Yet another comparison. This one humorous.

Looking forward to those reports. Would like to see some Chilean drift boat shots, Ian.
That is 10,000 miles from Alaska, Ian. You are becoming quite a world angler.
Hey, we need a photo of the assembly line, Zach. Nothing like a little pre-Christmas production spirit. 🙂
Scott, if you want to set up a January or February float on the Eleven Point, I would definitely be interested in meeting you down there.
Good report Matt. That’s a float I’ve been wanting to do. Man, you guys put in a hard day of it. And nothing like the smell of wet dog all that way home.
Look like Carharts……I think I will save the $ and stick with them.
That’s my only problem with them. They are well made and the crotch gusset is nice. I have a few pairs of the utility pants, they have double knees and such. HOWEVER, Carharts are made of a heavier canvas, their double knee is stitched and riveted, they have tool loops AND they are less expensive – WAY less! MK Utilities are ~ $80 and Carharrts double knees are $39.99 at Gander Mtn. I like the fact that MK’s are made in the US but I probably wouldn’t own as many if I didn’t have a pro deal – the Carharrts are a longer wearing pant.
Thank you one and all. I enjoy being able to share them.
It almost makes me want to come out there and visit (which is the intent, right?)
Absolutely.  😉
Just a note on the rainbow trout taking the midge Ian mentioned. I think that was the same fish drawn from two different sequences I got of it to show more precisely what is going on. I don’t know how well this comes across, but the trout actually has it’s mouth open to eat the midge in the first photo. It has taken the midge in the second. The third photo where you see the wake or the rise form is actually the fish turning to go down. So the actual rise form is an aftermath of the trout having eaten the midge.
John, you are blessed to be able to spend the time to pursue such magnificant creatures. We had a lot of barred owls around our neighbood. Any hints on how to get some daytime photo opportunites? Thanks for sharing.
Seafood, two great things I’ve learned from this board. Watch for food and weather vane shot opportunities.
Ian, I might of known you’d pick up on the flash material in the bunny fly–observant fellow that you are. Let’s just say flashabou would work.
🙂
I’d love a new 8wt Helios for some great streamer ripping action. Also, I could really use some new 9.5′ cataract oars.
Will settle for the usual, several hundred meter spools of fluoro tippet, 20 or so leaders and four or five hundred packs of hooks.
One of the perks and reasons bead fishing gained popularity is the fact that eggs are natural foods that are often taken deep by the fish.
In keeping with todays ethics and personal feelings towards catch and release fishing, it’s mighty tough to release a fish that is bleeding badly because it took an egg too deep. Well, it’s not tough to release them….it’s just tough for them to survive…..even if the line was cut and the hook left in them.
The bead method almost always insures a safe hook set in the lower corner of the jaw with the egg bead hanging safely out of the fishes mouth. So with beads, you’ll actually have much less fish mortality from taken the “egg” too deep.
Also, with the help of nail polish and the unlimited size and colors of beads, people can match just about any egg they want to match.
It’s America and everybody is entitled to their opinions…..but I think it makes a lot of sense.
