Loomis — I have a GL3 6 wt that i love chucking streamers with, and for the price you cant beat it.

[Colin M.]

Gotta agree especially when you get a bunch of birds in real close.

[Colin M.]

I have to agree, it seems like alot of these are looked down upon, i’ll post a couple amazing shots i’ve gotten with a stylus 730 (i think thats the number)

[Colin M.]

Sweet dude….thats awesome..where are the photos of the browns??

[Colin M.]

I’ve been fishing a streamer pattern that i created similiar to that for about 5 years or so…i must agree keeping the head “loose” is the way to go, the deer hair gives it a neat action in the water, sort of suspending the fly slightly off the bottom (depending how much weightyou have built in it…)

[Colin M.]

When you are fishing dry flies sizes 20 to say 14 5x is good, bigger 4x…If you are fishing small nymphs i go based on water clarity, 5x if the water is crystal, 4x if its murky…. For fishing big hoppers or stonefly nymphs i fish with 2 and 3 x…. streamers are generally 2 to 0x …. occasionally 3x if im fishing small streamers (rarely)…..

If you are anticipating hard strikes or big fish, increase your tippet.

its also good as a precursor to epoxy, some materials “fan out” when you use epoxy on them, however if you build the head with loon first, then put epoxy over it, the problem is solved.

Make sure to let us know when and where the photos you took on the trip get posted…Sounds like you had a blast down there…I envy the warmth, although the northeast is finally starting to thaw out, I hope.

The

[Colin M.]

Korker’s are pretty sweet, i have yet to try out the non-felt versions of any boots yet, I own a pair of simms ultralight and a pair of the korkers, i love the versatility of the soles, however they can come lose from time to time.

[Colin M.]

holy crap that was funny…i almost laughed out loud in class…that wouldnt have been too good…. 😀

[Colin M.]

looking for anything specific with the landlock? a trophy fish? lots of background? or a clean shot of a typical specimen?

[Colin M.]

I should also note that when I have him with me, noone ever even thinks about crowding around me…sort of a bonus….

[Colin M.]

Awesome fishing partners…Here’s mine…as a rule he stays on the bank until I’m done fishing a stretch, then he gets to have at it after wards…

Here he is trying to tell me where to cast next…(he loses interest in the fish the moment they are landed)

I think he may have some serious identity issues… 😀

[Colin M.]

i think you guys are full of shhh

[Colin M.]

The shot of the Mako….incredible….

[Colin M.]

Most memorable –> 1st ever bonefish…Walkwade…no guide…crab pattern, Chamber of Commerce bonefish

2 Best Wild Browns of ’08 both on same day…

Finally two shots of my best fishing buddy…

[Colin M.]

You should post some anyways… I love the photography on this site, and the lay out overall… I’ll post some of my 2008 guys once a few more people put up shots…

[Colin M.]

for long days where i might encounter alot of differnet situations (most days for me) i rock out with the willy J exodus pack… I love it, truely the best pack i’ve had… and the pack on the back is big enough to pack waders and a pair of shoes in if you are doing a big hike in, i went into the cheeseman with it, and that combined with the korkers chang-a-soles was awesome…

i have a patagonia vest , or a smaller willy j pack that i’ll bring when im fishing a pond or something more certain, like salt or for salmon

[Colin M.]

Gorgeous fish…
