Zach,
I fished a SJW on the San Juan and didn’t catch a thing with it, or anywhere else I’ve tried it.
Another fly I fish faithfully and won’t give up on is a Double Bunny, never got a hit, lots of monster follows, I hope to change that soon.
Lando,
Sure wish we got lots of snow in Tennessee. Keep the photos coming.
I dropped my flies off in the mail on the way back from the big city, (hospital better part of the last two days) when I left it was 2 each of two flies with a bonus fly thrown in. That is what I put in the mail, treat my package as you wish.
I’m fine, so well I expect to fish the better part of most days next week, go on the 4th and pick up our new Boykin pup and take Spey casting lessons on the 5th.
are you going with just us three or going to wait a while and see if we have enough to make it worthwhile ?
I’m in no hurry, streamer season is long for me 😉
Wife and I are doing out part, sending ours to Titusville, Flordia
getting a new CustomGheenoe LT25
she had wanted to go to Savannah, but out of the blue, she said you know if we go to Savannah we will have memories, but if we buy a boat, will have the boat “until you sell it” I did my research and don’t plan on selling this one 😉 I sold “her” Classic earlier this year.
Congrats Joel,
now tell Ron to break out that Whitney’s Gone Fishing Pale Ale I sent out your way, but rename it to Joel’s Troutaholic Pale Ale.
Hope to shake your hand in early July.

Could you supply us with the makers name of the CD case? I have two Cliffs Beast boxes and would like to make a few.
I am thinking only the Clouser line on this rod, I got a 9’0″ #8 rod I have a Clouser on for my “open” work, this rod will be for the tight stuff. Much like most people would use a shorter rod on a tight mountain stream. This rod will only be used on small “one angler” width warmwater streams with larger Smallmouth flies. If I want to use small stuff, I go to the tailwater for stockers 😉
has alot to do with the rod I got in my hands and the type of water on my tailwater I’m on. But:
Black Circus Peanut
or
small Black (self invention) similar to a Birds Stonefly.
Grouse are poison, I recommend you stay away. But if you don’t take my advise, 10 years ago, I visited my best bud in SW Virginia on a regular basis, 28 gauge Parker Repo, Llewellyn Setters, Elhew Pointers. Good exercise, lots of walking/exploring for very, very few birds.
I’d wear orange just to be safe.
I never found Grouse hard to kill, just hard to hit ;D
It’s only proper/sporting to shoot a game bird on the wing.
I had a Setterdog during the time frame I speak of that was as birdy as a dog can be, full of hunt, lock up and you could pick her up and move her, went
I just finished listening to all the season 2 podcast, can’t wait for #3. Like to download them and listen as I tie.
I’m leaning towards a Hefty myself, since I live on the river, I most of the time drive to and from the access points already in
In Tennessee it use to be a concealed permit, the last few years it’s not, if you want to scare the “do gooders” I can wear it on my side like the wild west.
It was an eight hour class, class room and range instruction.
There was a lady that took it with us, wearing a 5.9 carat diamond, and you wouldn’t want to try and take her diamond. She is new to the shooting sport. I myself was handed a firearm at birth, before the doctor cleaned out my ears 😉
I’m not scared of nothing, BUT, with all the meth labs and such these days, plus my hearing is not getting better as I age
