Firewire, tough line, whatever, it doesn’t stretch at all which is its worse part, if a fish turns toward you you have like 4 feet of play before the hook pops out whereas with mono you have much more elesticity.
I won’t use braid for anything except backing and halibut fishing (in 100-200 feet of water) I hate braid hate it hate it hate it. It makes for line cuts, lost fish (lost a 60+ pound king due to braid once, clients lost lots of fish because they insisted on using braid).
Thanks for the info guys, I just have to convince the parental unit that a father son baseball watching trip should also include guided fishing
well they sell them at the fly shop here so I’ll pick one up, it’ll give me a good excuse to ask Brad about the fishing since I got back from steelheading
I’ll pick it up next time I see one I never realized that Powder has taken a turn for the better since Tom took over as editor!
The Cougar
Drinks… Chianti or port
Listens to… Fleetwood Mac
Potentially dangerous and always unpredictable, the Cougar stalks at night—waiting to sink her well-manicured claws into the backs of helpless young ski bums. Large populations lurk at high-end resorts all over the world. Satiated by a bevy of furs and the well-appointed ski-in/ski-out second home they won in the divorce, Cougars can be tender and generous benefactors. Most importantly, the Cougar doesn’t expect much outside of an energetic shagging from someone who in no way resembles her driven and successful ex-husband (like yourself).On the left

I suppose there are ski towns east of the rockies so cougars must live there, stowe would be perfect habitat
Fish
Dolly Varden notice the silver on the tail, it was just in the ocean
Fish was mad enough the headbutt the fly, weird I hooked him, not that I’m complaining
Stubby
Departing Shot
Nymphing, that bottom fly is a green butt skunk, the silver one was caught on a chartruse and black wolly bugger
You should probably just use garage band and the built in mic 😀 you should also post the podcast before 9 am Alaska time (1PM Eastern) so I can listen to it on the plane ride to yakutat (which last year had 15,000 steelhead!!)
Grayling here love stimulators, EHC, Humpies, Adams or pretty much anything floating, pretty much any smallish soft hackle is killer too, not sure how european grayling differ from Arctic though.
