Other than the cabinet with the raised panel sides, this is pretty straight forward cabinet box making, with little more than a table saw needed.<br>
You could build one yourself or find a hobby woodworker to help you, or check with a local senior center ours is always looking for projects.Bwaahaaaa, very optimistic statement.
Fall and winter is best for the bull reds. Maybe October thru March. The rest of the year is good for the smaller fish. The winter weather can be tough or can be great. Any of the guys that guide out of the “Woodland Plantation” are great. They fly fish but I think they would do a fly/conventional trip.
The guides are Kirby LeCour, Rich Waldner, Bryan Carter, Alec ? and others. The Uptown Angler could help you out. I have taken a trip down there with “Tailwaters Fly Fishing” out of Dallas. They have it down.I thought it was bad timing. I’ve never seen a hatch on that river (NF). I have seen drakes and BWO’s on the Clarks Fork though for what it’s worth.

I have found this useful. It helps to have a float tube or kick boat. No firsthand knowledge of the rivers though.
Why not outlaw matches to prevent forest fires. Only the government should have matches.
Oops forgot, until this year Colorado’s biggest forest fire was caused by a Forest Service employee.
And so it goes. Whether flyrods, power tools or any other thing made in China. If we buy them aren’t we cutting our own economic throats and greasing their war machine.
Scary to think we need them so badly as a trading partner, that we can’t stop these products from import.
That may be the answer for the times I don’t want to drag a kayak in and out of my truck.
I have one of the earliest JW Outfitter pontoons that I haven’t used in a while. I’ll be looking for the American Angler article.
It might even save me a few bucks at the “boat” launch.
Zach,
The only other trip I have made down there was about four years ago. There was talk then about stopping ATV use on the beaches but it was still being done.This trip the word was ATV were fine and no talk of closures of any sort. I did see more of them on the beaches this year, compared to my previous trip.
Beach fishing though has never been closed on the East Cape.
Hope this photo fits.

Fished with them May 6 thru 12th. Crazy good trip, they’re great fishermen.

I really apreciate a business employing American craftsmanship. One that you can form somewhat of a relationship with, visit their workshops, speak face to face with the people with whom you are spending your dollars.
Rods that are made in trout country, by fly fishermen and women, people that are doing what they do because they love fishing as much as I do.
Not every employee but most of them.Who hasn’t seen Chinese copies of American products. Stolen designs made cheaply, without the expense of development. And no doubt they are getting better at it. No EPA or OHSA makes for easier profits.
Will the next big thing be WalMart fly rods and reels.?
Not bitter, just sorta sad. 🙁Has to be the Hardy and the Mystic. $650 vs $550.
Hardy too had to change from a rod building company to a marketing company a few years ago.
