I use the Rio indicator line or my GL steelhead nymph rigs.  It’s actually has a really nice taper and is probably the best nymph lines I’ve used.  SA has a similar line (with an orange tip, too – both of which are a good concepts, but not really practical) and that line works very well as well.  

Shane, I thought the indicator tip would be a great tool as well.  However, I have never found that it works all that well.  Most people I know that use either the SA or the Rio nymph line, usually cut the orange tip off because they think it spooks the fish – which is an entirely different argument.  My point is, the bright tip is not really a strong feature of the line.

It’s just like all Rio lines, the tip sinks.

What you all arent seeing is 2 solid days of nothing…Not just going without seeing anything, but suffering the cold, wet weather and throwing a 12 weight all day.

Screw trout – go to the marsh.

 My one stipulation is that you cannot be an internet stalker.

Well I guess that throws me out of the running.

[Tim Pommer]

Glad to see you’re finding them now.

Fishing was very slow, but at least the guy who traveled the farthest to fish here didnt get skunked.

Mark with a massive fish:

Steve – 80lb maxima.

Neal, I’ll take 3 of each!

[Tim Pommer]

Cool post Neal.  Thanks.

Question: how compressible is that wool head? I ask because you have a huge bunch right in front of the hook point.

[Tim Pommer]

Wright bros strike again!

Good stuff.

[Tim Pommer]

That is the best looking PM brown I’ve ever seen.

[Tim Pommer]

Just for the record. I called that fish.

We need Porter to post up your big girl, Lee.

That last sequence is killer!

[Tim Pommer]

I am not alone!

Getting blanked makes you remember why you fish in the first place.

[Tim Pommer]

Nice Mike.

[Tim Pommer]

Nate – dont forget the beauf is a streamer, not a popper.

All these reports of great fishing trips, lots of fish caught and great pictures remind me it is great when it happens, but the flipside is, it isn’t always that way.

Especially today.  

I committed to throwing big today. 10wt, steel leader, whistlers.  Only threw for muskie today.

5 miles of water, 10,000 casts not a single eat.  And it rained the whole time.  My rain jacket sucks.  And I never busted out the camera for a single picture.

I’m ok with it though.  The fishing, company and river was good to me.  Not one other car or boat out today.  (smart fools) The catching part sucked.

When was the last time you were blanked?

Get used to it if you’re committed to chasing those big boys.

Steel is harder to come by in the fall on the North Shore.

[Tim Pommer]

I bought the book. Thanks guys. It’s all I have fished for the past month and Im still scoreless, but thats the way the cookie crumbles.

Took me a year of getting blanked before things started to click.
