However I do fish for kings, which is kinda like fishing for steelhead down in America,

Joel,

I’d do the 9′ TiCrX #8 and since you get such a good deal, throw the conversion to 11’3″ in with it.

[Tim Pommer]

Joel,

You gonna swing, use an indicator, or chuck and duck?

[Tim Pommer]

I’d be really interested to see how you guys do.

This place always puts a smile on my face:

No fish there… 😉

Aint that the truth.

[Tim Pommer]

NICE!

[Tim Pommer]

If you ever wanted to get in a bar fight with fly fishermen, this would be a great way to do it.

I thought real fly fisherman hung out in $5,000 a week lodges, sipping on fine whiskey and smoking cigars – not in grungy bars.

Eric,

To give a more serious answer, steelhead dont seem to respond as well to a jerky strip like a trout.

Seafood,

[Tim Pommer]

I wish I could have done that kind of stuff when I was 11.

[Tim Pommer]

Very well done Seafood.
