Got mine today, going to start getting my money’s worth on Sunday at the big reedy.

Simms has great service on their wader repair; contact them about the currant turnaround time and cost of the repairs.

Wade,
I plan on doing a clinic on slack line casts and mends next year for the SSFFC. Keep an eye on the Kern site for more info. The class will be geared for strong intermediate to advance casters. You need to be a member of the club, and the clinic is free.

Jimbo, The last time I was there in 1984 you could catch fish like this. http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn235/one2use/bigfish_zps01cb83d0.jpg This pig was caught on a streamer. I’m not too picky when it comes to fishing for trout. I plan on fishing the L Owens a lot this season. And if we are lu...

Bill, I went swimming on the Henry’s Fork a couple of years ago also. But it wasn’t because I slipped, I was crossing the river and it just kept getting deeper until I was unable to stand on my tippy toes.

Just got back yesterday after 2 days of 0 flows with several 13' and one great 17". Contrary to belief I was catching on larger WD40's size 16, 14. when picking up rocks the caddis were very large and fat. Don't worry about the flows. just go… and visit David. Just nymph the larger deep holes....

When it comes to casting, it's not about the rod! A good caster can make any rod work. A lousy caster with a great rod will still be a lousy caster.

I hope the DWP turns the flows back on. I plan on going up next week and zero flow is a bit low for my style of fishing.

Shane,
Good luck in your new fishing grounds. If I ever get out that way I'll look you up.
