So awesome. I still cherish my pictures of me as a little guy catching fish with my dad and grandpa. Of course, they were bluegill and 6-inch trout, and not the giants your little guy is holding. Well done, grandpa!

I, too, was unable to post for a long time, although I haven't actually been doing much fly-fishing of late. I have a couple of reports from the Summer that I'll add (I already put up a trip report from Park City back in July). I miss the excitement and enjoyment of opening the FFA board and seeing ...

Great news! I'm glad your house and community were spared most of the damage.

There are so many cool places in the Sierras. Thanks for taking us along on your trip.

I don't have or use a wide array of rods and none of them are high end, so take my thoughts with a grain of salt... ...but I've used a 7 footer and an 8 footer extensively on small creeks, and for me, I greatly prefer the 8'. The majority of my "casts" are dips, daps, flips, and bow-and-ar...

Wow, Jim. What a gorgeous-looking place. I'm glad you've found a great spot to put down roots. I'm looking forward to your fishing adventures in your new home.

My guide said it was around 50 + pounds. He said it was probably 60 pounds before it swam 100 miles up to where I caught it in the Yentna Drainage area. I caught it on a Winston Blank 6 weight that I built in a unnamed creek about 100 miles inland from Anchorage on a pink wog fly. Took about 30 min...

Holy Smokes! That first fish you're holding looks like an over-sized stuffed animal fish you'd get at Costco. How much did that thing weigh?

My name is Rielly, and I have a strong addiction to throwing dries on small mountain streams.

Oh man, that is a beast. Fantastic specimen.

Oh, the trials of teaching a newbie the fine arts of flinging flies. Takes a ton of patience.

It's definitely been sad seeing the lack of activity on the board. Traditionally it slows down some during the winter time, but it's been especially sparse this season. I know for me personally, I just haven't been able to get out and fish much recently. I haven't touched a rod since my 2-day run to...

I'm so very sorry for your loss, Jim. You and your family are in my prayers.

Sounds like an awesome trip. Glad you got into the fish. Thanks for sharing.

I don't see them, either.
