Roos, tad windy doesn’t do it justice. I like a bit on the breezy side! Thanks again.
Just got settled in after a few weeks of traveling

Another trip in the books! Some highlights, a bonefish on a cuda fly, I was screwing around trying to hook a cuda while waiting on the tides and a bonefish swam by so I threw to him and I will be dammed if he didnt eat it!
Spent my first significant time on the pole (insert your mom spent time on a pole joke here).
We saw more permit than I have ever seen on this trip. Between the bones and permit my hope is that the waters are getting healthier.
The highlight is always the tarpon, crazy trip this year, I had at least 9 eats, count them 9! and couldn't get one damn fish to the boat!

I had a day in Cheeseman Canyon at 65 CFS where I had 10 fish on and lost them all.
I hope you’ll be OK, I still think about it, and those things weren’t tarpon.
Got out for the first time since april

7wts are fun for WB but 5 wts are funnerer! My kid caught way more than me on jigs. Is it still flyfishing if I chuck curly tail jigs?

What a year for the big bugs!
Cary has been teasing me with texts, and I can’t look at Colby’s fishtagram anymore because I’m jealous.
Check your email.
SFB you are killing it with the whole fam float and all those monsters! Killer pics as always.

Cutthroats are pretty.
First fish ever caught on a fly rod, stoked to say the least. I can see this becoming a dangerously addicting and expensive hobby
I have huge hands, I swear...

Nice work! Yes the first trout on dry fly marked the beginning of my anti-social downward spiral. This is one of my buddy's first bank sippers and he is on the pathhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...92b2e9c610.jpg
2 weeks of guiding, not a single cast by myself. Lots of big fish and happy customers. Now week off, nice to be fishing again. Hopefully get more pics too [emoji16]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...df15a17614.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...91153955b0.jpg

Took the 7yo on a four day trip to Starvation again, bought him his first big boy rod. Last time we were out there he lost something big due to the lack of drag on the spiderman pole.
He was pumped.

Went fishing with Lumpy an evening, 7yo couldn’t score one on his rod but got to reel in two good ones Dan hooked on his.
Attachment 288378
SFB came out with his boat and left it for me for the nights I stayed later than everyone else. Went out Sunday evening and the 7yo scored, hooked and reeled it in all by himself.

Went out Monday as well and he caught 3 more, Mom wanted to eat some so we kept two.

Hit the opener on a formerly little known section of water. First time in 5 years of fishing it the weather was cloudy. The bugs were insane. The high snow year busted out all the old beaver dams and the river flows naturally the whole way now, providing some healthy ass fish. Was lights out until it started raining, stopped counting after 7 fish in 2 hours on mostly big dries.

In the last 10 years I can recall breaking a grand total of 3 rods. This year I have broken 5 god damn rods and the year is only half over.
It’s God’s way of penalizing you for using a parachute Adams.
Just giving you some shit. (I have broke a rod by wacking it with a surf perch fly that had dumbbell eyes.). That ended up not being the worst thing in the world since it was a Loomis, so I did their trade-in and got my Crosscurrent 6 as a replacement.
Yeah, like the dumbass move I made on the Blackfoot. Lost the tip section of my 5-wt Sage.
Telee: are the Sage warranty people easy to work with ? Obviously I will have to pay for the new section as it was my fault.
