Its more akin to medieval self-flagellation. Not to be confused with self-flatulence with happens with abandon, on about day 3 in the Boblandia Cougar Den when the weather turns to crap and we all...

Nick Jackson at Trout Creek, Ryan Russel at Spinner Fall, Ryan Kelly (not sure if he's doing his own thing), Colby Crossland of course out of Spinner Fall, Charlie Card. So many good guides. Imagine...

I'm in with hardside boat and can bring the Striker if seats are short. Taylor Flats group site as base camp? Guess its weather dependent on that.

Bobs slated for a cliff diving demo at the mouth...

4-20's a comin' folks. Who's in?

Divorce Sale! Bought this in fall of 2022 from the original owner in Boise but have never used it. I know Swimmy loves his for its multi-functionality. This one comes with extras like 2 Scott rod...

Once or so a trip I get to get off the sticks and try to find a stupid one to share. Yes, I should be ridiculed for cargo shorts and wading boots, not Simms Flats Guide pants, snap Howler...

Blue and purple. Head weight depends on river flow. Praying you aren’t chucking T-18 or T-8’s but somewhere in between. Throw the single hander back in the closet and bring a 2 handed 6wt instead.

Big thanks to Bob for the hospitality in Boblandia last weekend! Fun to be on board when you hit the inaugural brown right behind the suspected rock! Great food as normal and thanks for the homestead...

Couple of weeks ago a friend and I were chased off the Bighorn by flows above 6k out of Boysen so we punted and moved SW a couple hours. Found high water, but trout pushed up on the edges who were...

Harry, are you missing a black soft shell? Found one in the backseat of my truck (along with about a pound of red Boblandia dust).

Yep, great time. One of these years I’ll be able to sync up...

Sorry I had to bail early! When it started nuking again on Friday I worried about getting out of Boblandia and back to coach the kid's hoop game this morning. Looks like fish were caught and...

The droppers on the upper loop are closed and no running water on upper loop. Vault toilet open down by spots 1-4

You can also use a technique called walking the dog. If you are bobber fishing from the bank in high water and you are on a bank that drops into a few feet of colored water, you can just flip your...

Yeah, I think the A will be a pretty good rock garden for 7 miles at 800 cfs. I know of three guys with three hard sides showing up. All the known sneakers will be like full on Alcatraz rocks. But I...

I know that hot spring! Water slides prob weren’t open though!:)

The bow looked liked it’s done it’s spawn deal and recovering nicely! Great fishes!

Looks like roads are good and lower is clearing per Bob report from Swallow area. I was supposed to head up there today but had a family injury that will keep me here till Tuesday. Weather supposed...

Nice fish! I went the spring fishing direction about 8 years ago after a shoulder blowout and wondering why I was trying to milk out a late, maybe last dump of pow at the Bird in April. The slide...

I picked up site 8 from Tuesday to Saturday. Seems like that loop is filling up.

You’ll have no problem at Dripping Springs. It’s just south of Dutch John a couple miles on the way to the Little Hole ( bottom of A Section) takeout. All paved. They have improved sites with...

The A could use a tad bit of color for streamer fishing.

Just spoke with a guide who was up at Fonts yesterday to check it out. He said totally snowed in, no good access for launching, camping a no-go.

Or we could just go stay at the BYU Marriot and fish the Lower Provo all week. SFB and Roos could go to the Utah Lake boat harbor or the Provo storm drain outlet and target the white bass spawn,...

Hot and dusty coming up for 10 days or more in forecast.

I would say that is about as huDGe as it gets. Sages’ turn around time and cost for repairing the Dino-rods is excessive.

Wyoming requires all watercraft (including inflatables) to have the $15 AIS sticker displayed. You can buy them online or I’d assume at any of the check stations.

We’ll have plenty of garlic salmon eggs, marshmallows, and sliding 1/4-oz sinkers to share.

Can’t miss the crapper, it’s right next to the pay phone!

PowMow experience went south when they started fixing the toilets on a bi-weekly basis, about 2005.

Place has been a magnet and a money pit for big dreamers of long shot fortunes for years. That...

Everyone is encouraged to bring bananas, limes, and tequila to show good will to the neighbors.

I threw a 9’6” 7 wt One for a few years. Fast and brittle. Broke 3 sections of it. Been throwing a Sage Sonic 9’6” 7wt for a couple years and like it alot. It throws a lot like the old Z-axis in the...

So, that is effectively called “The Ratf*’k”?

Because Bobs new boat seats two in the bow, I’ll bring my steelhead plug rods and a couple Fish-On holders we can screw into the gunnel. That way we can back troll sardine wrapped Hot Shots and...

They’ll allow for plastic eggs only if they are from the injection molding factory in LaBarge.

I just checked the state regs. Book says pink bobbers and squirmy worms only allowed from dam to Red Creek and tenkara only from Red Creek to Swinging Bridge April 20-23.

Bring some streamer rods! Super happy to toss those and give feedback. Dibs would appreciate a couple of dedicated bobber sticks to critique.

I’d hate any place I’d of had to put up a mile of fence a day too!

I think it’s a reference to the indigenous nations of the area using “green” or uncured limbs of the native cedar and willow flora to cut and use to spear June Suckers (possibly not in June) and...

Snap, do you still have this?

If I’m still alive in 4 years I think I’ll move to either LaBarge or Brown’s Park and be a shuttle driver till I expire.

You can practice running red creek with my boat before you pop that cherry with the new hoopty.

I’ll bring a hard side and a rubber ducky. Should have plenty of boat space for humans and pooches alike.

Edit- and bringing about 10 pounds of elk burger ti use as needed (at least one pound for...

You forgot stupid juice.

Splash Zone. 2-part epoxy. Half the older commercial boats in Bristol Bay are held together by that stuff. Sets up underwater.

Prob should keep some in the Cougar Den. Hell, could even repair the...

Better start waxing those ferrules, cleaning lines, tying trombones and dungeons, and greasing bearings. We’re 87 days from 4/20 week in Boblandia ladies and germs.

A few drifts in relative solitude in Wyoming early spring is just around the corner. Then Bob’s 4/20 shindig. Always seem to miss the Cicada madness and prolly will again this year. But Green Drakes,...

Great trip Bob. We don't need no stinking fish! We had kids and dogs!

Bob’s Burgers 4-20 style

Cold Wyoming bow who braved the whitefish hoards.

Many thanks to Bob for the hosting. Phugging wind. Blackstone rocks. Remake of of True Grit rocked, fishing tough. The homestead tour was really cool!

Broke my streamer rod last weekend for third time. My bad for not following the SFB guidelines of pulling the rods out of boat prior to heading back to camp. Backup streamer rod is a noodle. Will buy...
