    Got out this morning for what might be my last float of the hatch. Took the Striker and was first one down. Love that little boat. Smokes the Flycraft IMO.





    Bite was a bit slower but I managed to find one last nice one.





    Happy 4th! What an awesome country we get to live in and call home.

    had a great time getting out for poopers on the SUP with dibs

    missed a few shots but saw him land this absolute tank + a few others

    really fun, really challenging fishing. Dibs makes it look easy

    Went to the river but stayed on the reservoir instead. Only one vehicle and didn’t feel like paying for shuttles. Wife and youngest were tired of the river, but neither had been on Flaming Gorge on a boat.

    The motor turns the drift boat into fun time tube pulling boat. In between pulling them around I trolled some crankbaits, enough smallmouths chasing them to be entertaining. None very big, but I’m easily entertained.

    Headed north to fish with friends and explore some different water. Some of you guys may recognize this boat from 420 on the green. I’ve met and fished with some really cool folks as a result of that meetup. Stoked I decided to come hang with you all!

    Jealous, very very jealous. Those fingers look familiar when those things take off it’s like hooking onto the city bus.

    The big bugs finally got to our neighborhood. Didn’t take time to take any actual fish pictures, but camping on the river never sucks, and it’s even better when the fish are eating bugs the size of your pinky.

    I've got a hook set question for the collective:

    Last night I found some really fun, challenging dry fly fishing that was quite different than what I usually do. In order to reach rising trout I had to make 60-70 foot casts across a slow, deep pool into a slightly faster current. To get good drifts I used long tippet and a downstream reach. I had plenty of takes but, unsurprisingly, only a few hookups. For those of you who fish more big water than I do, what can I do to even slightly increase my hookup rate? What details could I be missing? Would you go for shorter drifts but less slack? Fluorocarbon tippet to reduce stretch? Thanks.

    It was a great evening. An osprey and a few mergansers were fishing with me. I wish I brought a real camera as my phone pics just don't do it all justice.

    Suggest a soft hackle dropper under the dry — it might be that they wanted a drowned fly?

    The fish I caught (and missed) were on a PMD emerger under a parachute pattern I could see from far away. I also caught a few small fish that were rising much closer to me on the emerger. You could tell from the rise forms that they were eating just under the surface. I don't think fly patterns were the issue. My problem was getting a good hook set with so much line and leader out (slack + stretch). I know I can't make this problem go away, but I'll bet there is something I could do better. I mostly fish small/ medium water. Typically, the only casts I make over 40' are in my driveway.

    Get closer.

    That just sounds like a tough cast. Shorter tippet could help, maybe less pause than usual for a dry fly hookset? Probably just need to get more practice in to figure out the rhythm.

    It does -- and it's truly hard to guess from this side of the internet

    I'll offer another guess that it might be timing the set (or predicting it), more than extra limp line between you & the fish.
    The water should provide enough resistance to move the fly itself w/ alacrity when you strip set (lifting the tip may not provoke the same kind of hook movement)
    altho it may not necessarily always be in the direction you want (subject to position/direction of the tippet)

    Would have been better than the janky, limp, loose-ferruled loaner I fished. Whatever. Didn't even diminish my day a little. I was in a strange-to-me place targeting a species I've never caught before and the afternoon was non-stop streamer action. Plus my brother-in-law and nephew managed to land a few fish and are stoked. I'm hoping I can convert this into more fishing on future family trips.
