Hooking a springer on my 8wt lami is a fun ride indeed. Springer?  What's a Springer? Is that one of those fish no one let's us catch anymore?  I will be trying to nail Chinooks in the fall. . . . . . BMT

I really like the flyfish thread...........
Just bought my first flyrod a month or so back and am enjoying it. I haven't been to the stream yet - still mastering the cast and getting all the shiite one needs to properly fish for 12" trout. <g>
Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it.

To heck with mastering the cast B, just get out there and flog the H20 and rip some lips.
Personally, I feel that the fly fish'n part of this thread is the best darn part of it. And I say if anyone begins to talk fly fish'n gack that we drown the bastids...grin

Yea Mark thats a tank. Thats one of those rubber coated gloves. Doesnt do much for there teeth but lets ya get a grip on them. Springer's on the swing are hard to beat too. Rusty bombers make for a hell of a hit. Green fish are fun too. Mama is hell in the salt. Never caught one on the fly though..... ![[Linked Image]](http://i639.photobucket.com/albums/uu120/kenaikingmt/suzieq-1.jpg)

OK you guys, I missed a busy day on the thread... And for those of you catching Halibut and Dorado on a fly... YOU SUCK!  I really don't have much to throw in here, 'cept to add one to the pics of Pike on a fly.... ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/34990042.jpg) Ingwe

The largest King salmon I have seen caught on a fly was 65# and Miss T caught it on the Kenai... Old Fenwick Fenglass 9' rod (with a Hardy Husky... So much for the reel costing no more than the line and all the money going into the rod...) and a lot of time...

32 is childs play!  Fished a tiny stream as a kid with lots of 30ish pound kings and a 3 per day limit, on flies. Caught a lot of them up until it closed about 20 years ago. There was the occasional mid-40s king to keep it interesting. But even after all those kings on flies my best is far short of M's.

The irony... I made a few posts today and then went up the North Fork to drown some bugs after the very un-eventful trip on the lower river.. Just to make good, if you will. 4 miles of river, and 6 hours of fishing, and I [bleep] slaughtered them. I landed over 150 Cutties today. Biggest was just under 2 Lbs and right about 20". Damn good time today. I even had a Bull Trout follow a little cut into me. I had about an 8"er on the hook, and a Bull hit that. I'm guessing the Bull was about 8 Lbs and 35". Since the FWP closed down a few of the N Fork drainages, the Bull's have made one helluva comeback in the last few years. Now you can get a "Tag" for one per year. I may do that later in the season and try to hook one up on a 6 Wt I just got home... Good to see the Fly-fhshing thread is alive and well. Wish I took the camera today... And Dober... I've never fly-fished for Pike in the spring in my area. But Dennis Brieske (local auto body fame) does every spring when I'm busy bear hunting... I know where to go if you're ever interested
I'm Irish...
Of course I know how to patch drywall

I know I have to see for myself, but no one has definitly answered the short/long question yet. I'm sure i could get some more posts out of it. We haven't even touched on top or bottom seat reel mounts yet, or proper hand weld for longer casts. Do I mount a Pfleuger farther up than a Sage, or Hardy? R.
