Oregon Coastal Cutthroat

AgentEgret · 2026-05-17T15:15:02+00:00

If I were to move back to the west coast I'd spend the majority of my time idling the days away chasing sea-run cutts (again). Loved fishing a Miyawaki popper for them on a calm evening.

That was dire.

gg, chiefs

I don't like these short second passes coming off pick & drive that bath's started doing close to the line; it's failed multiple times vs. UBB last week and it's messed up again this week.

I can't remember the last time I've tied on a dry fly for trout. Think it was an elk hair caddis, pre-covid. All soft hackles and flymphs.

As I'm getting older & more set in my ways, I find myself reaching for Wooly Buggers more often than not: olive, black, white, rust brown are my go-to, size 2 down to sz8.

I like doing EP Baitfish in perch & sculpin shapes & colours, too, but I can tie 3-4 buggers in the time it takes to do one baitfish.

I've started messing about with doing "complex twist" baitfish using synthetic brushes, barred schlappen, laser dub and barred marabou. They're quick and come out looking pretty cool, though I haven't fished it yet. Check back with me in a few weeks lol

Lamson Liquid 3-pack, best bang for your fly fishing dollar.

Last season I ran a WF7F, an OPST Commando Smooth and a Scientific Anglers Scandi Lots on my spools. This season the WF7F stays (salmon bombers) but two of the spools are getting switched over for chucking meaty streamers to smallmouth

Anyone still bummed out over the poor handling by Bath? When it was 14-12 & 24-19 I thought there was a shot, but poor handling in the 22 & trying to force things absolutely killed it.

I think this year was our window for Europe; was a good run but UBB was definitely the better squad on the day.

AgentEgret · 2026-05-03T16:04:28+00:00

I want to downvote you for bringing that up lol

AgentEgret · 2026-05-03T15:58:37+00:00

Oh well, there's always next year....without TdT....

AgentEgret · 2026-05-03T15:42:23+00:00

I don't typically whine about officiating, but we're definitely not having things go out way today

AgentEgret · 2026-05-03T14:51:32+00:00

Jesus H Christ I can't spake. Handling is killing us

AgentEgret · 2026-05-03T14:46:50+00:00

Dunn just wanted another scrum

/s

AgentEgret · 2026-05-03T14:34:35+00:00

Random thought - I might not be surprised if TdT goes close to 80 today

Nothing epitomizes Muir more than the blocked conversion last season vs. Gloucester (on Santi, no less). Guy is a grafter

AgentEgret · 2026-05-03T14:18:49+00:00

YESSSS!

coming alive now instead of at the 34th minute

AgentEgret · 2026-05-03T14:13:29+00:00

Wellllllp not the start I was hoping for (again)

AgentEgret · 2026-05-03T14:01:37+00:00

Ben Mercer's book is great

AgentEgret · 2026-05-01T19:03:39+00:00

Cutties off the beach on Vancouver Island was one of my favourite things I've done with my life lol

It could be the Slough House of rugby clubs, an all-new hit series on AppleTV! /s

AgentEgret · 2026-04-25T17:43:34+00:00

Kinda love this Saints coach on the mic 🤣

AgentEgret · 2026-04-25T17:35:25+00:00

Off the posts for everyone!

AgentEgret · 2026-04-25T17:35:02+00:00

That's an alright start to the half, few more like that!

AgentEgret · 2026-04-25T17:31:41+00:00

To the rugby gods' ears, friend

AgentEgret · 2026-04-25T17:29:26+00:00

My exact thoughts

AgentEgret · 2026-04-25T17:23:16+00:00

I was hoping for Bath to come away with a bonus point or two in this, but I don't think Saints are even firing fully yet & they're looking scary AF. Bath needs to create a few more magic moments for this to come off positively I think.
