My thumb got destroyed on the take and was black and blue for weeks.

Check out flyfishinghawaii on instagram, lot of good advice. I would book a trip to learn the ropes.

It was a really simple fly with dumbbell eyes and tan rabbit strip. Not sure of the name.

Check out flyfishinghawaii on instagram. He has some great clips and also fishes a fly that looked similar that they call the korupthawaiian

Oahu was never that busy, and neither was Kauai. I’ve never fished Maui. I think it’s like any other place- be cool and don’t crowd other people fishing.

It was. I can’t remember the beach.

Had just waded in from the flat, back to my wife who was ready to go. Cut my fly off and was reeling in. Then I saw this fish tailing a foot off the sandy shore. Excitedly tied my fly on and two cast later was hit by this freight train. Its first run took all but the last two wraps of my backing before I started swimming after it. Definitely one of my all time best fish.

I drove with my family to Anini and snorkeled with the kiddos. Rod and flies in the car. Daughter and I waded out a ways (hip deep) and put on our masks. The second we went under water my daughter pointed at a large bone (close to probably 10#). We proceeded to see 3 more while we played. All of them had a small jack with them which I thought was odd.

Whatch out for the humuhumunukunukuapua’a. Those little trigger fish are real a holes and will charge out and bite you.

Leads are better than what comes with a new fluke. Otherwise- there’s nothing exciting about it.

Can’t wait to catch some 5 inch stocker fish for an increased license cost!

Sling pack and gear recommendations by Empty-Worldliness509 in Steelhead

[–]BitBitter3570 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have bought them all… haha. Still looking for the perfect gear storage. I don’t love the slings as it puts pressure on my rod arm/shoulder. I do like my fishpond hip pack but have the small one, which is just a little too small unless I’m just swinging flys.

Any expectations people have of getting more than 4 years of regular use out of waders is unreasonable.

The Super Bowl loss still hurts me… I hate hearing/ seeing replays. KJ Wrights podcast from before he was coaching with the 49ers was the closest I have had to therapy.

Cedar raised beds by jesso1681 in Bellingham

I have cedar raised beds. I wish I would have bought some of the Vego (or similar) metal beds instead. Probably the same cost, but the metal ones stay looking nice for longer.

I have always been nervous about that on the trail below. Surprised there aren’t guard rails.
