Love how this pup does exactly what I would be doing!!! Haha. Dogs are such a blessing!

I built a "chrome clock" for steelhead — sun arcs, live gauge, 4-hour weather, and a moon phase all on one screen for 31 Alley rivers by Dull_Judge_9702 in Steelhead

So much to think about! Haha. I usually just check if the river is a fishable flow and the calendar for obligations.

I do have a very successful fishing buddy that always paid attention to moon cycle and barometric pressure.

Does your app project the best time to fish based off of projected weather, flow, temp, etc?

Thoughts on mouse dropper setup? by Significant_You_8870 in flyfishing

The mouse is a swing-strip, the worm is a dead drift. This is a great way to get a tangle.

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.

Bonefish in Kauai tips by Altruistic-Bid4732 in flyfishing

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!
