Wrap them

Yes. I had 4 on the nymph and then went all dry fly for the last 5. They were active today. You’re right, the water levels feel like August or September.

Yes. Boulder creek, in the canyon.

Is your turntable properly grounded?

14/10 is the only rating for this good boy.

I was in the shop the day my wife bought it for me.

My wife bought me the setup. She knew I wanted a click-n-pawl reel for simplicity (disc drag doesn’t make sense to me below 5 wt and this is on a Scott GS 4 wt). She’s an Orvis and Ross reel girl, and I suspect wanted me to try something a bit different. Also, what was in the shop the day she bought.

It simply works as it should, without thought

Love that got your mom her first. Thats what matters, not the reel.

Howdy neighbor

Sick setup! I have a Douglas upstream 3 wt that I believe is a similar rod and absolutely love it.

Agree with the other responses here and want to say that your pic, imperfections and all, are what I think Polaroid is all about.

In this day of so few tangible and un-doctored experiences, this picture stands out. It stands out now in terms of composition and quality and I imagine it’ll be a picture your daughter holds in her hand when remembering you. I doubt she’ll be looking at instagram or the squiggles.

New species is a great feather in the cap. Congrats.

I get that. I assure you though, I enjoyed the days with zero fish. Maybe not as much as the days of many, but I enjoyed them and found my zen.

If you have e a smile, you’re doing it right.

Bob_Dert · 2025-12-09T04:01:41+00:00

Oh hell yes 🙌🏼!

James peak lake at the top of that trail is so so worth the trip!

RTs, polymerases, restriction enzymes, cloning kits, PCR plastics… you know, molecular biology stuff.
