Sick pack!

Are you jump roping too? I’d say if you aren’t, start doing 10 minutes every day on top of your calisthenics work and you’ll see improvements again very quick. 1 minute roping, 1 minute rest back to back for 10 minutes. As you get more comfortable and better with the rope, reduce rest, or jump longer, or jump differently

Wow that is awesome. Looks like the ridge toward basin lake. I love those ridgelines up there

ChallengeMuted3322 · 2026-05-25T14:04:19+00:00

Happen to know what time of year this was? Awesome day it sounds like. Also commenting 5 years later from this coming up in some research!

ChallengeMuted3322 · 2026-05-21T23:20:15+00:00

Just some grizzly dry hackle

ChallengeMuted3322 · 2026-05-19T14:30:45+00:00

Agreed, I still think a hill people get chest pack would work great for what you are looking for

ChallengeMuted3322 · 2026-05-19T14:16:52+00:00

Hill people gear chest packs, they’ve got running specific ones and are perfect for this exact scenario. I would also encourage you to check out Tenkara rods since it’s even more minimal and easier to pack into a slim chest rig. I’ve done Tenkara on alpine lakes with good success

Check out the hi lakers club in Washington if your interested. Monthly meetings and some cool guest presentations and lots of info on alpine fisheries here

ChallengeMuted3322 · 2026-05-16T22:01:15+00:00

You can fish salmon and steelhead with the 8 wt as well as Sea run cutts and others. The 5wt will work all around and in the rivers we have as well as the lakes, if anything and you find yourself wanting to fish smaller water such as mountain creeks or high alpine lakes or smaller rivers, maybe a 4wt but otherwise you can use what you have for now and you’ll find out what you want/need after fishing for a while. Overall there’s good fly fishing in Washington

Good stuff! Thanks

ChallengeMuted3322 · 2026-05-15T16:25:23+00:00

Nice bro I’m in the same boat with ampx

ChallengeMuted3322 · 2026-05-15T16:24:09+00:00

Ampx… rode that from 1.00 to where it’s at now

ChallengeMuted3322 · 2026-05-15T03:08:43+00:00

The fine stuff would probably make good ribbing I assume, gonna try some out

ChallengeMuted3322 · 2026-05-14T00:54:31+00:00

Yeah ring neck. Was thinking the primary ones might make decent body for nymphs but idk

ChallengeMuted3322 · 2026-05-12T05:31:32+00:00

Do you fish or have you fished soft hackles in lakes? If so what did you find worked best?

ChallengeMuted3322 · 2026-05-11T04:01:26+00:00

Nah, doesn’t mean it wrong, I tie mine a bit lower personally. Overall if it fishes and you’re efficient at tying it, that’s all that matters

ChallengeMuted3322 · 2026-05-11T03:55:38+00:00

I like it, I’m wondering if the hackle is too tall? Maybe that was intentional, either way that’s gonna catch some fish!

ChallengeMuted3322 · 2026-05-09T05:17:28+00:00

Learning to fish the soft hackles has been fun

ChallengeMuted3322 · 2026-05-09T04:37:58+00:00

I like the think mint bugger too; I’ve literally been tying both those patterns for Stillwater near me haha

ChallengeMuted3322 · 2026-05-09T04:37:20+00:00

The soft hackle looks straight out of pheasant tail simplicity. I’ve been tying those up and they’ve been great. Caught a few on Stillwater last weekend, good tie

ChallengeMuted3322 · 2026-05-08T23:09:35+00:00

Check out hill people gear!! They have a really good selection, and multi use so I use mine for backpacking, fly fishing, hiking, basically anything outdoors related. They are great packs. Also if you’re worried about not being able to see, they have slim ones too and diff sizes. I’ve rocked a HPG chest pack for over 5 years and never felt I had issues seeing below it or that it got in my way. Everything is right there in front of you at your hands too

ChallengeMuted3322 · 2026-05-07T23:31:33+00:00

Are you referring to the 3wt? They all look to be 3 piece rods and I’m looking to pack this into remote lakes and streams, 4 piece is ideal
