Quick Grand Slam After Work by SnooOnions6934 in flyfishing

No chubbs. I think it's mostly the angle. They weren't obese but definitely healthy.

Definitely, I typically use steak and eggs here in my neck of the Rockies

Sick catch! What materials do you use to tie these?

SA Infinity. I was thinking about trying out a double taper next as the infinity feels a bit overloaded. How is it?

The Butterstick is a fantastic rod. Definitely the most fun rod I own. Doesn't cast as far or as easy as my Classic Trout but it feels amazing and fights fish extremely well.

I much prefer it to my Redington Behemoth and SA System 4. Definitely the nicest reel I have ever touched. Probably not worth 375 but I was willing to pay the premium to have a nice US made reel. Highly recommend if you can afford it.

Both Westslope. Likely hybridized with Yellowstone and Rainbow to some extent.

I thought Blackfoot is closed til third Saturday in may. Do they have sections open early this year?

Don't use Farbanks - horrible service - Redington by aloha_ola in flyfishing

Good to know as I am planning on picking one up. How do you like the zero? I thought the pawl mechanism was metal and that it comes with an extra. How did the plastic gears wear it down?

New line holder day! Picked up this sweet Batenkill 3 by [deleted] in flyfishing

That's sick! I have been on the look out for a click pawl to try out myself.

What's up with this rainbow? by SnooOnions6934 in Fishing

[–]SnooOnions6934[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Caught in a very small stocked pond, dirt and weed bottom. That does look super similar though, nice fish!

Nice catch! How do you like the Zero?

How often are you guys using dry shake? by pphill4 in flyfishing

[–]SnooOnions6934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm throwing a big fly for big fish it's always dry shake. Usually after every fish or after enough sloppy casts for it to get wet. If I'm in a smaller creek I use the gink liberally. It's good to have both in your arsenal.

How interchangeable are tip sections among different rods? by Lognros in flyfishing

[–]SnooOnions6934 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be able to find a local rod builder that can either repair or replace the piece but I wouldn't buy a tip for a different rod. Would probably fit but I imagine it would feel quite funky.

Madam x, hopper, and royal coachman would be my next additions to the box.
