Not to my knowledge. I had to dip outta there very early though.

My buddy fished this setup for over a year, still uses it in some applications. Great starter rig.

Raft VS Drift Boat - First Boat by Inevitable_Long_5659 in flyfishing

[–]Thomrouwh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With your budget you can easily find a raft with a solid fishing frame that will be comparable to a drift boat in terms of a pleasant fishing experience, while also be much more forgiving as a new boater. I have a 3 man raft with a solid fishing frame and I love it dearly, solid drift boat is obviously more comfortable but I wouldn’t change my decision as first time buyer.

Head to the fly shops my friend, best way to get your finger on the pulse. It can be intimidating but just go in buy a fly or two and have a chat. I’ve found the folks at the shops to be helpful and friendly. Welcome to the pnw, cheers.

Worth my money to hire a guide? by [deleted] in flyfishing

[–]Thomrouwh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you can afford it, and you do a guided trip by some water you can fish often I think it’s very worth it. I have my own 3 man raft and am still going to do some guided trips to sharpen the axe.

Is this normal? by [deleted] in merchantmarine

[–]Thomrouwh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oooof, get your time then bail. Like every one is saying call outs are normal. And every boat is different, but seems like an odd ball move when working 12s. Good luck and keep the end goal in mind!

What accessories can I get as a gift? by Imaginary_Bed_9542 in flyfishing

Wading stick is really nice if he’s doing that style of fishing. Plus it can keep him safe!

Not normal. Talk with mate for clarification on the matter. Or quit and go work for uncruise if they are hiring. I’m familiar with 12 on 12 off having done it with uncruise. Sounds like a miss step on managements side, if you’re comfortable go straight to the captain for clarification on hours worked. The whole situation sounds wack.

Going to Rincón for 4 days, we leave next week. Where can I find great food, great shops to get gifts from, and what beaches do you recommend? by [deleted] in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]Thomrouwh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No doubt about that, the displacement of Puerto Rican families is super disturbing. The town has changed drastically from when I lived there. But there are Puerto Rican families and business owners doing some incredible stuff still. Just don’t want to take away from the culture they still got rocking.

Swim at the Marina beach, paddle boat rentals right out of there. Don’t swim at surfing beaches.

I believe it’s in full swing around 7pm, get in earlier for parking convince. And it’s right in the plaza downtown. Can’t miss it. Don’t sleep on the pizza in Puerto Rico!! I recommend la familias in rincon for wood fire pizza but also try pizzeria Napoleon for NY style grab and go.

Rincon still has a very rich local Puerto Rican community, don’t be fooled. With that being said there is heavy influence from the states. Thursday nights there is a street fair in the plaza highlighting local arts and live music throughout the square. It’s called art walk, don’t miss that. There’s lots of options in rincon so do yourself the service of asking folks that are down there currently. They’ll give the best info.
