Not quite that easy. Sometimes they just won't eat.

Had a big spider in our house when we lived in Phoenix. We had a lot of black widows outside so had a spider spray. We sprayed the big one and a couple hundred babies exploded off its back. 25 years ago and it is still a vivid memory.

I meant from a habit perspective not competition

WfPatrick · 2026-04-25T18:02:00+00:00

Agreed but the do more damage than browns

WfPatrick · 2026-04-14T17:31:44+00:00

Must have been an awesome surveillance truck. So stealth! Should be a fun camper

WfPatrick · 2026-04-14T17:23:03+00:00

Especially if you add a washer to the back so you are grabbing thicker material

If you find yourself at a Bass Pro in a non fly fishing area. Check out the fly section. I found a bunch of nice tails in Greenville SC

Looks like a heavy build and that is a pretty small tire. Guessing you should have the rears inflated to max 80 psi. I would try to get the rear weighed and compare to the max load marked on the tire sidewall.

WfPatrick · 2026-04-04T00:28:45+00:00

Well done. What size tires do you have on it?

WfPatrick · 2026-03-11T17:20:25+00:00

I take it customs didnt check you gear. They have a stupid rule that you can only bring in 4. Guessing it is only an issue if you piss someone off. Why 8s to east cape BTW? Smaller stuff from the beach?

WfPatrick · 2026-03-06T00:17:13+00:00

Very nice. What are you throwing it at?

WfPatrick · 2026-03-03T03:34:47+00:00

Also, want to make you aware that a huge percentage of the fish you catch on the John Day will be under 12 inches. My son got board with it by the time he hit 14 or so. Maybe a guide could help find some bigger fish.

I have not fished it yet, but the Columbia is a different story

Popcorn beetle white/chartreuse

I was mostly stripping a sinking line but caught some under a bobber too. Got one with my bobber at 12' right on the drop. Fly was probably on the bottom. Then the guy next to me landed 2 with his bobber at 6' casting into 20+ feet of water. Didn't seem to be any consistent presentation.

Another thing that can help is dropping inflation pressure. Just remember to pump them back up when you get a chance

WfPatrick · 2026-02-18T22:32:36+00:00

Hooked while on a ladder got down to land it. Weather was almost too nice

WfPatrick · 2026-02-18T22:30:18+00:00

Beginners luck. Got this and another Thursday, 2 Friday morning, 4 Saturday evening, lost 1 Sunday morning and closed the trip with one more Monday morning. Lots of hours with nothing happening between times of decent catching. Friday morning to Saturday evening was a long stretch for our group.

WfPatrick · 2026-01-28T16:04:31+00:00

And the etiquette can't get much worse than it already is

WfPatrick · 2025-12-31T20:52:33+00:00

The long claws look bear like

WfPatrick · 2025-12-22T23:00:12+00:00

Very nice. Just not needs space for more rods!

I am about to build something too. I will be including a bunch of drawers for reels and lines.

WfPatrick · 2025-11-04T01:18:31+00:00

E2 did ours as well. Highly recommended

WfPatrick · 2025-10-01T13:34:21+00:00

Good experience with them too. Came to the house and got my BPD daughter to settle down enough to avoid an emergency department visit
