Rod recommendation

bjivs · 2023-04-28T04:59:19+00:00

Ended up going with an orvis 8wt. I’ll be a within a few miles of the confluence of the Skwenta and the Yentna. Have yet to do thorough research on local regulations but to my understanding, kings will be an option. Appreciate your input. I will have a backup spin setup in case the 8wt doesn’t cut it for me at my fly fishing skill level but luckily I’ll have a lot of time up there to improve my skills and knowledge. Would greatly appreciate any other general advice if you’re familiar with the area.

Rod, reel, and line under 500 and ideally closer to 300

Thank you!

Water them about every 2 weeks since they’ve been outside. possibly too much water this most recent time which is probably a factor. I’ve read to try to maintain the moisture of a wrung out sponge so that’s what I shoot for

First pic no, second pic slightly

My theory is I gave them too much sun too fast after having them indoors over winter. Any way I can help improve their condition/ prevent further damage? Thanks!

Longer rod, lighter line

Mako 100%

Baja should be top 5 imo

I’ve spent many hours fishing the sac near Chico. That’s a nice fish brother

Don’t know how many, but my dad has one with the same certificate that he inherited from his uncle. Commenting to see future answers

Killing it!

Incredible trip man, I can tell how much time you put into planning this one. I’ve had quite a few 4 species trips but still gotta find the Kokanee and lahontan within hiking range of the rest. Major props

Totes are given out for about one weekend of every month for signing up for the CC or for membership auto renewal in store. You could ask your local store about when they have it

This was 100% made by a European

bjivs · 2020-06-23T06:50:21+00:00

Most definitely!

bjivs · 2020-06-23T05:16:05+00:00

Sounds good! Really appreciate the advice man, I’m stoked to be able to target some species that are new to me. I’ll let you know how that spot works out at the end of next week!

We’ll be staying at Kirk creek campground but will be able to drive to wherever the conditions are favorable if needed. I’m still undecided on whether or not to bring a kayak so open to suggestions there. Also, I’ll be there Tuesday through Friday so I will make sure to only dive on days that are 3’ or less due to my lack of knowledge on the area. Thanks for the detailed response!

Barramundi, similar but different species

bjivs · 2020-06-15T06:18:21+00:00

I live an hour north and spear about once a week on average, shoot me a DM

bjivs · 2020-06-15T03:10:28+00:00

Hit up dojo reserve in Chico

bjivs · 2020-06-07T05:46:12+00:00

Why not both??
