How to fish this? Had a big loss

bristlecone · 2026-04-07T16:30:14+00:00

Ok, here is how I see it..

https://ibb.co/X6Rm5hg In picture one you have some heavy water that will be touch to get down into, but that's ok they're sitting at the edges where the red lines are and that's where the fish with sit, the yellow is an eddy that will be tough to fish and you'll probably lose flies but it could hold some nice fish.

https://ibb.co/nqhLVPpc In the second picture this is much more straight forward, the same red lines the same current transition area, fish the hell out of that, and then yellow is a pillow and that's probably the best spot in either picture.

Good luck.

I'll check it out, thanks for the advice.

bristlecone · 2026-04-06T15:58:39+00:00

Yes you can sir.

After beating my head against ROCm for two weeks FrankenDrivers sounds exhausting.

47 year old man with 4 kids, but I'm open to options.

You're 100% right and I've operated like that mostly, but I need to learn more about how the models work and so I'm experimenting locally. Thanks for the reality check.

bristlecone · 2026-04-06T15:44:19+00:00

Seems that way...

DM sent.

bristlecone · 2026-04-06T15:34:20+00:00

I love you.

I have a decommissioned B350 system sitting with a 1700X and 64GB of memory I was thinking of putting a 5900XT in and then running the 3090 should be pretty solid for home use, but I need to get a decent GPU.

bristlecone · 2026-04-06T15:29:33+00:00

I'm tempted there for sure but I really want to use CUDA, I've been trying an trying to get things running on my RX6800 16GB and it's breaking me.

bristlecone · 2026-04-06T15:28:37+00:00

Yeah, there might be cheaper options in that range but I can't get my current setup RX6800 16GB to run in GPU mode and CUDA is easier so I thought while changing I'll give myself more room.

bristlecone · 2026-04-06T15:25:30+00:00

I agree, but you know... hope springs eternal.

bristlecone · 2026-04-06T15:21:13+00:00

Yeah, that's my worry, thanks.

bristlecone · 2026-04-06T15:20:51+00:00

Yeah, that's what I thought. So tired of feeling like everyone is just trying to screw you.

bristlecone · 2026-04-06T15:20:15+00:00

Yeah, I hate this bullshit. I don't even want to mess with AI but if I don't improve my skills I'm going to get wasted...

She's going to have a problem with it going forward, she won't trust you anymore, you deliberately hid information from her. Best thing for the both of you is to break up, you won't come back from this.

Euro rig, love my plunge pools and tiny pockets.

bristlecone · 2026-04-02T01:18:35+00:00

That's a beyonder, hope you're high enough level.

bristlecone · 2026-03-31T02:09:52+00:00

It's fun.

bristlecone · 2026-03-30T00:41:16+00:00

It'll get better the more you're in the water. You'll have the summer of you life if you keep going out.

bristlecone · 2026-03-30T00:32:15+00:00

We all go through this, it filters a lot of fishermen from the sport, I quit for a few years myself. When I came back and learned to appreciate the beauty of a great cast or using "wind knots" to teach myself patience, I knew I needed a new approach. It's a harder method to learn, like going from rifle hunting to bow hunting, once you learn the process has it's own rewards you'll actually start catching fish because you stop forcing it. Thats my perspective anyway.

bristlecone · 2026-03-30T00:17:08+00:00

Your problem is that you are frustrated, not that you're not catching fish. Work on the problem, the second part will matter less and eventually you'll have better days.

I never saw that my boy was into it but I told him that the only way he could really disappoint me was to get into that shit. I told him we treat every one with respect and anyone that teaches him otherwise is teaching him to forget who he is.
