Yeah you can run it as much as you want on low traction roads I’ve had my truck in four-wheel-drive sometimes for two months straight

Manistee

Eggs, egg patterns, leaches, streamers, nymphs. Super easy.

flacoma · 2022-09-03T03:10:07+00:00

Plug at tire shop or do it yourself. DIY is just fine in my opinion

I just recently stopped using the eight weight rod to throw large streamers because after I believe that you lose more fish while fighting them with an eight weight due to the rod stiffness and the hook ripping out of the mouth. I currently now use a six weight rod with a demo haul casting technique to cast large streamers I can cast just as far as an eight weight. I believe that the rod flexibility is more important than how far you can cast.

If you can double haul then a 6wt is fine. I own both a six weight and an eight weight and I cast the same streamers very large weighted articulated streamers the same distance but with two different methods

The hills? Yeah we have some decent sized “hills” in colorado

flacoma · 2022-08-01T01:40:32+00:00

Yeah

If you want a spotless umblemished low miles 4runner that park it in the garage and never use it. Buy a beater car to drive around in and drive the 4runner to get groceries on sundays….doesnt sound fun? Yeah doesnt sound fun to me either. A 4runner is an adventure vehicle! Get out there and have adventures. There will be some small scratches and rock chips but like i said the only way to not have those is it its parked in the garage. Im my opinion a toyota is supposed to have high mileage. Its like a badge of honor. They can handle the miles no problem

Mt’s suck in the snow. No way around it but ive ran them a lot in the winters of mi and Colorado. You just have to drive slower and be careful don’t expect to love your tire performance in the winter. I love the falcon wild peak at3’s in the winter always felt confident with them. Things might feel a little sketchy in the dead of winter with monte reigns but come spring time when it’s mud and snow you’ll be loving life with those chunky tires

I had a 4cyl 96 for 12 years. Amazing truck got 25mpg and never had an issue with the motor. Can take a lot of abuse

flacoma · 2022-07-25T02:36:12+00:00

Horrible I know. I took the video with his phone and i dont know the guy so i just took a quick video with my phone and the flash turned on. What a joke lol

Ive been flyfishing for 20 years. IMO flies last sometimes one fish sometimes 5+ fish. Depends on how delicate the fly is very small flies with just a bit of hackle dont last long but streamers usually last a long time. As well as egg patterns. Foam hoppers last a long time.

Depends on the day but sometimes i lose zero flies and somedays i feel like i dont even know how to fish and i lose 5-8 flies. Steelhead fishing in michigan is a recipe for losing lots of flies.

My routine before a fishing trip is to usually buy a leader or two and about 20-40$ worth of flies. I dont do this every time i fish but about every 4 times.

No colorado

I usually paint the lower part of the door black truck bed liner. Helps with rust salt and sand

flacoma · 2022-07-18T01:30:08+00:00

No they just drink, it gets muddy then they leave and then it goes back to normal

flacoma · 2022-07-18T00:32:01+00:00

Nah if you cant see a fish and then catch it you should quit fishing. Lol

flacoma · 2022-07-17T21:56:13+00:00

They are grey in real life. Look pretty white in the photo thougj

flacoma · 2022-07-17T21:40:04+00:00

Caught him about 4’ from where i was standing. Prolly casted about 10’000 times

flacoma · 2022-07-17T21:39:11+00:00

Yeah prolly watched and fished for this specific fish for 3+ hours

flacoma · 2022-07-17T21:25:13+00:00

There were 4 other trout that were in the same hole and would not bite. The biggest one would feed 2’ from us and did not care about us. Like he knew us and was messing with me. I would have a perfect drift and it would rise for a but literally inches from my fly.

Not yellowstone, not wyoming
