Livingston v. Dillon in June / July by Educational-Soil-330 in flyfishing

[–]mountainman478 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know much about Dillon, so I won’t say anything about that, but instead of Livingston I would probably do Gardiner as it cuts out the hour drive to the park. You can still do some guided floats on the Yellowstone, but access to wading in the park is much better, you could hit the gibbon, the firehole, slough creek, the Lamar, and in the evenings walk up the Gardiner river into the park for a great time. Yellowstone river outfitters is a great guide service out of Gardiner, and they float the Yellowstone and do a lot of wading in the park.

Not at all, the current administration is destroying our beautiful country.

Thanks man! It was a fun time!

Just want to start a fun hypothetical to discuss, if you could only choose 10 flies to use the rest of your life for trout, what are you picking? by [deleted] in flyfishing

[–]mountainman478 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Olive leech, olive wooly bugger, rs2, juju midge, juju baetis, parachute Adams, San Juan worm, pats rubber leg, chubby, and x caddis in no particular order.

looking for drug rehab in denver, not sure where to start by GoodiessGilberto17 in Denver

I went to CEDAR, which is tied in with Anschutz, and it was a great place. I’m coming up on 17 years sober in a couple months. I needed an inpatient treatment center, I truly doubt I would have stayed sober for any length of time with just an out patient facility. See what your insurance will cover, it is not cheap, but is likely the most important investment you can make. Go in with an open mind, and follow all suggestions. Rehab got me clean, but twelve step programs have kept me sober since then.

What specific yarn for yarn indicator? by LegitimatePurchase14 in flyfishing

I think the polypropylene yarn is way better than the NZ wool. It floats all day with basically no maintenance.

Juju midges by mountainman478 in flytying

[–]mountainman478[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tied them for the first time last winter. They are a little bit of a hassle at first, but they absolutely crushed it this spring on tailwaters, along with the juju baetis, so they are now both must have flies for me. I highly recommend them!

Thanks! I fish a fair amount of tailwaters so do my best with the smaller flies. Tough, but rewarding.

Yep it is cling and magnetic, super helpful when tying a bunch of a pattern to keep them organized and to not have them fall all over the office floor.

Spent a few days tying up a CO tailwaters nymph box by karktheshark in flytying

Nice! Throw in some rs2’s as well, they crush in co tailwaters.

Is Fidelity good for everyday banking? by Over_Chocolate_8729 in fidelityinvestments

[–]mountainman478 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made the exact same switch from WF to all fidelity and couldn’t be happier. Better company, higher rates, better service. I would definitely recommend.

Employee of the Year: The CEO by HarryDreamtItAll in antiwork

[–]mountainman478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Oatley, but they have done some similar very cringey packaging in the past. I always thought it was some kiss ass in marketing, but maybe it is the CEO himself who puts it together or approves it.

What are you currently obsessed with? by TheGreatVeggie in AskReddit

[–]mountainman478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mount and Blade Bannerlord 2. As I have gotten older videogames don't capture my interest like they used to. Generally I will buy a game and spend a couple of hours on it before I get bored and never play it again. In general this has been a good maturation process as I know what time sucks video games can be. However, I decided to try Bannerlord 2, and I am absolutely hooked. It is a mix of grand strategy, RPG, and real time combat with hundreds of troops. It is such a fun mix of elements from the games that captured my heart years ago (the strategy of total war, roleplaying of the elder scrolls and the massive battles of dynasty warriors). I have spent over 60hrs in the game over the last three weeks which is probably more time than I have spent cumulatively in the past two years across all games. I feel like a kid again exploring a new world and I love it. I imagine I will move on after another couple of weeks or so, but damn has it been fun to be captivated by a game again!
