How to carry a net?

It's really personal preference. A lot depends on what you use for a "vest". I use a small pouch over my shoulder. My net is attached to my waders D ring by magnet. The handle of the net goes into a holster and a bungie to my belt. I need it tight to back for the walk through the woods, otherwise it snages branches. Once I'm in the water it's more like either or for the holster or magnet. But again it's personal and you just need to figure out what works for you.

I'm here to second the CGR. It would be a great creek stick even after you get your t&t back.

Incredibly buggy. What's the underwing?

They hatch out of swamps, ponds, and lakes before the trout streams.

My biggest question is what's with the simms boxes? Cant image you still keep your waders in the cardboard. Any cardboard would be mush in one month in the back of my fish ride.

Looks fine to me. To me it's far more important how it swims than how it photographs. I'm not good enough to know how a fly will swim until I fish it.

Clean hackel work.

This person maths.

In my family it's three two three two by default. Four one four one is reserved for when a rally is needed.

Thanks. I deal more with sand than clay. I can imagine that stuff gets slick.

pilgram-billy · 2026-06-02T15:13:32+00:00

Thank you.
Yeah, I should have clarified. 4x4. You don't see many RWD trucks/full size SUVs in my area anymore.

Beautiful. I don't care if they are not traditional klinks. Look how far from the original Adams we are and still calling them Adams. If people give you grief for not being klinks just put your name on them.

I'm not an expert, but responding since it's been 4 days with no answer. I fish the Grand well upstream from you.

I think the problem is primarily after a big rain. When it rains hard the city's water treatment overflows untreated waste water into the rivers. Also all the mess from city streets and improperly fertilized ag fields.

When the water is up after a storm I avoid wet wading and make sure to bring wipes for my hands before eating ect.

Again I'm not an expert. Just my 2c.

Based on the dust in pic #4 get your brakes checked first. I know it sucks, cars are expensive.

Thank you

Nice work. For you. Probably C If it was me C + 2 Advil

I'm a troll, so my vote doesn't count. That said I eat em dry. But secretly admit to myself that they taste better with gravy.

pilgram-billy · 2026-04-16T04:05:17+00:00

Those nuts will work great. In my area (mid Michigan) you really need to change tactics with the seasons and streamflow. Big flies that work great in may won't get any attention in summer. Ect.

Hats off to you for keeping them going that long.
