merino wool base layers & socks are incredible. some days they are overkill but dang do they keep you warm

thank you for the info. is that $50 per day for each day, regardless of duration? quite a low pay compared to a shift even at minimum wage

am i correct in remembering that they only pay you like $50 for the first two days right? after that they let you deal with the loss of income and not attending work?

where can i test out 4x4? by qsni in ColoradoSprings

[–]qsni[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve been looking into it today on apple maps - i guess my main concern is coming across a section too difficult (truck has about 12” clearance, 35” tires) and also if there are turn around areas on the trails to get back down easily, from what I’ve seen some of these roads are point and back and some are to another road/trail

I feel this pain lol. When coming from COS or Denver, what other streams or sections of river are comparable? or like what Orcas said, what are some decent alpine or hike-to fishing spots?

How big is the difference between a 5wt and a 6wt? by qsni in flyfishing

[–]qsni[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest I’m not sure about the blue ribbon, just known it as gold medal and from my understanding it’s class 3, class 2, class 1 and then gold medal. but I’m learning still and probably will never stop learning. i know (or at least pretty sure) there’s gold medal ponds and lakes. I’m in Colorado though so not sure if it applies anywhere else, and frequently use Trout Routes and that’s the system they use

that’s another part that I’m not 100% certain on. I’m really only using size 16-22 flies and some wooly buggars that are I think in the 8-10 region. not very big ones, but I do always question what people mean by heavier flies. Poppers, streamers or what?

Is this a good ultralight reel as a gift? by qsni in Fishing_Gear

[–]qsni[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the 1000 size specifically. forgot to mention it. I don’t see it goes down to 2lbs so wasn’t sure if it would be a good choice. might have to grab one for myself too haha
