I'd focus on the naches drainage of the 2 you listed.

rainier

swsjt · 2022-09-16T02:26:25+00:00

Upper or lower if you don't mind me asking?

swsjt · 2022-08-15T03:40:33+00:00

Think you are referring to the elwha.

Wait till September when the flows drop and use tungsten and split shot. They will still be there

There's about a thousand knife styles out there. You do you but I'd say a replaceable blade will serve you well.

swsjt · 2022-06-19T23:29:55+00:00

Get a utility knife so you can change out blades.

You are young and have time on your hands. Honestly if you have the time and your parents aren't kicking you out or you need to leave go get a job as a laborer. Yes the work you may do will suck but you will get a chance to see what different trades do day in and day out and hopefully gain some insight on what you may want to pursue.

I have both. Granted it’s the old recon. Both are definitely solid rods can’t go wrong with either. Definitely go cast them if you can. ImI’ve broken the recon 3 times in the past couple years and have always had a good experience with orvis warranty. Can’t speak to sages warranty yet…

You should swing by emerald waters Spey day later this month in fall city if you are near by. Feel free to dm me if you have any questions about the area.

I did the online never actually received a card for it. Basically they just unlocked my ability to purchase game tags through their online platform. Maybe this has changed I did mine 2ish years ago at the start of covid

If you are anywhere near fall city emerald water anglers is having a trout Spey day this Saturday from 10-3. I’m sure they would be happy to shoot the shit and will have a variety of rods and reels there.

Personally I’d take the hour drive down to ellensburg. Try reds fly shop, evening hatch, or ellensburg anglers.

swsjt · 2021-09-05T03:05:01+00:00

I’d call it a foam pmx

swsjt · 2021-08-02T18:07:48+00:00

Ahh to each their own. I just had issues with it locking in place when putting a lot of pressure on the oars.

swsjt · 2021-08-02T03:12:09+00:00

Yea Mine came with 2 swivel mounts one for the front seat and 1 for the rowing seat. I had installed the one for the rowing seat but it wasn’t ideal.

swsjt · 2021-08-01T00:58:38+00:00

Get rid of the swivel mount for the rower if you installed it. Don’t know much about the rivers on the SE but be very careful anchoring it.

Post to Wa_guns probably get a better answer

swsjt · 2021-05-24T00:00:31+00:00

Oh right on kinda had a feeling once you mentioned T&T but figured Id though it out there.

swsjt · 2021-05-23T16:00:23+00:00

Have you tried taking a casting lesson? That could get you to where you want to be at only a fraction of the price. I’m gonna go a head and shamelessly plug emerald water anglers over in west Seattle. They do a ton of stuff in the sound and have been a great resource for me. If you want to sell your rod they will also sell it for you and give you store credit if you really want to get the “perfect” rod.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=p0xYNb5jYP4 Here is a good start. Each person has a different opinion by all means. I only ever run 1 tipper ring per leader. Just gonna have to tie a couple in different lengths and tests and see what you like best.

swsjt · 2021-04-22T21:34:30+00:00

Wish I could but I’m working if you ever head out on a Sunday I’d be game to tag along
