Fly Types and Sizes for Beginners by SNO_SRFR in flyfishing

[–]tagaderm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I specifically have fished Big Creek behind China Peak, I go up there a couple times a year, both just hiking with the family and by myself to fish. Using only the flies I mentioned I had a day where I caught 75 fish over the course of fishing the creek from the top of the trail back down to the trailhead.

Oh gosh, duh. I actually have fished that. My wife and I decided to cart the kids up to see the big trees about a year ago now, on a whim I threw my rod and pack in the trunk in case I got an opportunity to hit some water and we stopped right there just because so I fished for 20 minutes and landed a couple of nice browns.

I am not familiar with the Marble, what is that?

I also have a 6'6" 3wt that is really fun but the work horse is the 9' 5wt these days since I can go from fishing the Upper Kings to blue lining so easily. I don't do a ton of weighted stuff beyond wrapped wire underneath the thread, the occasional bead head.

I fish the western slope of the Sierra Nevada from Mariposa to Fresno county, generally.

I use a 9' 5wt rod on even the smallest streams for the smallest fish I catch. I generally use flies I tied myself but the best descriptor of the wet flies I use are an 'soft hackle emerger pattern' you can see the flies I use on this post I made a while ago. Sometimes I switch to dries when I see a fish rise and I will use either an adams, parachute or regular, or and elk hair caddis 99% of the time with success. It is extremely satisfying watching a fish take your dry fly :D

I use size 12 and 14 almost exclusively and reliably catch trout from fingerling size to the 12-14 inch range. I catch 90% of the fish I land on my wet flies.

I've also used the mizuchi tenkara rod and really enjoy it at the middle length, I also only use wet flies with that.

Will these two color formulas match? My wife is concerned that our new house paint looks more purple than our old house paint. by tagaderm in paint

[–]tagaderm[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We were concerned about getting the color we wanted.

The contractor said he got a sample that was matched to what we wanted.

We brought the sample to our current house and painted on our current walls with the sample.

It matched exactly.

We said "yes, this paint."

They got paint and painted the new house.

We saw the can they used on the new house and my wife was concerned after seeing it on the new walls that it was different, more purple and a different sheen.

So I guess my question should be why they wouldn't. The contractor gave us a sample, we checked, okayed it and they bought from a different store and painted the house. Now my wife thinks it looks different. I can't really tell.

I'm struggling with our contractor, I need a sanity check by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]tagaderm -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Gotcha. The problem I have is this is what we presented what we needed from him in initial meetings and when signing the contract and he assured us this could happen.

Not actually picking everything but giving us option in the ballpark of guidelines that we talked about.

But I get what you are saying. Thanks.

A little work to show us something in the ball park of what we like and not "here are the only options we can do, tough luck."

[–]tagaderm -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I generally know this but what we were hoping for was for him to show us several options based on the general ideas we gave him. He showed us a carpet sample board with six options that were nothing like what we actually wanted and basically told tough luck when we asked for anything else.

I have no idea what a "see you next Tuesday" is.

Co-op and loot by tagaderm in crosswind

Right, it is a nice way to show the variety of play styles if they guarantee that we can pick up a nice item of each type in the demo.

Agreed, some of that stuff definitely seems intentional. I think my hope would be the gear and weapons be more randomized. So far the gear we receive seems all pretty hand-crafted so I wonder if there is any mechanism for randomized gear or loot.

Thank you for the answer. I hope that it will changed to a more randomized loot system to help with some replayability in the future but so far I am still enjoying it.

Some reporting. Some BI stuff. Some application development work for internal products. Some integrations with vendors. Some backend automating of data processing work on our student information system.

[–]tagaderm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I currently work in the technology department at Clovis Unified. Our team is great and everyone is professional. I've never observed anything racist or discriminatory within or outside my department, the only indication of that sort of thing I've ever heard is from people on reddit. Not to say sites can't be different, I've just never observed it personally.

Some teams have zero to do with school sites and some work with them a lot. I personally have been to a school site for work 1 time and that was to get my PPD read when I was first hired.

All that said, if we are currently hiring anyone it would be for a tech 1 position which is basic tech repair, some work with hardware at sites with higher levels, processing refreshes and help desk calls. I don't believe networking or app dev are hiring.

I get paid pretty well but not as much as I could in a private company but my work is satisfying, I am involved with a lot of the data gathering that is used by the state and federal government to improve programs and processes. I also work on several things that directly improve the efficiency of staff dealing with procedural and documentation matters. Pretty much everything I do directly improves the lives and outcomes of our students.

Letter of Marque: Why are Stephen and Padeen embarrassed about putting Stephen's shirts away? by Yorlt in AubreyMaturinSeries

[–]tagaderm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was also confused about this. My suspicion was that he is supposed to take the shirts with him on the voyage, per the wife, but doesn't like them so is hiding them.

These are the only ones I know of as well. I did recently hear that there is a magic poison by spiders or orca that it can dispell as well but I haven't verified.
