Just wondering if anyone wants to meet at the not a secret lake anymore, in September. Fishing fella
,Zen Leacher, Micro Brew? Are you guy's up for it?

TM,

I'd be up for a trip in mid-October when I can take my shotgun too. It would be prime leech time then.

You could get some duck feathers from me then for fly tying. Maybe even the second round of fly tying lessons.....

Zl, sounds good to me. I was just wanting to get a bunch of us together. October will be fine. I'm also gonna be heading up to Tonasket area in October.

TM - Count me in. October will be my best month. Tonasket would be a nice trip too.
Reno, mid Sept., heading back to Costa Rica for Thanksgiving.

I got mid-September booked on Vancouver Island fishing Silvers off Campbell River. I could show for an anytime in October trip though. Then it's off to Redding Calif. and Eagle Lake.
Part of my plan to make LIFE just one big fishing trip. I thiK it would be fun to walk into one of those MORE secret lakes in the Desert Wildlife area too.

Zen - I used to hunt ducks, mostly on the west side. Gave it up when they charged more, lowered bag limits & gave us less area to hunt.

FF - I like your plan. I would certainly like to learn of other spots, walk in's fine.

Hope that we can all put something together.

Up to Mason Lake this weekend for a little R & R - perhaps some nivvie cutts from the ponds in the woods.

FF, Yes I agree with Micro Bum that the walk in lakes would be fun. Also lets keep on M.B about getting a 2wt. Zen can teach us along with you F.F some good flies to tie.

I was wondering if you guys are up to taking an old man along. One who knows how to keep his mouth shut.

I have no problem with that, as Zen will have his shot gun with him.

Hey Trout Breath - be kind! Picked up the 2 wt today and have the reel on order - so there....

Old Man - Would be a pleasure to have you join us on a trip.

Details to follow....

Wishing a good weekend to all of you.

Sorry BONE HEAD, Good where did you get it at? If you came over here to Bellevue you shouldve stopped by. You will _hit your waders the first time you catch something with it.

These two weights that you keep talking about.How long is the rod. Just thought I would ask.

At that store in Bellevue just north of the mall. I would stop by but don't know where you are....

8'-6", plan to load it with a 3 wt.

Mine is a g lomis gl4 7'9".

Mine is a 7'9", full flex Orvis. At first they feel like a toy but then.....I landed
a 8-9# Lahontin with it couple months ago and lots of 2-5# bows too.
I like it for chronomiding. Has great feel and won't snap light tippets so easy!

Heck now I don't know if I want to come. My lightest stick is a 9' 4wt. I feel out of place with such a big stick. But What the heck. I fish mostly rivers,so I feel that I have the need for bigger rods. :p

Old Man - Bring the 4 wt! I generally fish a bigger rod - 5 / 6 wt. I just wanted to get a lighter rig for some of the smaller streams. Don't let TM call you a meat fisherman with a rig heavier than a 2!

I don't worry about him. He sounds like all blow and no show. I also have a 7'6" 4wt. And I caught a 21" long steelhead with it. What a blast. Smaller rods are fun,and my main go to rod is a 5 wt. Love it.

Micro Bum, All I can say back to you is Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah.

Fishing Fella, looks like I have 2 weeks vacation
coming up in the begining of march. So i will be coming over that way for some early spring fishing
