Did get OFF to McIver this morning and fished from below the hatchery and upstream.
More hiking than I've done in a while and my knees sure let me know - lots of manuvering over rocks.
Had a small trout on to my legs and it spit the hook and several hits all on a EH Caddis. Only one bush caught for the entire 4 1/2 hours. Left when the rafters started coming though they were all very respectful.
Several bankers out seeing nothing caught by them while I was there.
OFFsprey picked a 12-14 incher up about 20 feet in front of me. Deer nibbling foliage right across from me for at least an hour. Very relaxing time!
Lots of trout in the water hitting the top, just finicky. Saw a few big splashes so I'm thinking steelies hitting a bug on the water.
The rod is excellent! No line snapping at all - got the timing right; very easy to load and shoot line.
May be an evil (to some) Orvis brand but I'm highly satisfied...

Sounds like a great day breaking in the new rod.

Glad ya like the new rod. Sure, they are made over seas but damn little isn't these days.

Overseas kids need to eat too even if they're sweaty!

Good news and information I can refer to while considering an upgrade to my current setup.
Glad you are happy with it!

Woz, I ended up getting the same set up you got at around the same time. Mine was from the Bend store. I am very pleased with it, only had it out twice ( due mostly to being busy with saltwater action off shore). My next goal is to become a mediocre fly fisherman. At the rate I'm going it will likely take a year or two. Congrats on a sweet set up!!

I just won an Orvis Access 8 wt and Access 8 wt reel in their carp fly fishing tournament last weekend. Anxious to get a line on it and cast it. I have never owned an orvis rod, nice to see good reports on how they cast.

Glad you liked it Randy! It's my first Orvis and had no idea but very pleased with it.Sinkline said:Woz, I cast your new rod out in the paarking lot at the Orvis store this morning. What a sweet casting rod she is! Gotta be one of the best rods I have ever cast in that price range for sure..., maybe thee very best???

I'm trying to hit Harriet Saturday morn with the toon and try it nymphing before it gets too hot.
Just saw the forecast and that stinks at 101 F!
Back up will be Estacada Lake at McIver....
Congrats to you too J. Montana! You're gonna love it!

Just tried it out a bit tonight. Very fast, but with the right line I can tell it will serve a purpose (thinking gravel bar carp and long casts into the wind.)
Good luck at Harriet! I might actually bust out a 4 wt next week and meet some guys up on the clack for an evening of trout and bs.

Good people at the orvis store. I have done a couple of presentations there, usually in the spring.
Here is a results post from my blog Randy:
http://carponthefly.blogspot.com/2012/08/carp-acolypse-results.html
My team ("Got Backing!") cleaned up! Fishing was tough, I think only nine fish were caught amongst the 25 or so anglers. I got six, and one of my teammates caught one, so heading into the judging we had 7 of the 9 fish on the board (I think). We swept all but one of the prizes...we lost out on the "smallest carp" prize which was an Orvis Helios! $800 rod for the smallest carp caught! Those guys know how to throw a tournament! Hah...it was really a good time. I hope they do it again next year.

Most of the guys waded...but there were three or four boats as well. It was up at banks lake in WA. The tourny was fly fishing only and prizes were mostly bass on length. Orvis had us all carry a folded up measuring matt and just take photos as proof...it worked very well.
