That's cool! I'll hit the lower a couple times before it's over.

Just got off a backpacking trip with eggs. Rainbow and cutthroat action. Erin got an eighteen inch cutty. I can't say publicly where we hiked to.

Understandable, glad to hear you guys got some nice August fish!!

Fishing can be a bit tough this time of year! I haven't been fishing much we're moving our shop at work across town, and it's very taxing to fish after work :(

Hey, you just gave me an idea for a new thread. You'll know it when you see it. Key word will be 'random'. Approach it with caution;)

Nothing catches more fish than flies tied with peacock herl. Jake, what's the type head cement you use for those flies? I use the multi coat thin cement for my trout flies but those hard gloss stealhead fly heads must be thicker stuff.:think:

I use Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails Hardener. That first GBS came out a little goofy but have much improved after that. I used to use some Gloss Head Cement a few years ago but quit using cement all together for a while, then came back to it this year. :)

Hope this helps. Apply evenly in small amounts, in multiple coats over time, rotate if necessary in rotoray vice.
