Man its been too long since I have posted here. Been crazy busy with work, moving, squeezing in family and fishing time. And I officially have an ultralight flyrod again after an impromptu visit to Cabelas. They had the 6' 3 weight Prime for sale at $59.99 so it followed me home. Its a "family rod" since my wife was eyeing it up before pointing out the price. Its been on the wish list for a while so I said we'll take it. Then my 6 year old promptly claimed it as "his new fly rod" - kind of like how he claimed my Loomis microlight spin rod as his a couple weeks ago. Kids got good taste at least...
I told the better half we could get twins but she said no bueno this time. Of course if its still on sale in a couple weeks it just may reproduce by mitosis...
Going to take it for a spin tomorrow and throw dries at coastal cutthroat. Went camling last week and fished a stream I have never fished much before. Had a ball and we decided to go back tomorrow. Last week they wanted either big puffy mayflies (even tho its primarily a caddis stream) and small muddler minnows either fished dry & dead drifted like a hopper or tighline swung just under the surface through a riffle like a scared sculpin. So I am loading up a bigger flybox with an assortment of big mayflies and muddlers thus ensuring the fish will want caddis or tricos or clouser minnows
Will also be fishing my 5 weight glass rods - between my wife & son I am not sure how much time with the little 3 weight I will get. But thats a ok. Its good to get them both into flyfishing.
