Kayak Fly Fishing / Fly Reel Recommendation

« on: July 14, 2018, 05:06:44 PM »

Can anyone recommend a $100 or less fly reel for a 5 weight quality rod for stream trout. Getting back into fly fishing after I was gifted a sweet 5 wt 9 foot Winston. Just want something middle quality but the choices are mind boggling. I fish mostly small overgrown streams. Thanks for any suggestions.

General Talk / Canine Medical Advice?

« on: March 16, 2015, 12:58:53 PM »

Any dog experts out there?. My pit mix has a weird foot infection on all 4 paws with blistering, puss, bleeding and swelling. Had her to the vet 4 times in 4 months. Tried antibiotics, creams, soaks, betadyne, socks, Epsom salts. The last round was steroids. The steroids helped immediately, but when they ran out it's back worse than ever. Poor girl's almost lame and she lives to run. I'm afraid it will overwhelm her immune system. Vets said they haven't seen it before. Just thought I'd ask if it's something anyone has dealt with, or maybe someone knows an effective home remedy. Getting ready to make another appointment. To make it worse, the Vet keeps charging me for office visits in addition to meds for the follow ups. Thanks for any advice.

General Talk / Sweet

« on: August 15, 2014, 12:17:15 AM »

Still on the kayak fishing road brothers. After 9 days at Albion, then to Tomales, then almost 3 weeks at the Cove, I have already fished with a bunch of the brotherhood. It has been an insane adventure involving lots of salmon, halibut, sharks, abalone, octopus and numerous other sea creatures and a crazy shark killer named Kiet. Writing from the back of my truck at Jonezs house. Havnt seen a bed in over a month. Squeezing the marrow out of the summer. I hear the bite is on at Bodega........... Remember to feed the homeless (and give them tray baits). Life is good. See you out there.

Fishing Tournaments and Events / Albion Side Bet

« on: July 15, 2014, 07:46:23 AM »

I will be collecting money for the Albion Side Bet this year, along with Tigerfish if he shows up. The bet is for the heaviest fish from the RCG Complex (Rockfish, Cabezon, or Greenling). The Side Bets are a 100% cash payout usually between $500 and $1,000 depending on participation. The winner will be paid at the tournament banquet. I will be in the campground Tuesday and will take bets anytime until I crash on Friday night. I will be in a white Tacoma with Utah plates with a brown Hobie Adventure. I will make a tour of all the camps on Friday taking bets, but only once.

- $10 Entry Fee

- The heaviest Rockfish, Cabezon or Greenling (RCG Complex )

- DOES NOT INCLUDE: Ling Cod, Salmon, Halibut, Wolf Eels, Monkey Face Eels or anything else Period.

- Fish must be caught with hook and line and be officially weighed as part of the tournament.

- No bets placed after Friday night.

- 100% cash payout tournament day.

Good Luck,

Ed

Pending Eric's approval, I will be collecting money for the GS8 side bet again this year.

I will be in the campground in a Black GMC pickup at the Utah Compound near the yak wash area on Wednesday and will take bets until I crash on Friday night. I will make a tour of all the camps on Friday taking bets. Anyone on Team Squidbillys can take your bet. The group decided last year they want to see a dead fish to win, so please don't argue the merits of C&R fishing with me. Good luck Brothers and Sisters........

General Talk / Utah Wapiti

« on: September 22, 2013, 12:32:43 PM »

Polygamist Al came along on my elk hunt this week in the Book Cliffs, Utah. A cow call decided Bubba's future yesterday morning. He's a 6X5. They were rutting and he had about 20 cows with him. The last shot is of Alan expressing his joy over the thought of packing all that meat out of a deep, dark hole. Life is good. Wapiti tacos are on the Gimme Shelter menu in 2014. Later Brothers.............

General Talk / More Mountain Lions

« on: February 04, 2013, 10:21:19 AM »

For those of you that had doubts about the multiple mountain lions from Washington in the other post. These lions are in Bear Lake, Utah. There were 7 cats togther. It is my understanding that these groups are likely one mother with her 2 years of multiple offspring. Cool.
