It's a maybe for me, I'll let you guys know soon though.

Haven't seen any of your choices yet but All is Lost was a great film.

Has got to be feet, but we should be able to choose which we want if it's that easy for them to do.

I'll bring the canoe

Even if there were streambead rights granted, could you not still float over the bed legally?

Wow, those are some big tubes you're throwing!

Anyone else want scuds then? What about buggers?

Yes, but this was just my iphone, make sure you're in shade and get close lol

In. Where this time?

Yup, that's what I got the fish on as well, stonefly nymph.

November was an exciting month, when you're forced off the rivers because your waders are freezing solid and you can't take it anymore you know it's going to be a good winter, and it started off that way. However, by the end of December it was starting to get old, freezing rain, horrible driving conditions and already having to drill through a foot of ice, it wasn't shaping up to be as great a winter as we'd hoped. Now we're still ice fishing and running vehicles on the ice in late March, I was just about ready to buy a one way plane ticket to Mexico, but then it finally happened, temperatures climbed above zero and the ice is now on it's way out. Open water means only one thing in March, STEELHEAD! So this morning at 6am I loaded the car and headed east. Today I was fishing a new to me trib, there was a supposedly a lot of open water on it and the water levels looked good as well. I fished a few pools down, in the process foul hooking one fish before it got off and seeing several others, this was getting me very excited for the day. At the next pool I spotted a small ice flow along the shore and found this fish resting under it, she actually let me touch her tail and didn't move, which was strange because it didn't appear to be spawned out and looked fairly silver. This pool was perfect in every way, it had 2 currents meeting, it was long, deep and had a good number of large boulders in it, but I could not see or hook one fish in it, so I packed up and started following the trail downstream. Before I had passed the tailout of the pool I noticed that just before the pool turned to a small rapids it got very deep and had a large boulder right at the end which was just begging a fish to rest in front of it. I figured it was worth a shot and proceeded to make about 10 drifts to this area before hooking this brute, my first open water fish of 2014. Downstream a ways I did get a savage hit from another fish but missed the hookset, next time! Here are a few random photos. This guy was a VERY welcome sight. And a couple rod shots. I hope to add to this report this weekend or next week

Oh, Jose, look in the announcements section, David Chong's post. I already emailed him about a booth and promise to bring lots of stuff

Size 8 black marabou streamers!!!

Lol I wasn't running it, just thought if promote it on here. But I agree that it was a great success and I can't wait for next year!

How do you tell the difference between a tornado and fog though? LOL

I agree with Dundas, a used pair of simms will last you many years. I've been using mine almost 3 years, and am a lot rougher on them than I should be. I did once have a seam issue but Simms fixed it for me no charge

Hey, if we have to go through the ice at least it will level the playing field!

Hey Brian, I was up there last weekend and the one before, we were on about 25" of ice (complete guess there), most of it was good but there was about 5" of white stuff on top. I did see a pickup out but that ice is deteriorating fast, check before you go out.
