Very cool video Ryan! Not kidding, last night I was just watching the show and saw your name pop up, had no idea! You're certainly doing a great job and I can't wait for the new episodes, it looks like you've got some pretty good guests coming on.

Nope, these reels are actually meant to be put under the rod for some reason, kind of an odd design. Let us know how it goes Drew!

Nice one B!

A dead bull moose in algonquin, on the bottom of the lake.

You aren't the only one, my head isn't feeling great either. Still had a good night, watched both hockey games, had some steak watched a movie and finally hit the sack around 1.

Just a hook and split shot but tipping jigs works too.

Remember that big speck I got and that other that Chris B got, and all of those little guys? They were all on worms!

Should have said, Sutton isn't going to be an option this time round, but I certainly intend on doing the trip some day. Right now I think the tree is top of the list. Can anyone think of someplace better than Yellowstone for dry fly fishing in the Americas?

I wouldn't say that. When I was asked this year what I liked I responded antique fly tying books...

I'm looking for some opinions on the yearly fishing trip for next year. This year we went to Montana, the year before BC and the year before it was Calgary. We're considering doing Montana again next year but if we can come up with another option we'd like to shake things up a bit too. We can go just about anywhere in North America (although Argentina is in the back of my mind). The target will be trout, any species doesn't matter but cuts, browns and brook trout are my faves. We're also looking for a river destination, not too interested in lake fish. So where is your dream trout destination?

Looks like you're missing an 8 there Bri cool story!

Just a heads up I may not be able to make it, but I will try.

Certainly makes sense, just was surprised to see it.

Anyone else think the goby thing is a little weird?

First off nice one leafs! Just caught the last few minutes on the radio but it sounded like I missed a good one. Now did anyone just watch what I did between Florida and Washington?

If out east (ns way) they're really easy, they don't get big but they're fun.

With any luck I'm going out Sunday morning as well, will be on the hunt for some troot!

30 feet is a shooting head, basically a very heavy piece of fly line that has the weight of a full 90+ft line but in a much more compact package. It's great for distance and big flies/heavy tips but sucks for presentation, that doesn't matter much for streamer fishing but if you do intend on fishing dries it's less than ideal. The maxima he's using is just a nice stiff mono, you could easily go up to 40lb for running line if you decide to go with a shooting head system.

Leadcore goes for 30 bucks a spool, I can get a nice smooth casting poly leader for much less

Ummm, where are you fishing? An 8wt may be a little overkill depending on the size of lakers you're talking about. If you're just talking smaller back lake lakers around here I'd consider a 6wt. And for the line I'd look to see if you could find a Versitip system for sale (they retail for around $160 but you should be able to find one cheaper, DO NOT skimp out on line, it is by far the most important part of your setup) that way you get all of your lines in one and save on an extra spool/reel. For a rod I'd look towards Echo or TFO, both make very good starter rods, again you could look towards something used. For a reel take a look at an SLV as suggested or even a Flystart from Ross.

I'd just like to see some more shows that are focused on fishing....
