Purchased this Simms L2 wader @ Basspro in the states last Feb have been very happy with it until what I noticed today (see attached pictures) have heard about great simms provides and wonder if both damages are covered by warranty or not Thanks in advance

Nice catch! No, dont tell me you were using bagged red double-Jensen eggs!

with the same amoutn of stuff to be carred, what I have noticed is that front-type chest pack hurts my neck and back since the weight pulls forward whereas the 50/50 distribution type of chest pack allows front/back counter balances each other. (that is why i LOVE my 50/50 chest pack) Started looking into fanny pack because of the hard warmer issue I mentioned and wonder if the weight is going to tire your body in a whole new different way gave up on fishing vest b/c it gets soaked in the rain unless I get myself a G3 vest ..

Just bought myself a new fishing jacket with hand warmers and noticed my Wchest pack is in the way of my hand warmer .. wonder how you guys bring your fishing stuff I have got steeleheader stuff along with camera, wallet, falshlight .. it gets pretty heavy once everything adds up

Nice! Just when I thought no one goes steeelheading anymore since it has been pretty quiet for a while What was the size of the jig you used? I found even 1/32 is too heavy for me

My secret trick: keep hooking into/fighting fish .. my feet stay harm for another hour or two after each fight ...

thanks for the input was looking for comments from people who have used it

found this rod while surfing the net last night It does not look like any of the Sheffield rods I have seen in stores Any comments on this rod? http://www.fishusa.com/tackleshop/catalog_...B6BA46&fx=1

Why do I have to work today ..

You are the man!

I cant believe even Mike gets skunked once in a while. Those fish were very LUCKY

Saw pink/white micro-tube Powerbait at Labaron today and wondered if it works for steelheads .. Kinda also curious to know if there are anything else can be used as trout bait

Wonder how the fight is with 15' long floar rod + centerpin ... haha

The only place I have seen people fishing for rainbow is the dam Does anyone else know other places?

I have tried those Berkley Powerbait pastes in various color and yet have not had any success. Not to mention the nasty mess when taking it off the hook

Mike should have his own fishing show ... "How to make other anglers jealous!" NICE!

Drove by Meaford area today and noticed some anglers were fishing Checked regs and could not find Big Head River under any extended/all year sections I thought it is closed for rainbow/salmon .. isnt it?

Going to have a businese trip to Indianapolis & Cincinnati entire next week any tackle shops for steelheading worth of a while to check out? or better yet, fishing spots/rivers/places to get information Thanks

I have already booked my vacation to go steelheading based on weather forecasts which have been rarely accurate ... what a waste to my vacation! The weather forecast said it was going to rain 15~20mm on Tuesday so I quicky booked Friday off to find some steelies ... guess what ... It says it will not rain until Saturday ... Needless to say, I cancelled my vacation and am now hestitated to book Monday off ..

do you bad single eggs?

The only we did not try was the Live Nymph mentioned by Solopaddler. Just wonder where you can buy them .. or catch them? By the way, how do you cure single eggs so that the juice does not come out when the hook goes through? The singles I river-water-cured lose juice as soon as being put hooks I am still depressed from yesterday even though we are getting rain right now

My fishing buddies & others were fishing at this hole (7ft+ deep) with 20+ rainbows swimming around non-stop yesterday. None of us got a single bite from 7:00am to 6:30pm when we called it the day everyone was frustrated including two experienced fly-fishermen. We have tried everything in terms of sizes/colors/batis/flies including 2/4/6-lb leaders and still got skunked. What else would you try?

But the swivel might get caught at the bottom and might end up breaking my main line with my float ... by the way, i usually use 3 feet of leader, which means my bait will be 3 feet above the bottom ... is it ok?

How do you centerpin guys using those fartificial floating salmon/trout eggs such as Gulp! and Powerbait so that it stays down rather than floating up from the swivel?

It is over already? I thought it has not started yet!
