Gomexus Reel Stands…
We have been using Gomexus reel stands for about 2 years now. It is a cheap and effective way to protect your spinning reels. Since we fish rivers and streams a lot, and there are rocks everywhere, these tend to keep the reels off of the rocks when we set our rods down. We generallyContinue reading “Gomexus Reel Stands…”

Tailwalk Keison Runsback spec * N 56ML Spinning Rod…
After using a Tailwalk Troutia 55L for quite awhile, I decided to see what else this brand offered. Perusing the rod listings, I ran across this rod. I enjoy using Light and Medium-Light rods when fishing streams and rivers because the added backbone helps fight fish in current as well as getting them into theContinue reading “Tailwalk Keison Runsback spec * N 56ML Spinning Rod…”

Palms Pinwheel PFGS-69UL+ Spinning Rod…
First off, I apologize for not posting anything for awhile. We have been having internet issues and it seems that dial-up is faster than the service we pay for. With that out of the way…I’d like to showcase a new rod I recently bought. The Palms Pinwheel PFGS-69 UL+ spinning rod. I like how PalmsContinue reading “Palms Pinwheel PFGS-69UL+ Spinning Rod…”
UPDATE: Simms Flyweight Access Boots…
In the previous blog post, I mentioned an issue I had with these boots. How sand and microgravel were getting into these boots in such a way that I would have to take them off to empty them out. Both footbeds would be quite covered and/or the detritus would pile up under my forefoot, heelContinue reading “UPDATE: Simms Flyweight Access Boots…”

Simms Flyweight Access Boots…the Good and the Bad.
I had high hopes for these boots but ran into a major issue-at least for me. First the GOOD- they fit like a tennis shoe and the traction was far superior to the Simms Free Salt Boot. And they definitely felt less clunky and bulky. I felt more nimble while traversing across rocks and boulders.Continue reading “Simms Flyweight Access Boots…the Good and the Bad.”

My Favorite Picture of Zip…
This picture is not staged. This is how we found him in the tent…a fan blowing on him, his favorite toy being held and fast asleep. That was a long day and we were all worn out.

Fly Fishing Brushy Creek…
I gave the Loop Opti K2 9ft 4wt fly rod a good workout. This is a very easy and forgiving rod to cast and was a pleasure to fish with. Last time we were here we were stopped by a deep pool that prevented us from going further upstream. This time I found a wayContinue reading “Fly Fishing Brushy Creek…”

Fishing Baker Creek for the First Time…
We noticed on our map that there was a Creek that flowed into the Cossatot River about 5 miles down from our camp. Early one morning we decided to give it a go. Upon arrival we noticed it was covered in weeds along the creek bank and we were a little hesitant to venture in.Continue reading “Fishing Baker Creek for the First Time…”

Cossatot River Trip…What Worked.
My Subaru Forester Sport worked great on the trip and we encountered zero issues with it while driving all over the forest via logging roads. The Thule Cargo Box was a last minute addition and worked as expected. It held our Gazelle tent, folding chairs and our rod tubes. The Dometic 11L/3gal water jug endedContinue reading “Cossatot River Trip…What Worked.”
