The 3” Perfect Fat Body kinda rides nice on the Para15…

Adirondacks today 31* early am 45* pm low and slow. Boiled 2 pots of water ingesting in various ways to keep me warm enough to stay on the water for the full day.

[Short Tip]

RP, great looking outfit with the 3" wide. Classic. Nice 111B as well, keep those pump seals nice and fresh! I should have figured you were a stovie too. I just posted a pic of another old stove in the tiny water stalkers thread.

This week it was a 6'8" FET Fairy with a 2 7/8" Perfect. Fun day.

Sixties 8' 4 3/8 ounce Battenkill and an early Screwback CFO IV produced a nice Delaware rainbow on a dry fly. Fish focus not so good with hands shaking from the cold!

Been playing golf virtually everyday since May finally got out to fish for my favorite, Landlocked Salmon, had decent luck so far, 2 nice fat males, first one I kept, I’ll release the rest, caught first one with a #6 dark olive zonker, Heddon 9’ 2 3/4 GBG, second one #6 grayghost, 8’6” Orvis Shooting Star Orvis SSS anti reverse reel

What a nice rod.

True Action 7633 with upgraded Wright McGill reel seat, Heddon 310 loaded with DT4 peach. Got a few rainbows here in the Finger Lakes on pink squirrels

Short Tip,

Yes, Stovie as well… Only a straight Optimus 111 alla kero so no volcano, left my B at home this trip. As you know you have to stay fresh on those pips. Also had the 123 with the Sigg Tourist, but opted for the bigger gun for this boil, but used the Tourist pot.

The FET 6’8” with the 2 7/8” perfect makes a nice kit. I will have to remember that for my 2 7/8” if I can ever hunt down a FET ( can’t seem to) or if more likely I make one. I also picture them with Dingleys in my romantic mind a lot.

Cold and the Catskill plus dries does cause a conundrum for the hands with the size of flies preferred by the sippers. The Battenkill and Screwback hand in hand!

[Short Tip]

Nice! Jealous of your kero 111, it's the right fuel for the model. Either version is a great stove. Ditto the 123/Tourist combo, etc. etc....

We now return to your regular programming!

I finished out my season here in Minnesota with my Heddon #20 8’0” 1 1/2 ferrule. It’s a very nice rod. Now to fill holes in my fly boxes.

[teter]

Very cool combo, and nice fish that must have made it worth the cold.

Nice! I have that beefy Heddon as well, and it's perfect for that size fish.

Today in California's Sierra region -- a new stick, 6 1/2' DT3 Chris McDowell, perhaps the most accurate small stream cane rod I have. It's tippy as the general description goes, but has a progressive flex too. I think it's a great design, and the casting is like fishing a laser pointer. Today on this tight stream with short casting I uplined to a DT4 and it was nearly perfect.

7-foot Orvis Battenkill
I haven't fished this one much. Serial number is 19643, built in 1956 by Skinner and Reid, 11/64 ferrule and weighing just under 3 1/2 ounces. I think this was catalogued as a 6-weight, which I believe would have been WF-6. I fished it with a WF-4, tossing #18 BWO's on a 6X tippet. A 5 would have been fine.

This is what I will be fishing through early 2023

Darrell,

You always seem to come up with some nice pictures with icicles this time of year, I have always looked forward to them. Along with your choice combos that you cobble together for the Sierra’s, it’s like shopping in a magazine for Brookie equipment .

Lee,

I would say your puppy is the correct tool for this time of year, beautiful.Happy shooting! I miss the wonderful dogs over the years that my hunting pals have had, such great partners and a joy to hunt behind.
