What are you fishing this week?

[headwaters]

Yeah, ReelPatina, if yo ever need a gilly, please let me know!

[ReelPatina]

Some great tackle there! Wow!
Such beautiful places. Your photos are so nice, feels like I’m there with you.

Too Kind Sir! Only had the phone for photos, but I took notice of the beauty that was around me and wanted to try and capture what I could with the little I had. Some of the water are well know places and other spots I discovered poking around and hiking in off some maps and tips.

Yeah, ReelPatina, if yo ever need a gilly, please let me know!

I usually am the Gilly ( though not much of one), but always open to fishing friends whenever people are around, always reach out!

Not this week but last time I got to go fishing

[NewUtahCaneAngler]

I fished an Orvis 7' 3 3/8oz Battenkill with a Young-made Orvis Battenkill Flyweight and an 8' Phillipson trade rod on the Logan. The weather was great and the fish cooperating with my largest being a 17" cutthroat on the Orvis.





For those familiar with Logan Canyon, the traffic was horrendous with 55 vehicles passing every 5 minutes (I counted twice). Partly due to people taking in the fall colors, the opener of the Elk season, and homecoming in Logan.

Cheers,
Joe

As Teter stated, a Very nice pairing, “As it should be” I would add. Does she prefer a 3 or a 4 on her?

[Short Tip]

Thanks! The rod does well with either line, most would use a 3, I'm fishing a 4 here since I knew I'd be making short casts and fishing pocket water. If you look closely you can see that the Hardy foot just barely fits into the reel seat mortise - It's actually a touch big for the rod. I often use a Leonard 44 or Walker TR-1 which are both a bit smaller with dinky feet. The rod is a dream to fish, Fred T. was way ahead of his time!

Had my first day astream today for the new Tasmanian season. My diaries told me it was too early and they were right. Still, I was able to test whether or not the ageing body is still capable of such punishment and I got to see two platypuses, including one very close in shallow water. Fished my Stone five weight based on a Payne 102. Sorry Dennis, the rod suffered the ignominy of its first skunking.

Had as close to a perfect day on Sunday as one could ever wish for in October-- olives and midges were present all afternoon and I was fishing #24 & #26 patterns, my 8'0" Hoffhines got a nice workout.

[McHull]

You guys our killing me with your Fall fishing posts.
I’m in the middle of packing for a move and have no time to get out.

Keep’m coming.
Cheers

Now THAT is something I would love to see while fishing! As you guys say, "How good?!"

[PT48]

I probably see around half a dozen a season. Always a thrill and always a time to stop fishing, stand still and observe. If I had to have a totemic animal, the platypus would be it.

One of the most curious animals on earth

Went to one of my favorite areas with the 8ft 2-2 Winston (Twin Bridges) 6wt. Morning lows in the teens and low 20's. warmed up to the mid-50's and low-60's each day. Trout not too cooperative, but still some aspens and other trees showing nice color. Am glad to be back in CO.

Teter,

Another beaut, well matched!

[Tom McCoy]

Spent last Sunday on a small creek in the north Cascades with a 7' 4wt Poppy Cane matched with an LRH and SA DT4 + furreled leader. The fishing for small cutthroats was spectacular. I'll get pics next time
