  1. stumbled upon this thread...i am working with a guide to figure out if the river will cooperate on a day trip outside Portland OR. My practice with the last 4 guides has been to give a real analysis of my casting. I can get it out to 50 feet, accuracy, inside a 10 foot ring. Tell me what should I expect. Generally the honesty makes it better experience then he knows what to expect as do I. For the OR trip, he suggested spey, drifting flies for steelies. I asked is that a 1 catch for the day or are we getting a lot of fish. My spey casting is beginner at best as I do a little trout spey casting in a pond to try and get better. If presentation and accuracy are key, I may wait to try this. Not sure its worth the $$$ to go for 1 steelie, using a spey. Still weighing it out, hopefully the weather will cooperate and the river will be fishable. Next alternative decision would be 2hr drive to the Deschutes River- again not sure I have the time or energy for that trip.
  2. would you split? or would you take 130?
  3. I am in 20817 (Betheda) and shopping for a friend. Pls suggest a mtg place that is convenient.
  4. Someone should be all over this. I love my 106 as well. I would buy this if I had room for it. Glws
  5. I pulled the trigger on a maxcast 8ft 8wt fiberglass from ali express. $100 total + extra tip quality of the rod is pretty decent. going from a sage saltwater rod to a fiberglass is way different. rod bends from tip to handle which is to be expected from a fiberglass rod. Will give a try later this week.
  6. Rehoboth. Back bays and rivers for stripers on fly. Tog flounder w spin.
  7. I stand to fish so I can see having a shorter rod to deal w high sticking.
  8. Bought a cheap 8wt glass rod to see how that works
  9. Picked up an old Towne 10'6" powered by minn kota. Doing a bunch of back bay fishing for stripers etc. How do I land a fish on a 9ft rod without breaking the rod? I was lucky on this one?
  10. Running update: GM from office calls. They are not going to charge me to come out to snake the drain. (Yay!). The "senior tech" says that they want to get a 3 man crew out to jackhammer the concrete floor, fix the pipe at $450/hr (time and materials) + $180 fee to rent the jack hammer. The fun seems to be just beginning.
  11. Update talked to corporate, they are saying that it is in the franchisee. No return call from the GM yet.
  12. I called a national brand plumber with franchisees to come out to snake my main sewer line. The tech put a camera down and saw a blockage right away. He put the larger 2 man snake into the cutout and fed it down into the sewer line. He cleared the blockage. All good right? No, he called me saying that the snake got stuck. After 3.5 hours he could not the snake out. He was able to see the end of the snake cutter head by sending video camera down the lavi that was downstream of the cut out. He said that the snake cutter was clean, not roots attached or bound up. He ended up cutting the snake and leaving it in the main stack. He called to tell me it was my fault for the snake getting stuck and it was on me to have the repair of cutting up the concrete basement floor and replacing the pipe. Need honest opinion on this event. Is this on me or him?
  13. Great call. Lots of classes almost every Saturday through May.
  14. Longtime DE surf fisher, first timer with car suitable for driving on the beach, now first time holder of full time surf plate. Googan questions: 1- there used to be a class for teaching proper method of driving on beach. Yes-I know there is a video and to air down, etc. But I would spend the time in a class to avoid being the a$$ that gets stuck. 2-i live in Rehoboth during the summer and while I bet that i will rarely use the drive on permit to fish during the weekends, I prefer the flexibility. The good thing is that I will be 1 less person taking up space and definitely will not be partying on the beach. Unfortunately for those that did not get a permit, I am using a scarce resource but at least when I do use the drive on beach, it will be for fishing. Any suggestions for drive-on practical things etc appreciated.
  15. Appreciate the suggestions. Gives me some ideas.
