I use Dry Magic for anything with natural materials and Aquel for things with synthetic!

Can I ask why u move so far away from the hole ur fishing when landing ur fish? Not referring to ur larger fish but even with ur smaller fish in the first and second sessions ud move maybe 30 yards out of ur hole to land ur fish. Im definitely not trying to tell u how to fish cause ur levels above me and im well aware of that haha just seemed to be a lot of time lost simply because of the amount of time it would take u to get back to the hole to get line back into the water. Also can i ask what size freezer full u was fishing? What an epic day on the water. I only dream about days like that! Thanks for taking us along Bob. Was such a pleasure to watch this one for sure. Great video to say the least!

Thanks! Looking forward to it.

Always is!

Thanks, gotta get dialed in for whats next!

It was fun, and good practice for whats to come!

Thanks! =)

Agree, that it's far more important!

On the 10' 2wt Ideal Nymph, I'm throwing a 3wt SA Amplitude Trout Taper.

I'm mixed on the Broder, It's nice to secure something in place, but it's a liability in swift water above your knees if it's sitting on your belt. I'm currently playing around with a multiple attachment point system for different wading conditions.

@@TroutFlies -- You are having a similar experience that I'm having. If I'm wading in deep enough water (water is rushing through my net) it actually will pop out, and the sticky material ended up coming off. I had to glue the piece to my net. But it popping out is still occurring.

The biggest Brown I've caught in Utah is from the Weber as well.

@@TroutFlies if you don't mind sharing where at on the Weber?

@@NOODINSRESEARCH This was about halfway between Wanship and Coalville.

@@TroutFlies good stretch of river. I caught mine just above the railroad tunnel at Taggart

@@TroutFlies Shh. Keep it down fellas. You want another Provo river? Cause this is how You get a Provo.

It depends on your budget, but the Diamondback Ideal Nymph in the 10' 2wt is hard to beat for performance/value. It's more like a 3wt in power. I'm running two of them as my main competition nymphing rods.

Yeah was a fun one.

Yup! Hopefully I'll be able to do well at the upcoming comps.

We're just friendly and they like saying hello.

Do you do a bounce rig? or just a classic nymph rig?

I have one! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYDMammqrpV3otE

@@curtiswiser3257 This is a European style nymphing rig.

Not too bad... just another Weber-y day.

I'm not. The colorful ones are standard on the trouthunter tippet spools.

Just got to keep at it! It took me a bit to eliminate a lot of unproductive water types.

I fish a lot of my baitball rig on a parabolic, which uses a booby similar to a Minky. I have to play around more with the FABs.

You will soon with the new stillwater gear!

I caught 30 and called it to go elsewhere and try something different.

Nope, It's still dirt.

Thanks!

I'll have to look into it.

Yeah it was a fun day. It's always nice when you figure it out.

Thanks Steve. I think there was only one other craft on the water.

I have a Cortland Braid core comp Euro nymphing line to a 4x piece of Umpqua butt leader material (their new product) to a pink/yellow sighter with one blood knot in the middle and short tags. My tippet was 5.5x Trouthunter tippet.

I'm not sure I'm going to make the Green Drakes this year unfortunately (at least on the MP) because right when I think it'll peak, I'll be in Idaho fishing a couple of competitions. Generally after the water drops it takes a week or so for the summer bugs to even get started. I would bet it would start down towards deer creek next week and would peak somewhere in the second week of July. Are you gonna get out and try and chase them?

@@TroutFlies Thank you for the reply. I am hoping to get out but have a consulting job in Las Vegas. I wish you the very best in the competitions. Let us (your fans) know how you do in the competitions. Best of luck. I am sure you will do great.

😂

@@TroutFlies good fish for real though! If you’re in Utah too let’s hit the water sometime!

I've been meaning to get caught up on emails! I'll try and get to it today.

Feels good to get back on some moving waters

Thanks!

Not bad for a couple hours. The other half of the day was pretty good too. Thats for next week though.

Should be getting really good soon!

Always a fun little spot.

Thanks! Seems like most of the streams are coming down! About that time!

Just hit up a few areas near Spanish fork and it was definitely turned on!

Yeah, kind of a weird time of year here where all the moving waters are in run off, the mid elevation lakes are getting too warm for trout, and the high mountain stuff is still just opening up.

Thanks! I've worked hard and put a lot of time on the water to specifically work on different things to get better. Still have only been fishing stillwaters for a few years.

I haven't caught a Koke at Strawberry yet. It'd prolly take a type 7 line which I do sometimes, but usually I'm fishing over top of them. I haven't caught a Musky on the fly yet, but I did throw my streamer up tight to the shallow cover when at Scofield hoping for at least a follow.

I use Rio's Premier Midge Tip in the 3' Intermediate. The 6 will get you down a little more and a little more quickly. The 3 is better for shallower water and fishing slower.

It's on my to do list for sure!
