    yup, disappointing for sure but a lot better than watching the boob tube or fishing a-holes to elbows on stocked lakes....When where you guys up there?

    hahahaha....i would have done a cool spiderman move if i knew u were taking a picture lol This is what happens when......

    A) all you know is how to (somewhat) back cast

    B) when you've already lost $25 in flies

    C) your too pissed to retie (another double rig) since you just tied one on like 5 f*#@^n minutes before lol...the tiny midge dropper is the "reel" biatch

    D) or all of the above and your just paying your dues,,,,,,and thats why i stand before you (in a tree), dues aren't cheap these days....VOTE NO on 29 lol

    ...too bad you didn't get a picture of that tree bending in half

    Wow POM. That's a lot of flies. Well I guess it depends on how much you paid for each fly. If you spent an average of $2 per fly then you didn't lose that many. Still a burn out none the less. Based on what you wrote in A), I take it that you didn't do much 'roll' casting? Roll casting is essential when fishing in brushy streams. It's a really easy cast to learn too and and eliminates any line going behind you when casting forward. It probably would of saved you from losing at least 1/2 of the flies that you lost.


    Hey FISHNVIC

    I think you need to give the Brownie you caught twice a name...

    Two bucks? I was paying $3-4 on some of the larger buggers / streamers at the last fly shop on the left in bishop...the one built into the tree. Not as many as it seems, still frustrating though...i hear ya on the roll cast, just started workin on it this last trip.

    There's a tackle shop in Lee Vining (the only one I can think of) and their flies were $1.25 two years ago and then I found this place...

    www.theflystop.com So far, it's the cheapest place I've found. I'm thinking of trying all the places you mentioned with a Tenkara rod this year.
