I was concerned about the 8wt. My main rod (the grey one) was brand new I made for this trip. I wanted a 9wt but the place I buy blanks from didn't have any in stock. But I was happy with its performance and I can still use it for steelhead. One guy on the trip did have a fish break his rod. :(
Mostly black egg sucking leech in low light and white streamers/zonkers when the sun was higher. Red, blue, and green egg patterns were working for others in the group.
We were fishing the DSR and the walk to the western end was probably a mile plus. Well maintained paths but still a hike carrying gear. Not much public (if anything) for the first 3 miles. After that there's plenty of options.

Glad you’re back at it. They are a beautiful creature. Be safe and keep hookin
Thanks. Gotta remember I'm not 18 anymore. Falls on boulders while trying to get to a prime fishing spot have more consequences now. 😀
Tight lines God bless...... nice video almost well won't say it 😂
I've got a similar setup a Redington rod with a Ross reel 5wt

Great snagging
An unfortunate byproduct

Every angler needs to experience this. I was up there two weeks ago. Fly only section. I was using a 8 wt. too. It’s amazing
@@Yamom2323 💯I was a little hesitant / intimidated for a first trip so it was great going with guys that have done it before.
what fly were you using? great vid!

don’t think you’re safe too, be oiled up and ready
Dang if your that close to lake that’s a heck of a hike I don’t know where closest public parking would be isn’t it mostly private land in that area?
