Watched the SB with two of my fishing friends. We talked of our favorite places and had a great time. I just got my next 3 year Idaho licence.
Be on the lookout for WA plates on our favorite streams!  :cheersmate:

Picked up my 3 year too.

Had to re-do the hook keeper (actually had to bend the small metal strip that's the base ) and front of the cork grip (loose) on the Heddon Black Beauty, Haven't been able to fish it till now.

How do you like the BB? I had a chance to get one a few years back and kick myself because I didn't.

In the 2F taper (mine) it's an excellent 5 wt. If you can get one, do it. Look for pre- 1950-ish rods, they'll have the orange tipping.

Started thinking ..  I'm at that point in life that I have enough fly rods. It's now time to fish them more.
