Wearing a brown trout themed  buff pulled up over your face, and matching  fishing gloves cuts down on the glare so your Maui Jims work better. Do Jim Teeny wannabees fish integrated heads? I thought that was his big thing to reach the perfect level. Guys out west call him the ultimate snagger. It's pretty accurate that many use his techniques of nymph fishing and lose the drift, even though he's very adamant about the use of glasses.  I used a few of his  lines in the salt, but they were way to thin and coily for my purposes. Interesting read. I never thought about people on the SR  utilizing his methods. Just figured it was put on weight til the drift stops dead and drifts no more.  Get a new camera, please.
 
 

I now have Full Day off tomorrow and Work in saturday, ...,

My steelhead buff just arrived in the mail yesterday. Now I can really look like a fisherman on the SR. Unfortunately my gloves are on back order till after the new year. I'll only be a want a be till then.  

You'll have to stay out of the fly zones. I just thought of another Teeny/Altmar parallel- His famous nymph is pretty non-descript, sparse and all one color, kinda like the ever popular winter stonefly. Jes sayin'...

It certainly shouldn't frighten them away.
 

Tonight there were fewer fish and a few more fisherpeople. I managed 1 hook up of a bright chrome steel right at dark. 2 jumps and it was off. Till tomorrow.........

Good luck, Clint, I'm hopin' for you. I'd be happy with a few steel jumps .

Great Clint.
Sorry but I was to beat up and thought I was going to meet Chartist so was at the hotel eating a burger and fries with gravy and not getting a free beer!
 
Speaking of which.
Yesterday walked from Pville to DB's backyard and back trying to find chromers while staying away from the sight fishers.
 
Then.
They say walk up to the UFZ.
Its easy they say.
The fukc it is I say.
 
Arms are still sore but still nothing gleaming for me.

come on 2b, you walked from Pville to db's but the UFZ was to much ? Heck even Jack finds it a wonderful stroll on the banks .. You took a wrong turn somewhere..
 
I put 8 miles on foot in the woods yesterday covering about 1/2 of our hunting property.. Hope to visit the other 1/2 this weekend with friends, not charts 

One thing I know it's definitely easier than the hike I took the day I went to the DSR with Tuna and Fichy. That was also at a double time pace chasing flashlights that weren't theirs you talk about FUKC when I caught up to the lights and it wasn't them. But I did get the full tour of the DSR though.
