Re:Tailgater 17 Years, 8 Months ago  
I'm going to be there all 3 days, I've been trying to figure out when the best time for a tailgater would be. The weather gods aren't as friendly at this show as they have been the last few years for the ISE Sacto shows. But I bought a Tri-tip and stuff to make Choc. chip cookies regardless.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN TODAY AS A WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHES THE REGION. LIGHT SHOWERS AND COOLER TEMPERATURES ARE LIKELY TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. AT THIS TIME PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS LOOK TO BE AROUND A TENTH OF AN INCH FOR THE CENTRAL VALLEY...AND AROUND A QUARTER INCH FOR THE MOUNTAINS. A FEW INCHES OF SNOW OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS FIRST SYSTEM BY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING.

WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WILL QUICKLY BE REPLACED BY A STRONGER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THURSDAY. MORE SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. SEVERAL OF OUR COMPUTER MODELS ARE SUGGESTING A STORMY PATTERN WILL THEN DEVELOP FROM LATE FRIDAY INTO EARLY SUNDAY. WHILE IT IS TOO SOON TO NAIL DOWN THE DETAILS OF ANY WEEKEND STORMS...VERY GUSTY WINDS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE VALLEYS WITH HEAVY RAIN FROM LATE FRIDAY INTO EARLY SUNDAY. HEAVY SNOW IS ALSO POSSIBLE IN THE MOUNTAINS.

CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECASTS FOR UPDATES ON THIS DEVELOPING WEATHER SITUATION. IF YOUR PLANS CALL FOR TRAVEL INTO THE SIERRA NEVADA LATER THIS WEEK...CHECK ROAD CONDITIONS BEFORE DEPARTING AND PLAN FOR POSSIBLE HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS.

Hey Phil. it sounds like you need someone to help carry all that gear. I will make the sacrifice and help you carry it. all you have to do is buy me a ticket. I still rember that swig of single malt after we got out of the Madison summer before last at palisades. The best drink I can ever remember.

Definitely need someone to carry my gear, especially all the flies. I have 16 boxes packed! May need assitance on the plane ticket costs, however. I think the allure of the trip was bigger than my ability to fund it! Ah, what the hell. You only live once!

Thought I might have that picture. Is this the sip of Glen Morangie you're referring to?

Tailgater alternative? 17 Years, 8 Months ago  
Woohoo! It looks like I will be going (if Confusion Hill doesn't slide out).

If the weather really is too crappy for a tailgater, how about a breakfast get-together? If there was a good breakfast place nearby, perhaps we could all meet for breakfast before the show starts.

Thoughts?

Guessing Big Tippets & Big Flies in Argentina 17 Years, 8 Months ago  
Phil----I hear you on all the gear; and am guessing you'll use not much of it. My relative experience in Chilean Patagonia has been using a 6 WT 75% of time (5 & 7 WTS the balance)...and very few flies. The Esquel area is one I've wanted to visit; but haven't. My three trips have been further south; around the Couhaique area.

I'm guessing you will not be using 5X & 6X tippets/leaders; predominately 3X; and 2X and 4X on balance. I'm also guessing you use just a few dries and streamers. The dries being foam-bodies such as Fat Alberts and Chenobyl Hoppers and streamers such as Black Krystal-Flash Buggers...all in sizes 4-12. I did not have spring creeks available; you may...so it may discount my guessing.

There may be an occasion when you use a 5X tippet and a smaller fly. I did such on the upper Rio Manuhaules when I felt a need to use a #18 Parachute Adams on a rising Brown. We had great success using dries; so much so we used them 90% of the time.

I'd be curious if I'm close to guessing correctly. I'll look forward to your report.

Good Luck and have an incredible trip.

I love talking fly-fishing. So, if you want some info on fly angling my "home waters" in the Truckee area, do not hesitate to contact me off the board; whether by phone (530-587-7333) or e-mail (cyberfly@cyberfly.com). Please be patient relative to a quick reply; most especially during May-October.

My latest crusade is limiting undo fly fishing guide impact on the Little Truckee River. This small venue is being abused my commericial guiding interests. Consequently the fishery is being abused, IMO, most especially by guides to the detriment of the fishery. Moderation is the key in usage.

During the last two seasons I've diplomatically mentioned to many guides that they should coordinate with others guides so that they minimize impact...it has been to no avail. Some entities are more guilty than others; weather independent or "stabled" (outfitter or fly shop). So I've just started taking this public. Any civil suggestions/comments on limiting guide impact would be appreciated.

For my complete bio go to www.cyberlfy.com; then click-on my photo.



NOW FOR THE SPAM!!

Simply, I'm a fly fishing junkie. In 1984, in order to justify my addiction, I started Thy Rod & Staff in Truckee; the longest existing, fly fishing guide service in the Tahoe area and possibly one of the longest in California. I'm an independent; so the "buck stops with me". I tailor trips to the specific desires and skill levels of the client; no "my way or the highway" guiding.

Simply, experience counts folks! 2009 will be my 26th year exclusively as a professional fly fishing guide in Truckee. As long as I enjoying the interaction with other passionate fly anglers and/or those new to the sport; my service will continue into the future. I also "host" fly fishing club outings.

Encouraged by clients & family I started the Reel School of Fly Fishing in 1996. There are scheduled one & two-day clinics through-out the "general" season; entailing a maximum 3-to-1 attendee-to-instructor ratio. Now, since the season if open year-round; I have a scheduled snow-shoe/fly fishing group-outing during March.

Again in 2010 I will be "hosting" two groups at a private lodge in Chilean Patagonia; located 2+hours from Coyhaique, Chile. The lodge accommodates six (6) fly anglers only. It is located in an isolated river valley (40 minute jet-boat ride down river...no roads). From my past experience in this area, I'm guessing it is like Montana was 50-60 years ago....far-far-away from the "real world". Inquire for specifics, I will be going there every year. I've arranged with the lodge for some incredible pricing for two "hosted" weeks in 2010. Also I can arrange other stays and special pricing...contact me.
