golsen: Nice bear. I don't think I'd enjoy seeing it looking at me.
Our SLC pals Jerry & Angie showed up yesterday at 3:30 PM & Jerry & I had lines in the water by 4:30. At 35 f. we had a spring creek to ourselves, but the fish were sulking. Jerry caught a fat 10" fish & then only a couple strikes on our rubber-leg hares-ears & wooly buggers, until I finally landed a nice 20" fish. Then, nothing again, until we froze out just at dark.

Nice Fritz. Temps dropping up there, both water and air must make for persistent work.
Skitch Heads UP!
I just dumped my second pair of Skeena's (that I had to pay the difference to replace my original Water Masters) in less than 14 months that I had been using for my Summer Ops. They BOTH started leaking profusely. After turning them inside out, found that both had the H2NO material delaming thus causing the leaks. Both times Patagonia sent me a gift card for only 70% the original cost. They DID NOT replace the waders with NO questions asked as does Redington or Simms for manufacturing/material defect failures. No more.
Back to my Simms G3's (which Simms replaced due to a stitching issue) & Headwaters as well as my go to Redington Sonic Dry Zip Ups (which Redington replaced due to the original Zipper failing to keep water out). Both with NO questions asked and all I had to pay was the shipping.

Maybe you're too prickly....
Speaking of Redington, I keep forgetting to ask where you fished while out here in the Pine Tree state (hopefully you spent most of your time up CWEST/Rangeley way and not stuck at a desk down at the NAS).

edit: yep, figured you'da enjoyed life up there! still pretty wild...

PERSWIG!!
80% of my tour was spent at the "RTL COMPOUND" . I volunteered for regular stay over "Maint" duty at the RTL so as not to have to return to any, "desk" at NAS. It allowed for lots of free time down at the "lake" and it's surrounding flowing water bodies.

Good Question...

So in the off chance some adventurous soul has been there before me...
I'm headed to Myanmar over the winter break (for 3 weeks) and as usual will be bringing my fly rods.I do a lot of SWFF and will be on the coast for at least a week. I've got that figured out.
But, I'm also going to be inland on some rivers and was wondering if anyone in this worldly group has any beta on FF there. I've caught Masheer before here in India but wouldn't mind a few hook ups there.
This will be my 2nd trip and I'm psyched to do a little warm water FF. Any info is appreciated though I know this is a long shot! Thanks!

Nice DD!!
My good Vet friend and fishing pal was up and we both scored big time on the Upper O over the weekend...
It was 14degs F when we both hooked up. He got the nice big fat hen. Mine was mere 16" compared to his prize.
The following day we went hunting at a different locale..
