No problem I know how it is tried to split wood today ended up trading a horse for three guns there gonna be for sale soon or trade one is a antique I want to clean it up before I sell it

Still waiting on info tippet getting a few offers locally but nothing I'm sure of would like to know about your 357 if you want to pay cash 400 i guess and it's yours

good job guys when you coming back to the eleven point

interested in the 357 send pics please if you can't send pictures just the facts of the gun would be fine.

are you using your normal camcorder strapped to your chest or a special type of camera that would be a great device to have when recording your on fishing trips by your self thanks for the idea keep em coming

Trade my marlin 30-30 in great shape barely used thats why i'm getting rid of want to trade for hand gun 357 or something of close caliber have the scope base to go with gun

It's never a waste of time in my eyes I'll have to prove that to myself before I make the decision there no big fish in that hole but I'll have wished I didn't go when I fall in the water at 20 degree temps I'll have plenty more post as the winter pushes on anybody no where to find some ice studs you strap on your boots can't find mine guess I have to get some new one's alittle 2 mile hike isn't gonna keep me off the water this snow season

about half way between turners and whitten I hiked it the day before me and brian fished took the dog out looking for early deer sheds theres a big rock bluff on the right where I'm standing with a point over hanging the river alittle I climbed up it and took the picture was a magnificent view from there you could see down into the water gonna go back there when the water clears up and at noon so I can see if theres any big fish asking for my attention

well it was another day for me I was at it again started the day with gonna take the boat out and after a broke boot string and a trip back to the house before we got in the water it turned into the decision to just wade fish below turner's we hiked down river a little ways and both had a few light takes and jumping fish that lead to spit out hooks we moved on down a bit and started to even the score on lost fish to landed fish all though we didn't catch more then ten fish all together we didn't cover much water and moved quite slow in these temps you don't chance getting wet or at least I don't slow sure steps in high water you can end up on your rump in a hurry we caught fish on white minnow patters - white bead head rubber legs - white marabou jigs lots of weight to get down fast which also led to lots of lost flies for me today for me it was a Nice cold day to be out at least the sun was sinning for a bit tomorrow may be a different story pends on how much snow we get tonight if any if i will be able to make it to the river one downside to fishing the eleven point this time of year is steep hills on the only roads to the river which normally means impossible to get down and back up in snow or ice unless you want to hike 2 miles mmm thats always a option where's the studded ice cleets ? The Ghost Angler

everyone have fun i'm not going to current stayed home where there isn't a soul at the river gonna save the funds for crane next weekend happy new year may everyone catch the fish of a lifetime this year

I have a Mouser 98 action thats been barreled to a 22-250 and sporter stock shoots 1 inch groups at 100 yards so I say 22-250

How recent is that picture and where was it at I was thinking parkers access

been thinking of packing the camp and the negative 40 sleeping bag and staying the new year there for a few days my self I just have to see how I feel in the morning been up and down all night might be coming down with something I hope not my goal was to be fishing when the clock strikes 12:00 and hopefully a fish on but I will be fine with casting a fly somewhere

Nice job Wise wish you could come out and Play 2morrow maybe next time Tito

come on down Grif and we will sail the eleven point like pirates bring your eye patch and sword

real simple size 8 or 10 3 x long bright pink egg yarn black thread can be weighted or unweighted with silver tungsten bead or not depending on water levels I like one thats heavy for fishing deep and one thats meant to be fished with a dropper or small split shot for shallow water think woolly bugger lose the hackle just lay the yarn over the top of the hook wrap so you make some nice even spaced lines about half way down the hooks bend and cut leaving about a 1/2 inch of yarn hanging free and thats it

Made It out today in the drift boat for the first time since she had arrived water level was at 1470 cfs when we left this morning and I was a little concerned But it turned out to be a great day Fishing was alittle on the slow side (High water) I started the day on the oars and right of the get go Brian picked up a couple goggle eye and small mouth when then switched and brought another small mouth to the boat was a nice one not real big just fat and healthy as the day went on with a Bald eagle being pushed down the river in front of us we had it pretty slow going we picked up some trout here and there and brian landed a nice 17 incher Me and brian spotted two nice fish and went after them for about a hour switching places I was finely able to get her to take and had her on she didn't put on much of a fight maybe late to spawn but looked healthy I got her in to about five feet and as brian reached in to Net we all No what happen next Hint the reason for no picture any how we pushed on catching a few more then hitting the ramp at turners over all I great day to be out Fishing almost all fish were caught on a white marabou jig the weight gets it to the bottom fast and looks like a drifting minnow under water works very well in high water the big girl was picked up on a extra heavy weighted stonefly with a dropper fly a call THE PINK

Cold and windy is the truth the wind has been out of control lately I'm going out on the Eleven point with brian 2morrow hope the winds lay low sounds like you had a good time in the wind anyways keep a eye out for my post it could get interesting drift boats 1600 CFS sounds like fun take care Phil

Christmas came early the elf brought it via F350 dually all the way from Idaho Falls,Idaho Now if only I would have asked for good water levels I could be taking it out for a spin oh and Brian Sloss Not be sick when we do have good water levels It's ok brian I know you had the swine you must have been bad did you get coal hahaha he did also bring me a new sage flight fly rod in a 9 ft 5 wt and sage 4540 reel complete with backing and 5 wt rio line santa has good taste this year Now if I could just use his sleigh to get home that would be great

what day you planing on heading over to current river I would be glad to join you if I can

Merry Christmas To all and I hope you have a great and safe day with your travels In case you don't already know theres a spike in water levels due to heavy rains just doesn't seem like we have gotten much of a break with the best time to fish being now for some of us If the snows start falling soon there could be trouble for all our creeks and streams lake levels are up and most streams were hit as well the Eleven point was not back down to normal levels from the last flood and was at around 825 cfs before it the rain started falling now it has gone above 2,200 cfs once again and with no hot air to remove the water and strickly counting on run off it will be awile before we see normal levels again since the eastern rivers are still swollen there no place for the eleven point to dump out quickly just be sure and check you water levels before heading out for the new years fishing trip I had mine plan and now I must find a different stream as well if theres ever a time to try a new smaller creek for the first time this may be it since slighty higher water doesn't affect them as badly and can even make it easier in some I think I gonna make my first trip to crane if the water levvels let me well once again everyone have a Merry Christmas and safe travels to all on there journey through the packed road ways Tito DeGiosio

Any info on this old reel would be great I'm sure it's not much but I have never seen such a thing before it's made of steel has a clicker and made in the USA stamp on the reel No info on the reel seat on the rod was gift by my neighbor something to hang on the wall but it deserves to catch atleast one fish before it takes it's place on the wall of fame

Now to finish my post I was able to downsize my photos so here are the two that made the Picture book
