when I was a kid, one summer I lost a fiberglass fly rod to a car door or trunk lid on five consecutive weekends while preparing gear for the day's outing...Dad was patient, and figured I would learn to lean my rod against a tree someday. Thank goodness, the bamboo fly rods that preceded this phase survived.
Losing flies is nothin' when you have that history.
Heading to the Salmon river this weekend..."the River of No Return"
btw, a 6X black flash bugger is my favorite for evening fishing the Henry's Fork of the Snake if inclined to fish a sinking tip line for the lunkers next to the fast current. I like your bugger pattern.

If you ever fish the Teton River in Idaho, try the "rusty spinner" in fall evenings - 18-21

Here's my 8X flashabou bugger:
Good for anything that ails you.
Never broke the flyrod in a car, but snapped one that got caught in a tree.
Funny thing was, I took it back to the store and they gave me a new one.
It's been a year since I've tried any spinners or Adamses, but once I'm all stocked up for the season on my buggers and crawdads, I'll move on to the 20-22 dryflies. I almost need a magnifying glass for them.
Blue dun.

Thanks.
Of course, this was my BEST catch:
Is there any doubt as to the reason I married this woman?
BTW, that picture isn't a morning shot. It was taken at about 6:30 in mid June on an 88 degree day in Indiana corn country, right after a rain. There was no fog anywhere...except on the 55 degree water. It was eerie...it's hot and humid out, but you'd get this cold shiver as another bank of fog hit your neck. Later on, it became nearly impossible to fish because you couldn't see 15 feet in front of you...

Dont you get covered in bites when fly fishing?
Interestingly, not very often. It does depend upon how much hiking we have to do. A bit of deet doesn't hurt, either, but out here, the bugs aren't as bad as some places. Also, in stream, there are so many preditors (dragon flies, etc.) and such moving water that skeets aren't a big problem.
I do always wear a hat, however, and not just because I occasionally open my loop up too much. Ticks and lyme disease are an issue. If I'm hiking in deer country (and now a days, most of everywhere is), I add a bit of deet to my neck and arms along with that hat.
