This is an Orvis Battenkill 3/4 fly reel, and weights approximately 4 1/2 oz. I think this reel would be a good match for a 3 or 4 weight fly rod. Asking $140, contact Robin at flyfishsearun@yahoo.com

Curious if anyone could share an opinion or advice on what to look for in a 1-person cataraft or similar floatie. Something suitable for local lakes and easy rivers (like the St Joe). Light enough for easy loading and pulling through shallows, but up to the weight of a larger angler.
Thanks
I have two Buck's Bags pontoon boats that I've had for years and they still look like new. The frame on a Buck's is made of stainless steel, so it's a little heavier, but stands up to any abuse you dish out. They are very agile in the water, and faster in the dead water than some other designs.

After seening Bruce Freet's presentation on Thursday I'm thinking about applying for the lottery for a Smith River trip for next year. Would anyone be interested in also applying/putting together a trip?
I'm still working but can be pretty flexible on dates I think.
Feel free to contact me directly if you are interested applying for the lottery.
Sorry Tim for not responding sooner.
Absolutely! I know there are a group of us who have put in the lottery for several years and maybe our luck is ready to change.

Hello all,
I found a fly wallet on trail near a small creek leading to the Skagit on the 6th of this month. I made a post seaching for the owner on the Skagit River Report Facebook page, but did not have any replies. A good suggestion was made by Bruce that I post here as well. Is anyone missing their fly wallet?
If there are no takers it will be donated for the Christmas auction. Who knows? Perhaps the flies contained within will be top secret dynamite for a future salmon trip. Hope everyone is having a great fall!

Just testing out this improved feature of our website. If anyone has any comments, please feel free to chime in. Share Info has been a great tool in the past and hopefully, it is even better now.
FYI, all the old posts were brought forward with this change so we shouldn't have lost anything. If you notice anything weird, please let me know.
Phil;
Nicely done! New to sharing comment, and maybe too wordy in my first trial. Pete's club fly-tying course yesterday instructed by Carl was great! Hope to entice a Coho with the Starlight Leech on upper Skagit tomorrow. Ron

Going fly fishing at skagit river at riverbend sandbar Thursday. Concrete river guage at 14.64 at 945 pm Wednesday.
This is excellent for fly fishing, caught 2 between 430 and 5pm. Fish started rolling at 4pm. Will be even better Thursday with falling levels. Mid 14's allow wading out further and increase ability to reach proper seams.
drive north past Walmart, then turn left driving past Wells Nursery and Ettera/Smith Nursery and take turn on Riverbend road north to dike. Park below levee gate, hike about 120 yards west on levee.. Walk down to level before willows. Look for Swihart gray and white shack on north siide of river. Take a steep path thru willows that I have tied a white rope with three loops on to sand bar. Fish here.
When I look over what Robin is showing, I wish this sort of thing was available when I was buying rods and reels. Robin has a good sense for value in the way he makes the descriptions☺️.
