fly fishing hawaii:

two handed session with “pops”.

 

not much to report.  greg “pops” of the nwff crew just got a tfo deer creek 8wt. switch rod and wanted to get it dialed in.  so i grabbed a bunch of lines and a couple of rods and headed for his pad.

 

when we popped the rod out of the box at the shop.  it looked and felt really nice and proved to be on the water as well.  we threw some different heads on it and greg ended up happy with the airflo scandi compact 540gr. with the airflo extreme running line.  both the 510gr. and 540gr. scandi compacts worked great.  the airflo extreme running line was nice.  the only minor problem with that running line is that the ones we got did not have an oversized loop on one end as the ridge running line that i have does.  i rectified this situation by making a loop out of some old fly line and looping that to the end then using that loop to connect the different heads.

 

a real chillaxing afternoon with greg, eugene, and didi, and a great way to start december ‘09.  look out fish... pops is ready to pound.

 

”rookie of the year” eug pays some dues the hard way.  throw the fly in the mangrove... you’re gonna get wet.  actually i threw it in the mangrove once too trying stupid things, but greg was nice enough to go get it for me.  eug, your reign as rookie of the year is almost coming to an end.
