I snapped my okuma Aventa by holding onto the blank. I was trying to horse in a snagged branch and I couldn't reach it by hand. I pulled up and my rod crack in the middle of my 3 piece. I was using 10lb main and 8lb leader.

Breaking a rod sucks

whenever i get snagged if there's no way i can reach it. i just cut the line. saving your rod is much cheaper than saving the hook, leader & line. Thank god for warranty. I snapped a fenwick eagle GT 2 years ago on a snagged branch.  got replacement in no time.

I was pissed, luckily for me I had a backup rod in the car, but it took 3 months to get my broken rod back from warranty.

Not sure how much its worth, but its an automatic fly reel, you press that lever and it reels in for you.  Its an antique, thats for sure

Well I got back from the East Tribs late last night. I was down there arriving Thrusday near midnight and fished for the better part of the time, minus a nap Friday.

 

Landed 3 and lost a few more. I stopped keeping track.

 

The first was a Chinny Hen on the Beads from SteelheadBeads.com and some Brown Roe from Mike at Fishheads.  Wasn't as big of a fight as I hoped but hey.. They're the swimming dead.

 

Cherry popped on the pin

Moved onto another Trib after a since all I could see was Sammies.

Some one pulled out this monstrosity I could not take a pic.

Same place, I met a few guys, Tyler, Jessie and Paul. Tyler and I both hooked onto a Coho so we were both pulling it in at the same time. He's a lurker on the forums but will be joining up.. So Tyler.. lets see it.

Nice looking coho

The next day BuzzKill joined me here. Not a whole lot of action there. Its nice to meet members of the forums.

 

Saturday my last day, I made my way further west in the East Tribs.

 

I ran into Fishing89 and we fished for a bit. Water was crystal clear and the fish were spooked. I got the tour of the creek and then we parted ways.  As I was making my way back I hook onto this little fattie.

Can't compare how they fight to the boots.

 

Lots of fun. Now im back to work next week after 10 weeks off..

Went out to a west trib, not a lot of action. Lots of dead fish and lots of people. Saw some guy walk up to the side of the river, strip down to his underwear, build a tower of rocks, stare at the sun while eating a banana, take his underwear off, and go for a swim in the river. Left after that...

Busted out the CTS the other day hoping for some steel.  

Still tons of these around.   -_- 

Never used the rod for salmon before, but it handles them pretty well in my opinion lol.
