Let me check my log ... ok, 0 landed, 0 lost  :) Probably looking at around 30 hrs of spey casting. I could probably have managed the same results with gear  :-[

About 8 hours fished with 1 fish to hand, and another chrome unidentified fish lost (could have been a coho or dolly around 6 pnds). Also got a small dolly to hand.
Hasn't been a bad year in my eyes, I just couldn't handle the crowds to get out more and spent my whole time back with family and friends...

Hope the crowds slow down by the end of Feb when I'm home or I might be done on the Vedder for good...

How about a description?  I have tried a variety, from dead drifted roe flies and pink bunny leeches (pink worm imitators), to pink and purple and blue and black intruders, but no luck yet connecting on the single handed Sage and I always willing to give new patterns a try as I enjoy tying flies almost as much as casting them and hooking fish with them.
