THE FALCON HAS LANDED - flygoddess - 05-04-2006 [size 1]Just got back from my initiation in to the Guides of Falcon's Ledge. We were ruffing it[cool], here was my sleeping quarters right next to a huge kitchen with everything anyone could want including an ice cold fountain machine with root beer, lemonade, pepsi, etc. The Lodge is surrounded by 6 ponds loaded with huge fish (which aren't that easy to catch by the way, but I kick a$$) Plus rivers very close like the Rock Cliff and the Strawberry; It was fantastic and the big fish was 26". I caught so many fish I am ready for the customers. They treat the guides like gold up there so you can imagine how the guest are received.

And some people have to work for a living. [] What was your choice of flys? Noticed that you are listed under the guide directory at Falcon's Ledge. Looking at the guest photos of their catches, it looks like a fun place to fish.[/size][/green][/font] [signature] Re: [Dryrod] THE FALCON HAS LANDED - flygoddess - 05-05-2006 Thanks Dry Rod, it was unbelievable. I was using a black/white chironomid at 9' and a black/red at 6' (double rig) and they were hitting both. I was also using my quick release indicators but with that 10' rod I really didn't need to. You can see the indicator off to the side in the bottom phot. A green copper john size 18 on the rivers.

I do agree that it looks like a very rough week of training though.[] Congrats on the new job.

Give or take a few 100.[/size][/green][/font] [font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]Here is some info on your 5th picture down in your post. What I can't tell is what kind of fly you used.[/size][/green][/font] [center][/center] [center] [/center] [signature] Re: [Dryrod] No mystical powers - flygoddess - 05-08-2006 That's pretty cool! I love that camera, it fits in to an Altiode box, the ol' man got the waterproof one (same features).
