[cool][#0000ff]You like those baggy blue pants? Yep...tubing wet. Whenever the water temps get over 65 to 70 we prefer to go without waders. Kinda cool when we launch, but by the time the air temps pass the 80 degree mark we are feelin' fine.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I have a couple of pairs of loose fitting drawstring pants that work well both for yard work and tubing wet. They do not bind, like jeans often do, but they soak up the water and I gotta carry some extra weight back to the car. We usually go into a restroom and change to shorts or other lighter appropriate wear for the ride home.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Wipers? I have caught stripers up to 40 pounds and white bass over 3 pounds. They both hit hard and fight well. However, it may be purely subjective, but I think that pound for pound the hybrid (wiper) fights harder. They are really a lot of fun, and there is a growing group of fly flingers that target them with white ZONKERS and other shad imitating patterns. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The wipers in some waters, in other states, reach weights over 20 pounds. Their maximum seems to be about six or seven in Willard Bay and it is rare to take one over five pounds. The fish I caught were about average. I ain't proud. I gladly accepted their volunteering to play with me and to come home to dinner. Mighty fine on the table, I might add.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Yes we have no more linky thingies. The results of the "test" are still being reviewed but it is not likely to ever become an issue on a permanent basis.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Careful about saying too many nice things about TubeBabe. I am finally getting her partially trained after 27 years of awful wedded bliss (anniversary on the 15th of this month...went fishing). Of course, if you listen to her, she has been doing all the training and I am just a poor student.[/#0000ff]
