Bass Cat works great and you can rig it up like a back pack when you are hikeing.

Thank you all!!!

Back from the trip...It was tough at first. Fished the up/ owens with a buddy who is good . He had 8 i had one..My biggest problem was I spent most my time with tangled tapered leader. Cant catch if your rig is not in the water. Hot ticket was a SJ worm with a Hares ear dropper.

The dropper rig was hard to cast so I went to a single SJW still tough for me.

Fished up by long ears alone first evening...single prince nymph hooked a big ole brown but coulded land him, he was down deep shaking his head and then unbuttoned. Wow was my heart pounding.

Most fun was upper twin Mammoth in the tube. Could see 3-4 lb alpers swimimg below me.

Fished with another friend who is good. 18# Parachute adams with hares ear dropper....dry dropper combo. Hard for me to see the dry as indicator. Buddy had 15 fish. Most small 10-12 inchers but fun.

Landed my first couple of fish on the tube. VERY FUN.

Was able to really do some good casts from the tube.. You gotta cast. hate the kick and troll deal. I think its counter productive. My fins make a " prop wash " and your flys are right in it. Not good . So I would position myself like on a weed line and cast its length at a 90 degree angle and slow strip the weed line.

Sorry no photos had camera problems.

Now off to the lagoon to fish plastics in the tube.

Very visual report. Cool!
You know if you want to get this Fly Fishing thing down, you need to jump in with both feet.
Everyone I know that goes back to spinning never fully gets the Fly Fishing down. They just get frustrated and go back.

You could learn to master that two fly set up and less tangles. Plus I think you will dig the fact you can catch those fish in the sub surface area that spinners and baiters never get, not to mention the best in the world....A DRY HIT!!!
