BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Heh, you guys are nuts. Right now the water is HIGH everywhere ... but running clear, and the fishing has been pretty good. I'll be heading up the day after tomorrow to scope it out and see what it's looking like, but all three major stretches of the S. Platte are looking good. Just mind your footing.

Got a PM asking about gear, so I'll talk about it here ...
First off, you guys don't really *have* to bring anything. We've got waders and boots and rods and reels to set you up.
If you want to bring your own gear, I'd suggest 8'6" to 9'0" fly rods in a 5- to 6-weight setup, with floating lines (weight-forward is best).
If you're thinking of buying gear ... well, you can always talk to me about that when you get here, heh.
Waders and boots, again, we have, and you'll need, but if you have your own I suggest breathable waders with felt-soled boots. The non-boot-foot kind are the best.
Leaders and tippet we'll be using are 7'6" 4x to 6x for the most part. Some fluorocarbon tippet can help if the water's flowing really clear. Flies will be little - 16 to 22, and I have a ton, so don't worry about trying to fill a grocery list before you get here. If you have some small caddis, pale morning duns, and midge patterns, feel free to bring 'em, but you can buy some from me with no worries.
... if any of this stuff doesn't make sense to you, have no fear, I'll show it all to you when you get here.:yes:

Water temps should be warming - we're seeing a lot of caddis activity and they're usually only active when the water hits 44+. It's just high.
14 boots are not a problem. If you guys want to PM me your height/weight/shoe size, I can start pulling waders and boots ahead of time, but that's entirely optional.
