Also, you asked about that jack I caught: I baked one fillet for me and my wife and it was "ok". A bit too trouty tasting though, to be honest. Assuming I get some more in the coming weeks, they'll go on the smoker instead.

Good to know. I wouldn’t mind smoking one.

Just throwing this out there. . . I don’t know if you’re a Sage guy but for a 3wt, the Trout Spey HD 3110 is an incredible rod as well.  I have it paired to a 3 1/2” Bougle and it balances perfectly.

I was a Sage guy (still have three single-handers for trout that I use alot), and while I'd certainly love to try casting their Trout Spey rod, Farbank as a company has kind of turned me off recently with their either expensive or outright lack of repair support for their older models, even ones that aren't that old.
There’s such a fine line between stupid and clever.

Got this 7lb coho hen yesterday afternoon. Super fresh and bright: less than a mile upstream from the ocean. Dinner this evening.

I broke my Beulah 5wt and was thinking about the Winston to replace it. I have a taupo ready for it. Nice rod and fish!

Thanks! You will love the Taupo.  I took two on the last trip but one broke when I was stripping line off of the reel getting ready to cast.  It looks like a click spring broke as well as one of the posts holding one of the pawls.

Testing out the Abel Rove 7/9 (solid frame) to primarily keep as a backup on trips for the 6wt’s. Really nice balance on rods 12’ 6” to 13’:

Unexpected on this little creek. Perfect fish for my small split bamboo! Love Montana!
