The Cure for Spring Fever
On the South Fork of the Flathead in MT there's a limited harvest deal for Bull trout, I don't know all the details... Where I caught this guy, It's Catch and Release only. That bull is back in the water for some other luck angler.- MKotur325

The Cure for Spring Fever
Managed to get out Yesterday for a couple hours after work, and managed to find a few. Deep swing with a big streamer, stripping the fly back toward me, watch the fish miss the fly the first time; See a second flash in the water, feel weight... Definately didn't expect a 25"Bull!! Turbulent...- MKotur325

Let's pick me out a new knife.
My every day use "utility" knife is a benchmade with S30V Steel. The edge tunes up nicely and holds as well as I'd ask a knife that cuts primarily cardboard and tape... At that sort of price, I'd take a look at Skyblade knives. My hunting knife is a Skyblade Bison 4. They are made in...- MKotur325

Leupold CDS scopes
That's definitely reasonable. I generally figure 5000-5500 for the areas I hunt, and 40 degrees ave temp. -

Custom turrets?
There are a ton of options out there for ballistic calculators. G7's is ok, JBM is a good system, Applied Ballistics is what I use, "Shooter" smart phone App uses the same ballistic algorithms as Applied Ballistics. Both are good. If you can, use trued BC data. Bryan Litz has done extensive... -

Custom turrets?
I Carried a shooting mat on one of my precision rifle courses. I don't typically carry one while hunting. For me, the shooting mat I have is far too bulky to carry in the field. One thing I do carry in the field, is a rear shooting bag filled with lightweight plastic beads. That has been... -

Custom turrets?
The craziest for me was laying staring at a 6"x12" plate at 642yds with my .308 with about a 15mph wind screaming right in my right ear and having the spotter tell me, OK, hold 1 MOA high, no wind.... 642yds, 15mph crosswind... and the spotter says "Hold 0 wind" Band, Ding; Bang, Ding. Get... -

Fierce Edge
FWIW, Here's my understanding of the pro's and cons's of Carbon wrapped barrels... Pro's: Lighter than full steel construction, Stiffer than full steel construction, larger diameter faster cooling Con's: Carbon wrap is more brittle than steel, the barrel is far easier to damage or chip than a... -

Custom turrets?
This could not be more true. Learning to judge wind can make the difference between making you look like an expert and making you look like a complete fool..... Wind at the barrel is important, wind at the target is important, wind everywhere in between is important. It's also important to... -

Custom turrets?
Jamen, This coming from someone with a fair amount of experience shooting targets at longer ranges (out to 1200yds). A few things I can add to the conversation. $200 is Seriously not worth it for custom turrets. If you can get out in the badlands this summer. Shoot in the area you think you... -

AR 15 Optics ???
I'm a pretty avid AR shooter, and while I'm no expert, I have a Noveske Ares II with an Aimpoint M4 on it. I love my aimpoint for work out to about 100-150 yds. Mine has a 2moa dot in it, and while I know the rifle is capable of accuracy beyond the groups I get. I tyipcally shoot groups about... -

Pike on the Fly
A little inspiration for those looking to find some Pike... It's a long video, but definitely worth the watch. BTW... This guy does take at least 1 50+" fish... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyL7bYUTpT8- MKotur325

Pike on the Fly
One other thing you can try. Instead of just a strip retrieve, you can use the rod to twitch the fly and strip in the slack. IME this tends to impart a bit more action to the fly than just stripping the fly.- MKotur325

Pike on the Fly
I can't provide too much info. I've take exactly 1 pike on a fly... it was about a 23-24" northern out of the Bitterroot river in MT last October. I don't see anything wrong with an 8wt for pike. I took mine on a 6wt... The suggestion's I'd have, use Big, Flashy flies. I caught mine on a...- MKotur325

Custom Rifle Completion
2 Quick questions, Who made the rail for the bi-pod mount? That's a pretty nice looking little rail? Also, How do you like that Bartlein tube? I'm debating calibers and such for a custom build and failry certain that it will use a Bartlein barrel in a #3. How's it treated you so far? Thanks!! -

The Cure for Spring Fever
I didn't see many fish on reds, but the bows that I caught were all stacked up in at least 3.5' of water, and where they were, they were thick... I would imagine that more were on the reds than I could see, but it looks like things are in process for the rainbows. I didn't catch a single brown...- MKotur325

The Cure for Spring Fever
I May be cured, but It's probably best to keep fishing... Just call it preventative medicine, that's covered by insurance, right?- MKotur325
