I didn’t participate in the tournament, but I heard that that the winner of the Holdover Tournament didn’t catch a single holdover. I realize that this is supposed to be a fun event, and primarily a fundraiser, but perhaps its name should be adjusted slightly.

Jimbo’s post right above yours gives a detailed description of the site, including how to find it and where to park.

Great to have you back as VP of Fisheries, Jimbo. If you need any help, all you have to do is ask.

If you need help locating the Summit, just go to Google Maps and look it up. But it’s really quite easy to find. If you drive down River Road from Sattler, it will be on your right before you get to the Ponderosa bridge. There’s a big sign that’s hard to miss.

There are usually three stockings per season. If I remember correctly, the announcement is usually a week or so before the event. The last couple of years, the first stocking has been a double load of fish, so it lasts longer. But, you don’t have to stay for the entire stocking and, if you do, you’ll be done by 1:00 pm or so. You’ll learn tons about the river, its fish, and angling techniques at a stocking, and it’s a lot of fun.

There will be an announcement on this site before the stocking.
By far the best scouting trip would be to attend the first stocking. By doing so, you’ll help the river and the organization, learn where all the leases are, and get the chance to talk to a bunch of fine anglers.
I’m not sure if this is what you’re asking, but you can just copy it and paste it anywhere.

If you’re learning to Euro nymph, I wouldn’t worry about the fly. Use a size 16 natural color Walt’s, on a jig hook or not (it doesn’t matter), with 3.5, 3, 2.5, and 2mm beads, and then worry about what really is important: perfecting your drift.

I had the same problem with an earlier version of Korkers with BOA. The ones that I bought last year open very wide; wider, in fact, than my Simms boots.
Alex
Great observation, Scott. I couldn’t agree more.

Still haven’t gotten mine.

Not yet.

Good stuff, Jimbo. Let me add a technique I use to revive fish that don’t seem to be quite ready to swim away on their own. I got this from Ken Tutalo, a guide on the Delaware River in NY, and it makes a lot of sense. Position the fish in the net so that it’s facing upstream and near the surface of moving water. Now, with your free hand, churn the water upstream of the fish. The idea is to create a lot of air bubbles that flow down to the fish’s face, giving it the oxygen it needs to relieve its hypoxia.

I’ve been using the studded rubber soles and they grip very well on the Guad. I have felt, and studded felt, but the studded rubber soles have held up for over a year now.
