Agreed. North fork composite is the shiz. And now that loomis is owned by... shimano? idk whoever took over loomis, the customer service sucks now. I was talking to petosa and he told me the same. good luck at skook. Fish the fields. The hatchery is nothin but boot coho. The fish are still movin up

I know lamiglas rods have lifetimes but not all unless something changed and yeah loomis rod returns take FOREVER! I brought one into defiance last spring and took me over a month to get it back.

gonna get them really moving. the best part about the skook is if your down low and you find a spot where they have moved into and held, you can just whack a bunch with no people around cause its such a small river

Actually, i was there last saturday. I was just fishing up too high. Nice little river,and I'll be sure to head back again sometime next month. It's just been tough getting out, cause the truck we have gets about 8 miles per gallon.
