Caught a 19 inch rainbow out of Muir yesterday, released it, went to cast again, and my rod was gone. If anyone snags a TFO rod with Okuma reel, it's mine... I guess back to spinning gear for a while until I save some money...

Wedged rod beside me on my float tube as I always do after I netted the fish. Tossed the fly onto the water and took my time reviving the fish. The rod must have slipped off the side without me noticing. Had a sinking line on too so there was no hope of the line surfacing for me to grab. It really sucks.

Go back to spot three trebles 1'apart above a 1-3oz sinker drag bottom till you get line or rod get a buddy with a camera and float a grid go now time is of the essance.

I agree. The deepest spot in Muir is 18ft, the rest is on average between 11 & 7ft. Dropped my Sage in Muir once, got it back on the first cast with my sinking line. Get it quick before someone else does.
