Brand new to the forum and figured i'd post here even though it seems the fishery is about done for the year. Broke it the brand new Compass with Roger at Siltcoos/Tahkenitch this year and had an absolute blast! This is my first kayak and it is just amazing. I love the design and simplicity! Unfortunately I only hooked a couple of coho and was skunked in my 5 outings on the lakes. I got to meet some cool people on this forum and look forward to next year! One thing on my mind now................winter steelhead!!
