Feel That Again

[TylerHoffman]

Climbed on the ole crusty rope wrench for the first time in a while. Felt pretty good. The sycamore is almost 110'. I plan to fish out of it during the upcoming trout season.

Awesome man! Looks like a sweet spot to fish too

That spot looks very familiar Tyler. Where is it?

Nice vid, that does look like a great spot to throw the flyline in. It may just be my opinion but would you think about adding a second loop on the base anchor. Those single wrap chokers scare me, a little slack in the line and all I picture is those things sliding up the tree 5 or 20 feet before they grab again. Just my humble opinion.

Its at the shepherd damn in camp hill pa. Its part of the yellow-breeches.

i don't think twice about 1 loop. A great climber from my company showed me this configuration. My rope was 200', i wouldn't have had enough rope if i took another loop. I do sometimes go around the tree a couple times to use up rope if i have a lot left. But yeah i see where ur coming from

Sycamores are awesome. I like to think they are designed to be climbed single line because of how rough the bark is at the base for a base tie off so it can't move. Then it gets textile friendly in the canopy for ur tip. But thats just me.

Hey! were you warming your fingers there at the end?

Haha. No, it wasnt too cold that day. I remember Aaron saying how hot the bone would get descending 60' that fast, that was about 105' and the bone was still touchable.

What's that fast ? Three edits don't count. cool tree to climb I love me some sycamore. If you wanna feel the heat you gotta get more syca

i had to trim a lot to get the video to end the same time as the song.

 

[monkeylove]

I keep forgetting your in SE Pa. Don't forget about the Harrisburg and Oaks Sportsman shows for all that may be interested.

 

[TylerHoffman]

when is that?

 

[monkeylove]

They are both in February. Harrisburg is 7-15th, and Oaks is 26-March 1st.

 

[TylerHoffman]

What is the oaks?

 

[monkeylove]

Oaks convention center. Oaks Pa. It's out towards Limerick nuclear plant, give or takr.

 

[TylerHoffman]

O okay. Odd I never heard of that

 

[monkeylove]

There is also a Fly Fishing show in Lancaster Feb 7th I think. Google that to be sure if that is of interest also.

 

[oldoakman]

ML' do you flyfish?
Tyler, the Breeches is a sweet stream for sure! Now, you will need to hang a dead groundhog out over the stream around about the first of May and after a few days the fishing will be incredible! Just make sure the hog is inconspicuous or the fish warden will be a little upset with you.

 

[monkeylove]

Yes I do Oak, not as much as I would like. Even when we are on the boat I usally have the fly rod in my hand.
