Looking for Ole Leather Lips

I went to a State Park here in Ohio to fish the Crooked River. I went to a section that hjas a lot of river gradient and sweeping pools. Shes has really changed in over the years gravel bars swept away and exposed river limestone bedrock. I saw lots of bait and hooked on fish cause it hit like a frieght train and never stopped down steam. I had no scales but a lil lip meat on my sculpin intruder fly. I fished my Scott Rod the L2H1157 / 4 lined with Freightliner Skagit Floating with 11.5 feet of T14. I was using olive leech patterns and olive intruder style patterns. The water here is still steep and has amazing gradient even know the water was flowing at 275 cf/s.

I'm stading on a bed of new rocks deposited since the last storm. These rocks are vertically a minimum of 5 feet above where i was the last time i was here.

Osprey Water Reservoir Review

The Osprey 2 liter water reservoir

This reservoir has some well thought out attributes that in my opinion raise the bar. Is it perfect no, but it is better than most. Here is a list of what I have found out the reservoir after using it a few times:

1. It has a backing plate that allows it to remain semi-in-shape as you put it in your back pack
2. Slim profile
3. The bladder does have a rubber taste but goes away after a few uses
4. the bite valve works well and a good draw of water flows from it
5. Mid hose disconnect has a one was valve into to prevent water from siphoning out
6. This bladder is designed for Osprey packs, but it can be used with any back pack in my opinion
7. Filling the reservoir is simple
8. cleaning the reservoir is easy
9. the reservoir has a duck-bill type of lip so you could very well collect water in a shallow water source
10. there are two sizes of this reservoir 2 and 3 Liter

I have only used this a dozen times but right now I do not have any leaks from the folding seal that has a clip that holds it securely in place.
