Spent a couple hours throwing bait at the coho in the Wallace this afternoon. Was pretty low, but fishable. There were two steelhead just chilling behind the coho that wouldn't bite anything at all. Another fish kept sharking through the cedar hole. Still a few coho swimming around.

Left and went up to Reiter for an hour to see if I could play with some steelhead. Caught a medium little dolly, back it went and had one massive take down, hit my gear like a ton of bricks and snapped my line. Turns out my guide insert had fallen out, didn't realize it and it tore up my line. Bollocks. Meh, plenty of fish in the sea. Getting ready for the sportsmens show now, see you guys there tomorrow!

Nate, I have a rod with the same missing ceramic eyelet insert. It didn't seem like something that could be repaired, (without complete replacement of the guide??) Is it infact possible to replace the ceramic insert?

Yea, it needs a new guide. On;y way I've ever been able to fix it in the past is to use JB Weld but that just makes the rod look ghetto. Gonna have to go over to teds and have them put a new one on.
