snake slinger,
don't have experience with the west forks, but the wicked toughs are just what they are named, and comfortable as well

Saltiga Z4500- 10 out of 10 stars.Best reel I've ever owned.

Aquaskins Evo2 top- 7 out of 10 stars. Worked good, but durability could be better on the seams.

Red Bull enrergy drinks- 9 out of 10 stars. Picks me up, but makes me pee like race horse.

I forgot about the energy drinks....without them the number of hours fishing would be much less.

I prefer AMP as I like MD.

Started using a Camelbak this year - 70 oz of water that you don't even know is there. If you walk, you'll love these.

New creek chub giant jointed pikies; Catch fish but crack from the water.

Replaced all cotton cold weather clothing with synthetics. Wider comfort range, better wicking, lighter, and the fabric doesn't hold moisture.

Avet SX - nice reel, but the drag came broken and I still need to send it back.

Sufix braid - I prefer this to PP.
