I thought the name was well suited for me because an essential part of any fly fisherman’s wardrobe are waders and good wading boots which are typically lined with felt soles to prevent slipping on the mossy coated rocks of the river bottom. The Seoul is from my heritage of being born in Seoul Korea, a place that I would love to return to and fly fish for trout, specifically Cherry Trout! My grandfather was an avid outdoorsman in Korea: hunting, fishing, raising livestock, farming, and I think I get my inspiration from him. Thanks Grandpa…we miss you
Nice report and pictures. Maybe we will meet one of these days. I don’t think there is that many Korean fly fishers in Washington.
Hi Paul – nice site. My parents lived in Seoul for a few years as ex-pat’s with FedEx. Looking forward to meeting you.

Very cool site! The name Felt Seoul is great. (To Paul Chu’s comment) I find it is certainly is unique to be a Korean fly-fisherwoman too!
Keep practicing and getting out with your boyfriend. The only way to get better is to fish more. Good fishing with you, and good luck with your fishing endeavours.
Hey Paul, came across your site while surfing through WFF for some info on fly fishing. Been a gear fisher my whole life and recently had the desire to really pick up fly fishing…and never put it down! Anyway, great blog and photos
Paul,
Great site. I have fished Dry Falls every spring for the last 20 years. It is now starting to fish better after several “down” years.
Question: I currently fish out of an 8 ft Buck’s pontoon but am considering looking for a small 10′ pram so I can fish with my son.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Sterling
Thanks Sterling,
How old is your son? Is weight an issue? Where will you typically be fishing? There are some options in prams but I would recommend either a welded wideback Koffler or a 10′ Smith Mahoghany pram. Two different materials but depending on how you plan to transport and lakes that you’ll fish will determine the recommendation.
