Just thought I would post a few of my favorite pictures, post if you have some favorites. Love Cutties on dries. Leftovers from tying orders. Dads tackle, still in occasional use.

Favorite fishing buddies

Arctic Grayling a delicate beauty whose iridescent sail-like dorsal fin leaves me awe every time I see one.

Olive pheasant rump / peacock eye nymph with a rubber band abdomen. Sz 10, using a new brand of hook.

Use an old floating line for sink tips because the extra mass will cause line stretch in the tapered end of the fly line causing cracks and your line will be kaput in no time. You can cut 10' or 15' off the end of an old floating fly line and make a loop to attach 10'-15' tips as well. Casts much better. As SilverDoctor mentioned, a Full sink type 6 for the boat is nice to have aboard for when the fish are not hugging the bank and are glued to the bottom, which is more often than not.

Thanks SD, I needed to verify my email in order to directly link.

Last year I broke the same section on my crosswater and a couple months ago i emailed redington if it would be covered under warranty. I made a warranty request and emailed them if i could skip mailing the rod and just pay for the replacement piece. They asked for a picture of the damage and ended up waving the fee and mailed me a new crosswater combo kit free. I would send them an email and see what they can do for you.

Great ties

Keel - balanced rubber band grub, Sz 12, using another style of hook from the new brand. There is no barb, the hook point is angled out from the factory. Can't wait to get this one wet!

Cutties on dries....it is the Way. Good to take Dad's stuff out now and again Good shots SD

great photos thanks for sharing

Great observation on sink tips, I have a couple of lines that are dedicated to sink tips, I've stripped the core and done a loop to loop with the core and served over. Runs through the guides easier. Good use for the old lines.

We usually use a type 5 or 6 (10-15ft) sink tip

I do like a floating line with a sink tip most of the time. Makes pickup for the cast easier. It is a good idea to carry a full sink when they are hanging in that lower layer.
