Carpenters are almost as cool as professional cattle hoof trimmers

What's the total thickness of the inserts? The threaded portion of the hardbites are a smidge over 10 mm from the base to the tip.

Hell I'm still fishin' RPLs, maybe it's time to upgrade to XPs

I resemble that remark

Which could be why my catch rate is so gawdamned poor in friggin lakes

I'm lazy, double or triple surgeon's loop

Just jerkin' your chain Peter. I have no idea because I can never find my tube of Aquaseal when I need it and end up using Marine Goop. It just peels off after a season. Sorry

PataGucci has a good name and boot but in spite of some people's cakeholin' in 20 yrs I've never gone wrong Simms. Last pair lasted 7-800 days and I routinely walk 5 to 10 k back to the truck

Why? aquaseal smears and patches are battle scars and good mojo, wear'em proud, christ I haven't washed my wardell deluxe's in 7 yrs

Guess I'll find out by this fall, I bought a pair last Sept.

The Provincial Building in Cochrane or TU office in Calgary and then one supervised outing on Quirk Creek

Fiberglass, probably cast a line weight lighter than marked using modern lines. If it were a 8 foot or shorter 5wt Parametic it would be a highly desired rod for a vintage rod nut but being a heavier longer rod in good shape maybe 50-60 bucks on evilbay maybe 75 on a good day. Make a helluva bass rod though, the warmwater boys seem to like them.

That would 'splain the photoshop Lucy

Noce Feesh! I almost cheat to catch one or two like that but............. Don it was good to a voice to the face. It does extend the season but the learnin' curve is steep for a commited small stream OFer but we're havin' fun.

Just got off the phone w/Jim and I'm signing up. Definitely a step in favor of native species over introduced, too bad it's too late for a dozen or so creeks that I'm personally aware of.

I have a strong alligator clip with a small lead weight attached. Good idea, beats the heck outta usin' my hemostats

Cool Lack of wave action ain't much of a problem down here however whitecaps are. Plus I see a fish finder purchase somewhere in my future...

Is it just me or are the lakes friggin' slow right now? 7-8hrs over 2 days 3 potholes from the prairies to mountains usin' all of my limited stillwater knowhow for a grand total 2 dinks released, 2 quick LDRs and 3-4 short strikes. :$*%&: :$*%&: :$*%&: :$*%&: :$*%&: :$*%&:

Too bad, methinks there may be a pond or two more around that's got it this spring. Oh well there may be some Montana fluvials around with the high runoff if I feel the need to get some thyme smell on my hands.

Never mind the 4 weeks off..HTF do you get 4 days in a row off??

or Maxima Ultragreen. Tried building my own leaders but I found the abundance of knots beaucoup irritating over factory tapered leaders. Nowadays I usually use furled leaders

Better quit fishin' if you're feelin conflicted sunshine, bloodsport is a bloodsport whether it's c&r fishin', fox huntin' or bear huntin'.....

Yeah but did you hafta leave by a different gate?

Must be the same sumbitch who winched out my anchor posts because my pasture gates were strung too tight...

quacking good fish them blackfoot rainbows
