Speaking from experience?

Hey Journeymancarpenter... Try unspooling a few feet off the end of your line and hanging it end down in a warm place. let it dry out for a couple of days then coat the tip (whatever knot you use to tie on your leader) with knot sense. if the end of your line is sinking, it's either dirty or wicking water up the inside of the line.

I have a couple of the older ones and a couple of the newer ones in 4,5,6 weight. I particularily like how they sit so high on the water when fishing lakes. I'm not sure about the other types but Aaron weighed my 6wt distance taper and it is quite heavy, closer to 7wt than 6. BK

I totally enjoyed this years Expo. I got caught up with some old faces and met a bunch of new ones. Many thanks to all that dropped by and had a look at the Amundson product. BK

Brekkie was great .... Thanks Rick BBT is right, name tags would be great.

If you want to feel really good, come by the casting pool when I'm there. It ain't pretty

I'm pretty hard on lines so durability is also a factor. dry lines: Airflo Ridge in all of the configurations (nymph.distance, presentation) Rio Gold (I don't care for my Rio nymph) I've had very good luck with the 444 clear intermediate sink as well. My sink tips and full sink lines are so old that I can't remember what they are

Count me in as well. What do you need for groceries? PM me and I'll help out.

I'm the same as everyone else, just enough to stop backspin. I do usually tighten it up a bit on still water.

Welcome aboard buddy. Try and behave

Bingo : It's too bad there's no way to prove who caught the fish. If you want to kill it you have to catch including your 80 year old granny who never left camp. BK

I'll take a dozen

I'm not sure that genetics and being mutants or the fertility of the lake etc. has as much to do with the size of the fish as does where it was caught. It might have something to do with the fact that these guys are catching these fish reeaally close to the fish farm holding pens. If they're just swimming around under the pens eating chemically enhanced food they probably grow at a very fast rate. My $.02 BK

Hey Wolfie Like most of the guys above, I'm not a big fan of dubbing wax. If you have a situation where you do need to use it, Try "Chapstick". I find it's not as thick and sticky as dubbing wax. BK

5 or 6 years ago, I was involved in a deal like this. It was called "Hooked for Life" and was aimed at single moms whose kids didn't get a chance to go fishing. It was started at the SL hatchery and ended up on the river. I don't really know who organized it, but the hatchery, Hook and Hackle club and a bunch of guides were involved. I think Nancy at Fish Tales was some how involved. This could be resurrected fairly easily I think if someone was interested.

Wolfie you have mail

I have the Korkers as well. I've got about 40 days on them and haven't had a problem with the soles. They're comfortable, easy on/off, light, and the only part showing wear is the felts. :Hi jack: Rusty - check your PM's BK

:Hi jack: And now you're just older with shorter hair? Russ did you get my Email a weekor so ago? Sorry about the hijack BK

As Jack said, I'm available just about any time I'm not fishing. If you want to try one of the 10 foot rods I have both the 5wt and 6wt. Shoot me PM or an Email and we'll set something up, preferably in the evening on a weekday. BK
