Well in case people are wondering, I bought a used Hyde Pro this afternoon. It's in great shape hardly ever been used. The guy had to sell it because of a medical issue. Pick it to tomorow. Let the good times roll!!!!
I'd love to take her for a spin, but I think I'll have to wait a couple of more weeks. Lousie isn't taking calls yet. Seems she is down South on vacation and has the spare key for my truck.
For the past 6 months I've been worried as hell about lossing my job, I work for Nova and haven't spent a red cent. However yesterday I started feeling rather optomistic and bought a second Islander reel I've been thinking about. If things continue to look good next spring I'm buying the drift boat (Hyde aluminuim) that I've been thinking about for a few years. My question is how does everyone else feel? Is is too ealry to come out of the shell yet?
I was there today as well. Agree the displays are incredible. A few good deals. Unfortunately, I was disappointed in the fly section. Prices are high, sellection is poor.
Nice one. I thought about fishing this morning but the snow put me off. I was out yesterday morning and saw the water was getting a bit muddy. Only put one small brown in the net.
If you were using Louise Shotton it was $50 last year. By the way, I've been using Louise regularly for a number of years now, with no issues yet. I've finally convinced a couple of my friends to get pontoon boats so I'm hoping this year that I can do our own shuttlling and save some cash.
I agree it has more to do with pride and craftmenship than simply catching fish. Beside I enjoy tying. However, in addition to my premuim flies, I do tie a fair number of SJWs, and other standard go-to flies that keeps my box full.
