Sigh, would love to swing for Steelies out west but it isn't in the budget.

Please post more pix, its hard to say exactly Taco you are most likely right on the on the ferrule but there seems to be a missing a guide. Lovely old rod though.

Perfect tie, nice tinsel work. Kudos

Seems to be a problem with the latest version of Safari. Try this.'

Thank god it worked out with no injures. Hopefully more of your stuff will show up from honest hands.

Try downloading Firefox for you browser. I like it better.

Lovely video.

Yes that one of Bill Rutherford's rods. Looks like you have a missing ferrule. Cool old rod.

Working on some swinging wets.

Tried smoking pot once, handle kept sticking in my throat.

I cut and weld another loop in place, been doing it for years. Not hard. Clear shrink wrap tubing and a candle.

Hoping everyone is OK.

How it happens The life cycle of the parasite causing whirling disease is complex,one. Once established in the skull of an adult fish, Myxobolus cerebralis, which is only about 10 microns, or .01 millimeters in size, is released into the water after the fish dies and decomposes. These microscopic parasites are then devoured by tubifex worms that live in the mud of freshwater streams and lakes. The worms act as a second host for the parasite, which metamorphoses into these 300-micron monsters then known as triactinomyxon, or “TAMs,” the parasites remain in the mud-dwelling worms until they are excreted into the lower water column. Nearby trout redds are particularly vulnerable to the parasite, which can attach to the skins and shoot spores into the juvenile trout, penetrating their skin and beginning the cycle once again. There is no treatment for whirling disease at this time. The best way is to inspect and just clean all your equipment with fresh water ie: hose it down well (especially remove mud and sediment) then allow for a minimum of 24 to dry (a bleach solution is not an answer). In my opinion banning felt is just a knee jerk attitude. There are too many other items like nets,, waders, laces, fly vests and all your other items even damp flies. The disease is transmitted through spores. Equipment used for swimming, paddling, boating, water pumping, life jackets, or through infected fish (alive or dead) and fish parts are more likely to spread spores. It has been detected in all the western states and many northeastern watersheds. Link

This..... I have reported fish years ago with the symptoms.

Have a separate set of boots for drift boats.

I love felts, safest sole out there with studs. And yes I have dried mine between trips for the last 7 years. I have seen this coming.

That settles it, its the elusive Jackalope in spawning colors.

Another emerger with quill Body #18.

Whenou buy fry for stocking sometimes the odd one that gets mixed in from another batch.

Run your two dubbings to the half way point of the wire, then use what you need from each end.

Was just reading about this, very nice.

Difficult to say without a better picture. Does look like a Dolly especially if no black spots or vermiculations it would take it away from being a brook trout, but I could be wrong Check out this ID Chart

You are right its April 1, my bad.
