Get well really soon, those waters are opening up.

The dubbing is sparse deer hair, makes a good floater and legs.

no luck here, now I keep em in a small air tight container till I use em.

Read one of those buggers swept away in the river trying to swim to escape police. Perhaps natural justice. Just gets me steamed all this theft, a guy works so hard for his stuff only to have this happen. Fly shops get broken into multiple times, Last year I lost my beloved Chestnut canoe that I had since I was a kid to some %#$##. Two years before my pontoon that clipped my wings for lake fishing. Worst is what happened to good guys like Duchie who's Jet is his livelihood. Really frustrating.

Ah, baloney, there's no fish in that river!

Agreed, I cant count the number of times I haunted the river in the wee hours relying on the "slurp" sometimes the only indication of a take on a moonless night.

Reminds me of when I lived in BC

being an old timer I still use traditional Balsa wood. I like it better than foam, lighter to cast. Floats higher than foam and a couple of layers of lacquer make it tough. I get mine at the hobby shop in square lengths and then turn em on a drill and sand to shape. Let me know if you would like more info. Haven't pinch the barb on this one yet.

Normal?

It does take time for the Trout to start looking up. After all its easier to feed on the staging nymphs first. They will start keying in.

This film changed my life forever.

Spey cast may times from drift boats. Never had a problem even with 3 guys at the same time as long as they are reasonably competent casters. You do have to situate your people where they have a batch of water in a direction for a comfortable water load. But you don't need much space.

Spent the weekend working in the Greenhouse, one more weekend of work and "She who must be obeyed" will be satisfied and let me off the lash.

Unless the ATV crowd starts self policing, they will loose access to many areas.

only on the bottom

The idea is great, the more we can send in the better data they will have.

Needs a nice Red Agate Line Guard.

You need someone to properly test that puppy. I would take the task on for a few years and let you know how it goes.

OOOOOoooo..... Shiny, I like it.

Lazyboy needs to come out with a Pontoon boat.

Kind of when they "forgot" to put barbless in.
