Look for Macrame yarn, Don turned me on to it years ago. Floats like a cork.

I bought My Reddingtons Online Pokerfish. Would have been nice to be able to check the size but with their chart it did turn out OK.

I've always used Simms but my last set of G3 Guides where nothing but trouble. Leak after leak. No joy for the price. Last year I tried a pair of Reddington Sonic Pro's with a front zipperand love em. The other Idea is to look for wast high waders (Wading pants). Unless you are wading chest high they are a good bet (don't wade where the fish are). Bass Pro had a good brand a couple of years back when I worked in the fly shop, Lasted 6 years.

its just simple Poaching.

Been pinching in the vice for years but it was interesting when I tried rolling, it really flattened the sides of the barbed area.

Nice, just teh right amount of bucktail.

Wait a second did I lock the truck?

There is certainly a lot of value in a Ring neck skin, the range is astounding.

NICE

Time for some Drakes.

If the feathers seem matted and dirty overall you can do a light washing with dish-soap in warm water and then lightly blow dry. Most of the time there is no need at all. If you do be prepared to re-Borax the skin, unless it is perfectly dry (non greasy to the touch). A trick is to place the skin side on paper, if there are grease spots add Borax. If you choose to keep the skins in a plastic bag keep it fully open. A paper bag is actually better if it is a new skin as it aids in drying. I will then put it in plastic. I have bought commercial skins that still needed drying. But most reputable companies do a great job and don't require more work. I normally don't clean unless there is a need. I do occasionally steam feathers to get them back to their original shape. Hope this helps let me know if you have other questions.

You must now fill out and deposit a self-certification permit for non-motorized watercraft and water recreational gear in Banff National Park. You can get the permit and more information here.

Nice, fewer and fewer companies stand behind their product. Had a small plate fall out a Hardy reel of mine, they sent a replacement no probleml

Monthly food allowance portfolio now in the fridge.

Looks like someone defacing a city sigh to me. On a different note I always cringe when I see some of these guys use words like "slay" or "kill" and such. I know that it is often used as a volume saying for really catching a lot but the connotation to people outside of our bubble is very bad. Its also very disrespectful to our sport. Its unfortunately used a lot by so called professionals.

The same every year the meters have not been set up as yet.

Not yet but soon.

She's had her injection and so have I

yep it sure takes some of us back

All great stuff, good start on the seasons flies GGP, beauty ties as usual. I love the Yellow Sally Bow, the bead will sink the back end and be really attractive to cruising trout. Great Lighting bug, its a killer. Thinking of tying a lot more small flies, #18 and #20. Have samples of midges, Tricos and BWO's and have been fooling with some new Emerger patterns and some simpler Dries with silhouettes in mind. Does anyone else Tie to suit particular rivers or areas? I am a firm believer that if fish have seen the same pattern over and over they learn not to touch. But more unusual patterns still fool. These days I only fish Dries and Emergers, prefer to stalk and match the hatch. Been putting together groupes in boxes in regard to season also.

Extremely cool picture Monger, thanks for posting.

Here's how will try do do a more step by step.
