Nicey shot and narrated flick about the little known Midge

Fantastic Bob, I really missed your photo posts. Those are great.

Yep I saw that but couldn't find a video. All pretty impressive stuff. Thier set up casts are longer than my bests. . They sure make it seem easy.

There are always those "special" fish that standout.

Sweet spey cast here. Here

Unfortunitly no some rods have a rubber "plug" or a screw plate others do have to be customized.

PM me, that part of what I do for a living.

Welcome aboard, thanks for joining.

Nice rainbow Don and the miro leach works great.

Absolutely wonderful, thanks for posting. It’s been many years since I've been able to trek out for those Cromers, great to see and read you story.

you can find them for sale but not realy had to build a simple version. I normally use my Nor Vice to do the same thing. A wood block with 2 nails will get you started. I've seen many home made version that work great. It's just a glorified dubbing loop.

Tying up some flies for Lakers and Kootenay Lake Gerrard Rainbow's.

Cool looking Skwala

Caddis pupa's, Lighting bugs and Brassies.

Tuying up a few doz Battis nymphs for the ovive hatches in #18's

For what it's worth I've used machine screws for years, yes they do wear off after a while but it is really easy to unscrew and put in a new set. Only takes a few minutes. I put Hardbite Stat Cleats on one set of Korkers in 2011 and they’re still going strong, the grip has been great. Have a few words about them on my blog.

He He tried to pull the same thingon the wife but the grand rugrats are here so SOL.

Good for you!

Here you go

Thanks, I need to rent one this season as mine walked away at Hector lake last season.

Actually I think felt has been used more of a scapegoat than anything else. It certainly has been great for the boot manufacturers in areas where it was banned and everyone had to switch. It didn’t mean people still didn’t spread the spoors just as much. The point is more education on cleaning ALL you gear that comes in contact with Didymo infected waters, driftboats, traditional nets, boot laces, crevices in you waders (seams) all will harbor spores from one body of water to another. And that is the key not transferring, as control at this time is the only option. ------------------------------- New Zealand has a great Didymo awareness campaign much more effective than the silly felt ban called ‘Check, Clean, Dry’: Check – before leaving a waterway, check for clumps of algae. Don’t take debris found at the waterway. Clean – for at least one minute using one of the following: hot water, a two per cent bleach solution or a five per cent solution of salt, dishwashing liquid or antiseptic hand cleaner. Dry – make sure your items are dry to the touch, and then dry them for an additional 48 hours. ------------------------------- I have a bleach bucket in the garage that I soak my felt boots in, it has more than 2 percent more like 10. It’s a good idea to hang you equipment so that it dries completely, between trips I also like to hose down waders etc. We need to be the stewards to this; unfortunately there is both not enough education and apathy to clean. This would include pooled water in boats, motors, and launch plus recreation vehicles. More information here.
