Gramps and Dad tied in hand, Dad switched over to a vice in the late 50's. Learned to tie in hand but switched ot a vice fairly quickly, as I tied for a lot of shops in BC in my younger days.

Fly fishing in another era.

Hoping its a happy ending

Wish they woud do stocking in some of our small streams, they are suffering.

Vancouver Island would be great with beach fly fishing and small streams.

Wonderful tie

Tried a few methods of finding leaks, the flashlight was the best. But it seems once they start going it accelerates. After repairing my old Simms last year over and over I got tired of wet feet. Did get 5 years out of them. Have had 3 pairs of Simms, good waders but getting rather pricey for the name. Needed a new pair this spring and darn happy with my new Redingtons Sonic-Pro's. Time will tell but they have been great.

I bought all mine at Fishtails but years ago. think I have about a doz.

Much fewer fish in this section, I live up here also. You do have to look for the right kind of water. there are some decent fish but you do have to put in the time to find them. Trico's and small Mayflies on the river now.

Been just using machine screws and replacing them every couple of years. The Kold Kutters look nice but the shipping is heavy. Should check out some local motocross shops to see if they carry them.

I had a pair of Simms G3’s with Vibram soles. For a couple of years. Sold them and went back to Felt soles for this old guy again. Much more secure grip and so much safer.

I'm just writing some new rules for the Buy and Sell area to be in line with other forums. Looking for feedback on any thoughts. We have had quite a few new users with only one or two posts placing ads and never being heard from again. I would prefer something like 30 days membership and 20 posts.
