    Dual purpose pontoons (stillwater & rivers)?

    Even with a 10' Scadden raft, a big 10.5' Maxxon pontoon, a Clackacraft pram, and SuperCat float tube, and a JB Outiftters pontoon, I still have space in a large pole barn so I definitely need at least one more floaty thing...

    Anyone use this rechargable/wireless (inexpensive) depthfinder on their tube or 'toon?

    So fishing the other day, a friend had on his pontoon one of those inexpensive depthfinders with a cable running to a bobber/transducer. Seemed like a handy tool for $45 other than it uses 4 batteries. I searched around for a rechargable model. This one is very similar to my friend's except...

    Fishing (or fished) Patagonia? Keep your eye on Argentina.

    With the results of their presidential run-off election, the Argentines are headed for some interesting times. (As if they weren't living in them already considering their economy) Dollarization? (implentation doubtful, but useful campaign rhetoric). I wonder how the economic uncertainty will...

    Tips for curing bird skins - preserving for fly tying?

    The last few waterfowl seasons I've been collecting a lot of CDC and other feathers for various fly tiers. This season, I plan to also preserve whole skins for myself. The online how-to instructions that I've found just use two applications of Borax. After thoroughly removing all the fat of...

    Straight outta Scotland - Barrio Fly Lines

    My search for gear led me to this site in Scotland...I like the artisan aspect. Their furled leaders seem like a very fair price, especially with the offered free-shipping for orders of $15GBP. I didn't order any flylines but the price point is attractive too. https://www.flylineshop.com/
