    Just needed a tug…

    After a long winter of not catching fish and @clarkman picking my pocket, I needed a tug on the end of my line. At this point, size didn’t matter. So, the boy and I went to a reliable lake for a bit of small, but necessary, action. A bit misty on the drive up. A nice calm cool morning. A...

    Blob Flies!

    I mixed it up. Top and bottom rows have two on jigs, two on a wide gap scud-ish hook with a tungsten bead, and two unweighted. Other rows have some combination of the same (determined by what beads I had on hand).

    Anyone use the Fishpond Thunderhead Hip Pack?

    Another non-direct comparison, but I also have a Patagucci waterproof hip pack. It's comfortable enough with the shoulder strap. The main zipper is a bit a of a chore to open and close, even if you keep it lubed. The Thunderhead's main zipepr is a different design, so maybe it's easier. One...

    T&T HS908S Grain Window?

    Hey all. I recently acquired a older T&T Horizon HS908S (two piece), and was hoping one of you fine people could let me know the rod's preferred grain window. True to size 8wt lines? Over-line it? Let me know your thoughts. As always, thanks for your help!

    What's in your vise?

    Sure. Hook: whatever 2xl nymph hook you like, #10 - 12. Thread: I really like the semperfli nano silk 50d, but again, use whatever you like. I like black regardless of the fly color. Weight: 6-10 wraps of .020 wire Tail: marabou Wingcase: more marabou. Rib: small/medium wire, whatever color you...

    What's in your vise?

    I kept it stupid simple. Four 10mm shanks (with a fifth attaching the hook). I used the minnow body wrap on this one and colored with markers. It's remarkably easy to work with. Wrap it, brush/pick it out, and do an initial trim. Once the fly was done I just kind of trimmed it like an EP minnow...
