    You might have noticed higher costs for chicken, smaller and more costly turkeys over Christmas, and a big increase in the cost of eggs.

    Bring Back the Hook Keeper!

    I just took my new Echo EPR from the tube to line up for some bucktailing and see that yet again there's no keeper provided. This is now getting to be the norm with rod companies. Why is one more half inch wrap and a piece of bent wire so much to ask for?

    Pollen

    So, we're on this lake and it's fishing pretty good. Lots of surface action on big caddis. Also damsels, may's, dragons, scuds...lots of hungry fish. Then for a couple days the pollen is brutal. We're having sinus issues and eyes are burning. Not fun. Well the fishing went in the tank. The lake...

    Slinky Line

    I was given a reel and there's an old clear intermediate line on it. It's really a slinky, the early generation of these mono lines. I'm wondering if I can make a number of polyleaders from it. I've welded loops into modern clear lines when needed but not sure if it's possible with this older...

    Hardy Glen Beg Neo Cane

    A fellow brought an 8'6" 6 weight one of these into the shop. I did some looking aroundon the web and they don't seem to have the value of other Hardy cane. Can anyone who knows something about them tell me why this is. It seems they were only made for a few years in the mid-60s. This one looks...

    The Trouble With Scudback

    Earlier this week I was organizing and putting some stuff away and opened a box that had a bunch of Scudback inside. I admit I don't use this very much but I found it had all gone hard and brittle other than a more recently purchased package. This is something to keep in mind when you buy this...

    Seamaster Salmon Fly Reel

    A very good old friend of mine passed away last month and left me a Seamaster Salmon reel. It is set up to retrieve using the right hand and I want to change it over. Does anyone know if this is possible? I don't want to start ripping into it only to find it can't be done. Looking online it...

    Cowichan River

    My son with one of several browns caught on Thursday with our guide, Alex West. Alex is on of the best and we says there'll be a brown there you better believe it. Aidan outfished me again but I'm used to it because if you throw a wet rag on the floor he'd cast a fly over it and a trout would...
