A steelhead with lower standards....but then again...It wouldn't be steelheading...

Thanks for the idea.....

When the right one comes along, you'll barely remember the one(s) that weren't. You'll see.....

Thanks for your suggestion Jaydub...I may have to do some tinkering.....:unsure:

My all-time favourite is dry-brined candied smoked salmon. Basted with with pure maple syrup....( of course... )

This is similar to what I use. Should accommodate 20 tubes...very small footprint'. I have 12 large rod/reel tubes in mine with lots of room left. approx 34" H x 18" W x 12" D (at top) Re stability: I wondered if the hamper might be tippy, but, IMO, the weight of the tubes directly to the bottom...

Good point. I finally realized the pic I took of a fish 10 years ago looks suspiciously similar to the one I took last year..... They could be related....;)

I've ruined two phones dunking in saltwater, both "supposedly" in waterproof cases. The only foolproof waterproof case I trust now is the console of my truck when I'm fishing.

My buddies and I have gotten a little competitive, trying to outdo each other with our crabbing rigs. I thought |I'd pulled out all the stops by adding a bicycle grip streamer to the handle of mine....Then a buddy sent me this: With hat-mounted drone, various go-pros and a sonar...

Very good idea. IMO, a breakaway link not so important in smaller flows, but, in big flows, should be emphasized as a safety must..

I've been thinking a lot about this lately, so thought I'd open up a discussion, as it may prevent some grief for someone in the future. Here goes: I've seen quite a few posts re different configurations for wading staff tethers. They vary from very light strength, to some, I'm sure, that would...

A friend wondered why his new Simms waders suddenly leaked everywhere...Turns out his daughter borrowed them to go picking blackberries.

I'm sure it would. The extreme duty one has 14 oz pull tension and a lock button.

I use a Boomerang scuba retractor (14 oz tension) to keep the grip at my hip...out of the way, but handy on short notice.

I'm wondering how many actually use the wrist strap on their wading staff. I never use one, or even have one on my own staff. I'm interested in opinions. ( I may modify my Riverstick design accordingly)
