For didymo, Formula 409 spray is supposed to work. I keep a bottle of it in my truck and spray waders and boots when I take them off. It soaks in on my ride home where I rinse them off with the garden hose before hanging up. So far no noticeable problems with the fabric or glues on waders and...

My mom got me one and the Goodhouskeeping cookbook when I moved out of the house. I still have them both.

I have the Athlon Midas G2 8x42 because it got a good rating by birdwatchers. I like how bright the image and easy to focus plus the range of distance is better than my Vortex and Nikon binocs in the same price range $350.

The tiptop was the worst grooved, so I used a really fine emery cloth wrapped around a nail and just took my time. I wet sanded it. The snake guide had hardly anything so I used a piece of paracord and I think it was with some valve lapping compound. That was quite a few years ago so I am just...

The original sharkskins had that problem but the change to the more subtle textured lines don't seem to have that problem for me. The sharkskins grooved chromium guides on a rod but not so much that I couldn't sand them smooth.

So no one has a secret hatchery raising their own for big $$$?

Years ago when we were staying in Twin Bridges my wife broke her Winston so we dropped it off at the factory the next day. We were told it would be the standard six weeks. Fortunately my wife had a spare rod to use the rest of our trip, but I guess I was hoping that being right there the...

One size up on Simms wader boot but two sizes up on the wader stocking foot. I find the stockingfoot really bad if even a little tight with two wool socks. Never had a problem with a little extra neoprene going into the boot one size up, whether one or two socks. Warmer weather water I use Orvis...

Fly Fish Journal is excellent. I have read the Drake from time to time and it just doesn't appeal to me.

In the spring there is a spawning run of these sturgeon up the Black River tand requires volunteers to patrol the river to prevent poaching during that time period

My wife and I got checked in MT and the officer couldn't have been nicer. In conversation he told us of a few other small streams to check out because we were new to the area.

Yes that is the hybrid that I looked up because someone else mentioned it. That also was the price that I saw quoted in Car and Driver review.

In the nineties our company vehicles were mini vans. The best by far was the Dodge Caravan. It could remove both rear seats, and I was able to occasionally haul a nearly a ton back there. It got me anywhere I needed in the snow belt area of Ohio/Pa and especially winter steelhead fishing. Got...

our LP Generac 14Kw sounds like a slightly muted lawn mower but still loud enough to hear in the house.
