    Wading boots suggestions?

    I wear same model in fresh and salt. Friendly Phil turned me on to them. Rinse and soak Never a busted eyelet but seems they should! My laces still good after 4 years, surprised and carry spare in trunk. I was lucky and got a spare set before they changed models, but the old originals...

    Running into fishing enforcement on my first day flyfishing...

    Beware of Grays Harbor wardens. Only time ever approached in 20 yrs the guy said he would mail me citation for keeping a jack. Ended up with 3 made up charges. Had to fight in court but no witnesses. Moral, when you are fishing alone, video or use recorder app. Many of the wardens are wsp...

    I think Amin needs to step in and send a kind ethics rule for our group. NEVER REVEAL NAMES OR EXACT LOCATIONS! If you want to post on FB or Utube, this is not the right group for you. And stockings are online, keep it to yourself. This pic from a buddy depicts what your loose tongues can do...

    Tippet Lies

    Try the power flex plus. Adds poundage strength especially for stripping buggers. But it runs 12 bucks for 30! I once bought by accident and all you use now. Also try a Cutthroat leader from Idaho for dries.

    Anybody fishing furled leaders ?

    There are plenty of legendary fisherman from pnwff that know more. Here is the lowdown. Ferrell or braided leaders are loop to loop, just add tippet, no memory when left on reel, can attach and adjust indicators easy with no kinking, punch and throw tight casts, last years. I can never figure...

    Anybody fishing furled leaders ?

    Grew up using the Orvis braided tapered, then no more. Found Cutthroat Leaders in ID and problem solved. Not made from mono stiff. I tie my own for salmon made from 20lb Cortland spool of 100'. Just knot your own loop to loops. Found an expensive small needle to make loops but super hard to...
