    Which booties for lightweight float tube hiking?

    https://www.academy.com/p/magellan-outdoors-mens-shoreline-front-zip-wading-boots?sku=7-d-gray These if I’m carrying in my waders and boots which is most of time. If hiking in waders, I wear my wading boots for support.

    Bread Thread

    I bake one loaf at a time, about once weekly. I just clean up as I go and it’s easy. I don’t stress over small amounts of dough in my sink/drain, but I use paper towels to wipe out most of the leftover dough before washing the bowls and utensils.

    How do you secure bead chain "eyes" or lead barbells eyes to a hook shank?

    I was watching one of those old PBS tying shows and they had Dave Whitlock on there. He used a file on the hook before very lightly before tying on the mono hook guard. Then hit it with super glue. I have always felt that the spinning eyes issue was due to the thread base spinning on the hook.

    PFD’s

    We just had a 28 y/o fishing at Ringold try to cross the irrigation canal and he slipped and got washed into the Columbia River. Haven't found him yet. Think about wearing a PFD while wading.

    just checked my stash, I have the Cortland Type 9 level sink, not the Compact sink, if you are interested. WF6/7 size.

    Bread Thread

    Lemon Blueberry focaccia. Not sure you can call what I worked with a dough as opposed to calling it a pudding. Hope it tastes as good as it looks.

    Show me your bass

    In Tennessee with my 93 y/o parents, I was flyfishing and catching plenty of bluegill and my mom pulled this smallmouth from the area I had just caught a big bluegill. She was using a small rapala type lure. I aspire to still be fishing at 93. About 16 inches.

    Found the owner of "FOUND: Fly rod, reel, line"

    A couple years ago I lost a fly rod on one of the seeps, so if it's a custom wrapped St. Croix, it's mine.

    Bread Thread

    My breads have been getting flatter lately, I store my starter in the fridge, I typically do a 1:5:5 feed the night before I mix the bread. I decided to give my starter a little more love, and did twice daily feedings for a couple days before this bake. Certainly was worth the extra work...

    Tennis Elbow?

    Tennis player and retired physician here. The braces they showed above work decently. It just takes some time really. No need to stop but activity may be less fun for awhile. Get on the Google and look for exercises, wrist extension and flexion with weight worked well for me. I actually...
