I keep it simple, tying the primary fly with a 6 turn lubricated slip knot leaving a 12" to 18" tag end and tie the dropper to that.

-a giant cutt taking a floating Royal Trude on the Snake River -my first King on the fly, a 30# chromer, taking a Clouser on the swing in tidewater -having a migrating Hegben Brown as long as my arm grab an egg sucking leech on the Madison -meeting a rancher in the Methow Valley who gave us...

Never met my biological father, and a succession of step-fathers with no interest in the outdoors cycled through what was a rocky childhood. So when I became a father, married to a wonderfully supportive and loving woman, nothing was more important to me than providing our kids with the home...

heavy duty backing like that tends to easily overrun itself

wife and I enjoyed decades on the same two WoodRiver V-boats. Sent them in once, before the owner closed shop and bailed for England, for new bladders just a preventive precaution.

Simms Freestone wading boots can be found for reasonable and have excellent soles and ankle support. Really like mine.

Occasionally I'll resort to a deep line set-up when shallower presentations just aren't working. Anchor in 30' of water that is marking fish towards the bottom, type 5 goes over the side with a 6' leader w/bloodworm on the end and a chartreuse FAB 3' up, plant the bloodworm just off the muck...

over 800 fires currently in Canada with hazardous air warnings across many of the NE states

If MPG is the goal, hybrid's the way to go. My friend just drove to Bend from the coast in their AWD Sienna hybrid loaded with kids and gear and got 35 MPG. And the reliability of hybrid CVT's is superior as well. Per Consumer Reports the top 3 in reliability remain Toyota, Honda and Subaru...

Purchase price vs mileage. does the blue one include a boarding ladder and free chiropractor visits?

that absolutely sucks.

Introduced my buddy Lee Leatherman to floating beetles yesterday...he's hooked
