Steve, I am in the market for a new tonneau cover myself, but there are times when a bigger enclosure would be nice. I just did a Google search and found a company called Fas-top. It has a cover that can be a tonneau cover and then will transform into a soft top in a couple minutes...

I've fished with Jim multiple times. Definitely a good dude and knows the rivers well.

I have Korkers and this is my third pair, several years old and may need to get another pair soon. I love having one pair of boots that will work for whatever I'm doing, only need to change the soles out. For slippery boulder rivers I really like the aluminum bar soles. I feel like they give...

Except my buddy saw a coyote swim across the river last time he was out on the reach. And this is what I saw last time I was fishing. At least he left my bag with my lunch alone.

I have the OPST Lazer Line and I like it, no tangles but can be hard to hold. I can pull in 10 strips and dump it all in the water without issues it seems, though I usually will hold just one loop. I find that it shoots so well the sometimes the head will just fly out and not unroll since...

Maybe it would have worked backwards if you tried casting left handed? Not quite sure how that works.

Having two eyes focused on the same object is what helps give you depth perception and 3D vision. I would worry that having the monovision issue (one eye focused on far and one eye focused on near) would drive me crazy.

And I was thinking the same thing about how light that line is. I love my Rage 480, using it on a Meiser 567 weight, 14 foot. Mine casts the polyleaders well and I even used 6 foot of T14 the other day with it, though that gets clunky.

Maybe you could pull a few marabou fibers off and add it to the top, then the bottom, then each side. Less waste, less messy, easier to adjust the length, though a little more work. You could also spin up fibers in a dubbing loop, or even a composite loop, but I find that to be a bit tedious.

I used a sink tip with it. I really haven't fished muddlers much before. I have much better luck getting my flies lower in the water column where I usually fish. But I'm sure the barely sunk method would work as well. I should have took a pic of the fly in the water yesterday, The wing...

Top one hooked me up yesterday, lost the fish in the weeds. I had tied that fly on, was going to change it out after a few casts, but I saw it in the water and loved the profile. So I tied me up some other options.

Pirating has nothing to do with patents, and brands/manufacturers whatever, you got my point. Whoever is selling the hooks.

I've been tying flies for 30 years and have managed to muddle my way through things, and I don't really expect things to change. I really don't have my panties in a bunch about it, I really don't care. But it would be nice if a company would actually look out for their customers every once in...

Again, why should it be up to the fly shop owner to give me the sizing? I’m sure the manufacturers have this info. Stop calling things size 1 or 2 if it’s meaningless, call it something meaningful.

My expectations are not unreasonable, they only are unreasonable because the group of manufacturers refuse to provide that info to me. I don’t understand why I have to do extra work when I am the one paying the money. If a fly shop owner can tell me which hook has a 0.5” shank, why can’t the...

Outside of Sportsman's Warehouse, which has a very poor fly tying section, I have no local fly shops. I have to order hooks online. If I am out of size 12 Mustads at home, which I need for the fly I want to tie, but everyone is out of the Mustads, or god-forbid I might try someone else's hook...

That’s the measurement I got on both the size 2 and the size 5+. Then I switched the spools and they fit fine in both reels. The black size 2 reel has the titanium colored size 5+ spool and vice versa. Totally interchangeable. I really like these reels, I’ve managed to buy the 3-packs on...

I actually have 3 sets of them, 3 different colors bought at different times. I have an empty 5+ spool and it weighs 2.0 ounces. But I have some older ones, one of them is a size 2 it says on it, and the reels are interchangeable. Hope that helps. I will note the spool doesn't have the size...

Stupid really. By the way, there is the AFFTA standards for fly lines, not a safety issue. And not really a compatibility issue since many of the newer fly rod designations are best used with lines that are overweighted. And it would not be any harder for a fly hook company to come out with...
