Oh, it is out of respect for the fish. I agree one should use the proper tool for the job, I just don't think that my opinion of the proper tool is something I have to push on others. If you ultimately want to respect the fish, then don't fish for them.

Oh, I thought it was out of respect for the fish, not the fly rod.

Rob, explain the physics behind this please. It makes no sense to me. I would say use the heaviest tippet you can get away with. If I have an 8 weight rod and a 3 weight rod with the same tippet, and I hook a fish with 40 feet of line out and I don't allow any line to come off the reel, then...

YouTube search composite loop and there’s lots there. OPST sponsors some fly tying videos where they show it well. It’s really kinda cool.

How about “it’ll blow your doors off.”

Wouldn’t common sense say year round? Not like you have to protect a spawning season or anything.

I went on a trip with Helfrich about 13 years ago. Definitely a fishing trip, done in driftboats. And definitely first rate accommodations and food. Beautiful country, amazing the change between Boundary creek launch, and the take out in the main Salmon.

Is it really any different than the bassmaster classic or even the fly fishing competitions? Fishing to win a prize.

I have had my waders patched by them a couple times in the past, again very good service.

That wrench is mighty fine. I was wondering if you would be willing to sell it separately? :D

But as a retired physician, I am devastated that the Canadian government has not stepped in to continue their own study on these patients, though I have no clue how the Canadian health system or governments function. The Canadian Medical Society should be all over this as well.

But that is using an "all or none" though process. Just because EV batteries cause some environmental issues does not mean that it causes as much issues. Your logic is that the only thing that should replace diesel fuel is something that is perfectly planet friendly. Certainly anything that...

I used this stuff on the first rod I built. First time I went fishing in the summer here in eastern Wa the tip came off. Now I use regular epoxy to attach the tips.

It breached yesterday. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/chilcotin-landslide-aug-5-1.7285664

I just tuck all my spare rods behind me, or I have a “side table” that Outcast used to make. I like to have 3 rods typically as I often fish two at a time when I can. Bass fishing is the easiest but then I want a floating bass rod, a floating panfish rod, and some type of sinking line. For...

If you are talking about rainbows that are put in a lake yearly by WDFW where they will never reproduce, I'm not sure what you are protecting by shutting down the fishing. I get it for streams that aren't routinely stocked with invasive species.

I can't see this working for the Super Fat Cat. I think the reason I fell out is that I reached forward instead of sideways, and there is not enough flotation in front of the boat and as I reached and moved forward, the boat went up on its forward points and out I slid. I don't see a way of...

How many times have you noticed your fly catching more fish as it gets really beat up? Seems like realism is overrated.

I have a very recent model, it has the vertical sticks in front and magnets in the back. I blew right through that thing, I’m sure that’s what it is designed to do. That was another thing I had to save from sinking as well once I was in the water.

Yes, I had chest waders on, but I had them belted around the waist only, didn't put the shoulder straps on. I ended up with a little bit of water in each leg, probably a quart or less. They really weren't an issue. My wallet and fishing license were both soaked of course. I think the weight...
