    How many cigs did it take?

    That is so unreal. There you are in the wilderness breathing fresh clean air, casting to rising trout with your Marlboro rod. How could a marketing team even think this was a good idea? So crazy, hey it's time for another Marlboro because I see more fish rising

    Christmas reel…..

    Soft white fleshed 9 inch rainbows. Only WDFW can end this nightmare.

    OK, can I cast it if I offer extra crown on X local lake? Wow, that looks really amazing.

    Reel Refinishing?

    One of my Heddon 310 reels has a sticky handle. I really like the bamboo replacement handle look you crafted. Might try to fabricate one if the plastic one is damaged. Guess I will find out when I take it apart.

    Ribs

    Perfect recommendation. I do Hash all of the time and even do a vegan hash for those family members who took a wrong turn. One thing I like to add is an Aioli sauce for guests to apply. Makes the pile of meaty goodness pop!

    A Pen Lake Today

    Another nice looking fish Lue. I found this little fatty with 9 more friends on Thursday. Mr. Berkley sang me some beautiful music which was a first for this newly acquired reel.

    A Pen Lake Today

    Nice Lue Those are way better fish than what was going down in east Renton last week. Any of those pigs go airborn or did they just stay low with the solid tug.

    HRQ #5

    Packages from Ricks & HFF arrived in tonight's mail. It was almost like opening my childhood Christmas stocking except instead of finding tangerine's nuts and candy it was full of Thread, guides, and reel seats. Now I can finally finish restoring BST#2 bamboo rod. Hmm... which one will be BST#3 ?

    Float tube net

    No kidding Lue. Last winter I donated a none floating net to the fish god when you Steve and I fished Cady. All I could do was watch the net do it's sink spiral. Bummer deal.

    Hotreelz of Burien repaired St. George!

    Understatement, "sure sounded great!" That was pure music slightly interrupted by your WaaaHooos! We fished until stars filled the sky and temps dropped into too dang cold. I fished the first bamboo rod off the bench yesterday and completely struggled with hookups. C&R 4 brookies and missed so...

    Bamboo Conversion and Projects

    Buzzy, I think your onto something. Bambooflyguy is encouraging me and providing technical support, but like you said all those rod projects will keep me busy all winter. Perhaps Bambooflyguy real intent is to distract me so I don't catch as many fish as he does. Hmmm...

    Bamboo Conversion and Projects

    No, I think it's challenging enough to redo these old rods. The competive spirit is better savord on the water. At least I can almost compete against him.

    Bamboo Conversion and Projects

    This past June I was a well-entrenched plastic rod fly fisherman. I have a 8ft Bamboo rod but hate the weight and slow action. Bambooflyguy talked me into letting him restore a bamboo rod a dying friend sent me. Bambooflyguy spun some magic on this rod and it's now my goto Indicator rod. In...
