One of my earliest trailering lessons was learned at four in the afternoon on a Sunday, while leaving a lake in nowhere-ville, 120 miles from home. Got a flat, I had the correct size spare mounted for the trailer with a five-hole lug pattern on the same size wheel as the trailer. Lesson, the...

The year of the Rabbit - my furry little butt.

Caption this. :cool:

When in Rome.... If that doesn't work for you, try Florence.

Sounds to me like you have the same problem we have here. Our neighbors have defective cats. Tomcat works great if it's really fresh. It should crumble under a little pressure or have some give and have a strong scent of very sweet fruit. Most of the stuff I've come across in HIC's is pretty...

Dude, your SUV, trailer and boat! Lousy way to start the day.

Nicely done.

This should go under the heading of a fast and crappy resolution to a honey-do project. You'll have to take my word for it. we have some very nice fly shadow boxes. These shadow boxes with matting and backing board came from a home store ( Kirklands ) and were ten bucks a pop. Originally, they...

Cool, but to the rest of the points? I'd like to hear your thoughts. I read a something on Blantons board last week that included input from some fly fishing notables, who are against single foot guides on rods and they seem to have some valid points. So where do you stand on them and the...

Agreed, none of my s.w. rods have them, but that goes back to the 90's. Yet a lot of angler's dislike single foot guide which take fewer wraps, reduce foot prep and cut finishing time in half, but they can be found on all price level rods. Then there's the fewer trim band wraps that go along...

T.I.C. :unsure: Could the absence of hook keepers on new production rods have less to do with customer satisfaction and more to do with saving the small amount of labor and material involved with filing down their feet, wrapping and finishing them? Leaving them off the rod's beats giving...

Mothballs & old wool ( gag me ), although that wretched smell could be coming from grey beards fly tying stash.

Could I? In a small camper? No way. We've been kicking around a Class A (formerly had a Class C. ) and hitting the road full time with a toad. We've also thought about maintaining a smaller home base in the southwest. As far as downsizing, we've downsized, then upsized, then downsized two more...

I ordered one of Dave's reels an anti-reverse permit model back around '92 at the I.S.E. San Mateo. Had some big fish on that reel. It's now in another guy's collection Kaufmann's "IS" what a great fly shop should aspire to be. If we could turn back time.....
