Someone cares for you, you are quite fortunate. Good on him.

I'm not trying to play expert, as I am far from it, but older guides are, without a doubt, softer than the latest guides. So perhaps... Regardless, listening to that noise is more than I can bear; I gave away two textured lines, I would prefer, going forward, to never hear those things again...

There is a non-zero chance we are in-laws ;)

Rob Smith's "The North Country Fly", again. It reminds me that the fish haven't changed; the old flies be they spey's, or the imitations of the North Country, work as well today as they did a hundred or so years ago. Most of what is promoted today is to generate clicks and sales. The old flies...

“My significant other, Marge, I called her and she was not ecstatic,” Bielanin said with a smile. The couple used a tape measure and found a wall that had enough real estate that should respectfully display the hefty trophy." I have no idea how he got his wife to agree to hang a four-foot dead...

You don't need a two-page me too thread, but that is unquestionably wild turkey. https://www.featherbase.info/en/species/Meleagris/gallopavo It does not even vaguely resemble eagle. Edit to say: I'm sure you would do the right thing if it had been eagle, but the best policy would be to simply...

Call Bill Archuleta at (541) 956-1691 at Archuleta's Reel Works in Oregon.

Nice to see quality entry-level (or just low use case) products getting some enthusiasm. Over in that toxic wasteland of a forum, they are currently beating a poster senseless for using Maxcatch reels. Not everyone has an unlimited budget, or wishes to commit to a style. Nice review.

I'm tying more in Gapen's style, too. The thinner and less dense head performs better for me. I was never a fan of the fly until I saw a photo of one that Gapen himself tied. I'm a fan, now. Nice work on this one, not that I'm any judge.

And to great effect. This is a great read.

Ah c'mon Norm, you barely have a few thousand flies and 15 years on yours:) Btw, if you don't mind, how's the new vise?

Oh well. Regardless, be sure you are willing to lose the ability to easily and quickly adapt to different hook sizes in exchange for a fiddly screw that needs to be adjusted for every size change. OK, not EVERY size change, just every size change you will make. ;) If I had to do it over again, I...

The Traveler is OK. That's not the glowing review you're going to get from most owners, but it's how I feel. If your jaws are perfect, let's trade :)

Ah geeez, Melissa, your dad was one of the most inspiring tiers on the flymph forum, a gentle and kind person, with encouragement and enthusiasm for all. His encouragement, his kindness, his nurturing, were a great help to me. I'm very sorry for your loss. I'm sorry for all of us to lose him...

Norm, did I just see a new LAW on reddit? :)

I don't get it. Can you explain it to me?

Thank you for posting this! Allow me to share: https://fixthenews.com/ Uplifting stuff that matters.

Well, they can be a bit judgmental.

Not trying to dispute your point, but if the possible penalty of becoming a bison hood ornament isn't a deterrent, I fail to see how a few buck fine will matter. Stupid rarely thinks through consequences... Frankly, the best solution is to remove the distance requirement and let bison do bison...
