    Music on the water

    I listen when working out, or on a job site. I can drive 12 hours without music , my wife NEEDS road music. I don't need distractions or motivations getting to fishing, or actually fishing. Teen agers driving Daddys wake boat with a sound system the whole lake is forced to listen to...well that...

    Welding Heads?

    Thank you one and all. I'm tracking now. I did not grasp this aspect. Makes sense. Thanks a bunch. Yeah, I'll watch the videos. I still like getting opinions from members here though.

    Welding Heads?

    That's what I love about this site, so often you are damned one way or another. Really hate to disrupt everyone's delicate equilibrium and ask a question sometimes.🤣 just effin YouTube it.😂 Mostly I was interested in sources for heat shrink tubing.

    Welding Heads?

    Long overdue that I learn to weld some heads. I plan on getting a Meiser switch rod this winter and want to play around with line design to suit my needs. I have a general grasp of the process. Guess I am curious to hear what people prefer for heat shrink tubing? Generic brands vs say Rio...

    I have a friend who lives in Spokane. Big time bird hunter, but also quite talented with training dogs. He has two Drahts which are an extreme pleasure to hunt behind. We have talked for the past few years about doing a hunt, I finally had the flexibility to go. Interesting hunt terrain, pretty...

    Echo 10wt E3S vs. Boost Blue & Prime

    I have two of these rods in 10 wght. Possibly my favorite rods. Often wondered what could replace them. Hopefully never cross that bridge. What happened to your rod?

    Rather demoralizing to follow G_Smolt with some puny Montana rainbows.

    Epic hunt with my twin daughters

    I get behind on following all the threads. Finally caught up to your annual hunting post. As always it rewards. Hope I don't seem out of line, but this hunter appreciates seeing young women embracing the hunter/ gatherer role...and with big smiles. Congratulations!!

    Meiser switch rods

    Its a great recommendation. Testimony from guys with hands on experience also has value. Apologies if it's a worn out topic.

    Meiser switch rods

    So I'm looking for a two hand rod which I can use for trout in Montana. Mentioned in some recent threads about learning the overhead cast this year using a Beulah Opal2. Love this rod, but the 5/6 weight is still a little overkill for trout, unless the wind is howling. My purpose will be lake...
