Hey @MarshRat, Have fun in your search. Not a click and Pawl, as its a Disc Drag but The M2A Reel, from "The Fly Shop", in Redding California, may suit your style. Classic look. Well made. A Friend has the reel and its top notch. Ive got their L2A Reel, a step up in construction and...

@Skeena88, Im not sure about that hook being available, in smaller sizes. Fly Fish Food has become my go to for weird Fly Tying Tools and Materials. Give them a call/chat regarding those hook sizes. BTW, their store in Idaho Falls, is a must stop for us, whenever we travel near there...

@Skeena88, If you tie, take a look at the Gamakatsu CM-BM Dry Fly Hooks. Ive been impressed with the "Big Eye" aspect of these hooks. Makes it way easier to tie on a tippet. If you don't tie, maybe you could have a custom tyer, use these hooks for your order. If needed, a friend, of mine...

@Zak and @SculpinSwinger, I just finished tying some Chromies, using the Sally Hansen Hard As Nails, "Crystal Clear" product. Gotta say, I am impressed. I did 4 coats, drying each coat overnite. This of course, adds time to completion of the flies. However, I see no difference in the...

Volunteer work with BLM, USFS and Trout Unlimited, mostly on Local Watershed, Rehab Projects, has been extremely gratifying. COVID hit. Everything stopped. I need to get active again. I bet you would dig it too. Happy Holidays all.

@Zak and @SculpinSwinger, That is great info. Thank you. @Mike Cline . Ive got a very similar UV Blacklight Flashlight. Thanks for that input also.

Thanks @Mike Cline. This may work for me. Does it work with a simple UV Light like I already have or do I need to get one of those nail dryer appliances?

Hey all, So in the last few days, I've unfortunately realized, that I am probably allergic, to my fave UV Resin, Solarez, "Ultra Thin Bone Dry Plus". Total drag as I absolutely love the way it looks and acts, on Chromies and Perdigons. I have used Sally Hanson "Hard as Nails" and its...

Top Notch all around.

Copy @Brute

@Brute, @CRO, How long have you had them? Are they Durable? Do you recommend them? Which model do you like? I think they might work for some older fishing friends I hang with. Happy Holidays All. Bob

@Tim L, Classic. I had the exact same vest. Even the same stains.:)

Patagonia Fan here as it pertains to expensive waders. Their customer service is unparalleled. Been fishing in them for 35 plus years. On only my third pair. I can live with 1 pair every 10-12 years. Historically, within reason, if Patagonia cant fix the wader, you can often receive a...

Gonna be hard to top that day.

Prayer sent for the both of you. Little, simple things, embrace them. Like the joy that heater gave you. Time with a good friend. Thats life.

5 people are going to be very happy. Nice idea.

@WT!, What @SurfnFish said. Im copying that for Lake Driftboat fishing. Thank you for the idea. Bob

Thanks Tom and Jim, Ill be tying some of these up. Cant wait to throw them at some local smallmouth and trout. Be safe. Bob

Hey Tom. Would yo be kind enough to post a recipe for your Jiggy Craw? Or is already posted somewhere? Are you using pine squirrel or micro rabbit strips for the claws? Thank you in advance., Bob

To clean your lines, try to find some old school "Glide" line dressing. I clean my lines via a damp cloth with some Dawn dish soap. Pull the line through pinched pointer finger and thumb. Make a few passes. Then make a pass with only water on different area of cloth. Let line dry. Put some...
