    Avian Flu

    We picked up 2 natural GP skins and one dyed purple from estates. The 2 natural ones went out quick. I'm tempted to dye the purple one black for black GPs. It's odd we can buy crests, tippet and tails but no one has skins. Veniard hasn't had any for over 3 years.

    Avian Flu

    You might have noticed higher costs for chicken, smaller and more costly turkeys over Christmas, and a big increase in the cost of eggs. Hold onto your CDC because our two main suppliers are telling us that they are having a hard time getting some things like CDC, high quality capes and saddles...

    No Harm no Foul

    It's not unusual to see an area opened to catch and release as a management measure to determine the health of a population. That method has been used in BC before. Test fisheries and experimental fisheries in commercial fisheries have been used for decades to guage population and the same logic...

    Wading Boot Recommendation

    To continue after a temporary falfunction... I like the Darkhorse because of the Boa system. I haven't seen one fail but heard of this likely from those who like rumours. As far as their warranty. I had a guy bring in a pair of Devil's Canyon which had a little separation at the toe guard. Big...

    Wading Boot Recommendation

    I'm in Korkers Buckskin after wearing out two pairs of Korkers Redside boots. I like them as much as I did my previous Korkers. I've also sold lots of these in the shop with only one return that I'll explain in a minute. I'm wearing the felt soles my boots came with. I have noticed though that...

    New sage coming out soon?

    Could maybe be the way it's phrased in the original post by the Florida Keys Outfitters. We would need to check the Far Bank website to see how they announced their new arrival. Either way it will be interesting to see what this new rod is like.

    This is the reason why we call our painted black beads Amp 11 Black.

    SFR Handy gadgets, tools, or other things you never want to be without

    I never go into the bush without my favourite folding pocket knife. One side folds out into a blade, saw, screwdriver, bottle opener, awl, compass, scissors, toothpick, and a magnifying glass. And the other side folds out into a 3 room cabin and 4 cords of dry firewood.

    Upper Pitt River in BC

    I worked that area for DFO from 88-90. You'll be early for any salmon but you'll find dollies, small RBTs which are likely steelhead smolts and a few SRCs. I don't think the dollies are anadromous there but not sure. Fished only a couple spots when time permitted and got only dollies with...

    Craft Beads? Alternative Craft Store Materials to Add "Naturalistic" Characteristics?

    I mentioned using imitation sinew. This stonefly uses it for the shellback.
