    NFR - Are you aware - antibiotic shortage

    IMO this surge is a result of the recent years of isolation. Our immune systems need to be exposed to become educated. This allows for our systems to learn how to fight off these exposures. Unless you have a compromised immune response or underlying comorbidity. I say live your life! Yes...

    Rod Building Single foot guides

    The stiffer the rod results in less flex. Some feel this makes a "faster" action. Each wrap adds mass to that specific area of the rod blank and thus alters the dynamics of how the blank responds in each of those specific areas. Rod builders will spine a blank and then place guides in...

    Rod Building Single foot guides

    CRO I agree. Due to the single wrap, Single foot guides retain more of the blanks natural action. Snake guides due to the additional wrapping add to the stiffness or action of the blank. With this being, said I don't think any individual would be unable to detect the difference and I would...

    Headed to Tennessee

    NFR Our best friend, Nader, is gone.

    Sounds like you gave Nader a wonderful life. There is very good reason dog spelled backwards is god. If only us humans had a fraction of their loyalty, dedication and always forgiving companionship, the world would be a much better place. He will always hold a place in you heart. So very...

    NF Coeur D'Alene River

    Flows are now at 7180cfs. This is insane for this time of year. Should be a red flag for anyone considering a trip in the near future. I guess I will look into possibly making plans for August.

    NF Coeur D'Alene River

    Fishing Stereotypes....

    Hey old man I hear you loud and clear. I have Parkinson's combined with no vision in my left eye due to Glaucoma which greatly affects depth perception. My granddaughter has diagnosed my Parkinson's as "The Wiggles". Anyway changing flies can be very challenging to say the least. If I lacked...

    NF Coeur D'Alene River

    St Joe River Trip

    It is my understanding that the St. Jo is a bit more unstable this time of year with run off and rain being big factors affecting the flows. The NF Coeur D Alene is a bit more stable and predictable this time of year. I will with you wishing mother nature cooperates and the water drops over...
