I have used this to turn baseball bats and it tried to use it for rod building components. It's free to pick up and it's heavy. Ok would recommend rewiring the plug in to the motor. When I moved the plastic coating cracked. Nothing wrong with the wiring or you could wrap it with electrical tap.

That’s spot on Salmo having looked into this is a management issue. I have not seen any enforcement in 30 plus years. I don’t understand how you can close a fishery for gamefish when you don’t have enforcement. I asked the state why we can shut the fishery down when we don’t enforce it. So far...

Getting close one more coat of varnish and I think the counter top will be done. Going to install a couple drawers below which are finished. And then switch gears to reorganizing my shop and it's going to be rod building time.

Remember I still have that Bellinger plane with your name on it might be for a better price now that I’m organizing my shop🤫

Hope your finger heals soon and you can get back to building your rods. My finishing room is almost done and when you get a chance you should swing by.

I have switched to kuhl brand and they have light weight breathable pants and heavy style also. And they make me look cool😀

That’s awesome Smalma, I plan on attending the next meetings and doing my part on supporting game fish opportunities. I have not come across anyone fishing spawning chinook and if I did they would not enjoy the experience. I have a dialogue started with the department and your insight is very...

Those are the hooks that I tied mine on they probably would be fine on smaller albacore with a ten weight but on bigger set ups they might be a challenge. Just my 2 cents

I’m curious Curt how many of those report were reported on fly anglers? When I worked in the industry I was amazed at the anglers that would come and ask for flies for catching salmon on the north fork. I would remind them that the river was not open for salmon but there response wasn’t I was...

Not sure if I’m familiar with that hook but the key is the bend at the eye of the hook. I tied three on one hook and something nice size rocked me so it was donated to the fish gods. Take a pic of the hook your referring to I may have to pic some up.

Tiemco used to make a bend back hook the would work for these patterns but they are no longer made and the hooks I used are for bass flies and they are light wire.

I will definitely report back on how this is received, mixed stock fisheries and harvest practices in this state have contributed more to the demise of this fishery than a dumb ass fishing with a sink tip over actively spawning kings. But this is what the tribe sees and come back at the...

I mirror you experience with poaching we everytime in crossed Cicero and stopped at Hazel there were people fishing gear while the river is closed. I mentioned that also to the department staff and they had no response. I feel if we make change back to we're the reg's we're back when no...

Here's one I tied awhile back work great for rockfish but I think the hook wouldn't work for tuna

You make a couple good points skyriver I have had many in counters with with none target species. If I find that I can change what I throw to avoid the closed species it is our responsibility to leave them alone. It no different to going to one of our fisheries right now and avoiding pinks it is...

Thanks for your reply Smalma, after talking with the department yesterday he seemed to like my suggestions. He felt like it would work as long as they a directed to do everything we can to note encounter chinook. With the advancement in fly equipment we have to change how we approach these...

I was surprised how this year has reduced opportunities for gamefish fisheries on my local PS rivers. I proposed a change to allow us to fish and reduce impacts on chinook. I suggested floating line only and no weighted flies fly size restricted to 6 and under. No indicators and no beads or egg...

Thanks for the tips I built the table 28 inches by 8ft by 33 inches high which matches my tying table. And I also left room for drawers underneath which I have made already. Just can’t make up my mind if I want to trick it out with a nice hardwood top and a self edge to match. I used to be a...
