Thanks, that discussion was helpful. Today I've been researching folding and retractable tonneau covers, but so far even the good ones seem to have water leaking problems even those with incorporated drains. So, with a canopy likely out of consideration I'm still leaning toward the Decked system.

Couple of question and comment: 1. What is the hesitation on recommending the Bakflip? 2. Sinetic looks great, but not sure retractability is worth the $$ for me. I am, however, intrigued by the rail system for adding accessories (racks).

Buying the light from the maker of the resin your using makes a lot of sense. Not all resins are chemicaly the same and will initiate best at a particular UV wavelength. The maker of the resin will sell you the best light for their product.

Looking at these as an option for my 2011 Silverado 1500. My priorities are water protection and security while fishing and camping. Doesn't seem reasonable to spend $3K on a cap for a 13-year-old truck, but I might be able to justify half that since I only have 100K miles on it. The loss of...

Slider day... Sculpin slider and articulated trout slider.

Wow, that is going to catch fish. Do you think the action of the rear section could be enhanced by a reverse taper or a bit of a flare in front of the tail? Great trimming job!

The first step is admitting you have a problem. 😜😆

Or stop tying, but that's not going to happen. I still have dry flies I tied for hatches back East that we don't have out here and are 30+ years old. I have about a thousand assorted Globugs from my days chasing Lake Ontario browns and steelhead. Just don't have the heart to throw flies away...

First the backstory...RichS gave me a fly as we were getting ready to fish a certain lake. It was a spun deer hair dragon fly nymph with boobie foam eyes. I believe it was the only fly I used all day with success (see below). I recently saw a Phil Rowley video tying the Gomphus, so I suppose...

More fun with deer hair. Wooly sculpin (Galloup variation) Sculpin slider

I'm looking for advice from those of you who tie articulated streamers. I'm looking for suggestions on what material is best for making the connection. I have seen videos or read articles using Spiderwire, 9-Strand Surflon (nylon coated metal wire), and braided backing. I used 25 lb. braid...

Decided to stop my avoidance of spinning deer hair with a Larry Dahlberg Flash Dancer. Sculpin pattern(s) next.

What size hooks are these?

True, guide flies are by necessity quick and easy to tie. However, a guide's tip can depend on how successful the fishing is, so easy or not if eyes were key to having a successful day, you can be damn sure the guide flies would have them. You last four words make the point. ;)

Heard a smallmouth guide say he doesn't put eyes on his guide streamers but does if he is tying for the shop. To me, that sounds like eyes are attractors for fishermen and not the fish. To date, the only eyes I put on my streamers are on the lead dumbells or a dot from a Sharpie. Thoughts?

2011 Silverado on a Montana trip in 2013. Bought in early 2013 with 11,000 miles on it. Most likely the last truck I will need. Just after turning 99,999. Keep to the maintenance schedule and runs like the day I got. Not the missing door trim neatly removed by the car wash.

My order of jig hooks, pins, and tungsten beads arrived. Taking a stab at balanced flies.

They expire? Mine has been going since the site went up. Truly appreciate what the admins do here and love the site. Don't want my monthly payments to expire cause I would for sure never notice.

Nice! A 'go to' pattern back east for fussy trout on the Catskill Rivers.

One more for the day... Scotty McFly Hook: TMC 5262 #4 Thread: Chartreuse Danville Flymaster Plus Weight: Brass conehead in copper and ~10 wraps of 0.015 lead wire jammed into the cone with super glue Tail: Two white marabou plumes w/ pearl Flashabou either side Body: Pearl mylar tubing...
