Yeah. When I replaced bearings I could not find proper size seals even at bearing specialty store. So I grease them often and try not to get bearings wet when loading/unloading. Put new bearings in about 1997. They still roll smooth. No grinding or roughness.

Many leaf springs have a depression or hole for clip to nestle into. Mine does not. Guys at right way suggested pounding the round tab flat. Which I did. See flattened round tab in middle of clip. They also suggested cutting a hose to give the clip some grip. I cut a bicycle tube as you...

Right side problem child leaf springs now have a pair of kwick clips installed! wpm Xh Easier with tire removed.

Do not feel bad. I was out 12 days in salt before I caught my first real fish on a fly. I gathered as much I go as I could from fly shops, purchased and read 3 books on sea runs from local authors. Read up about sea runs here and you tube Just hard to crack the code. For me it seems I "feel"...

Thanks, Tom. That is what I assume would happen. Maybe I should wash my sinking lines with a microfiber cloth and warm dish soap water, then rinse it.

Great film!

Has anyone tried using line dressing like "glide" brand on intermediate sink lines? If so, does it affect the sink rate of the line? I use glide on all my old, worn out floating lines. It does wonders to allow line to cast farther and float higher.

Nice report. I never really thought about Florida flats fly fishing. Sounds like you and your master anglers ard dialed! Too bad they cannot figure out a way to make your success easier!

You are welcome. When I find a keeper, I like sharing..

Fished yesterday morning at a few popular beaches. Constant rain and a bit more wind than I was expecting kept others off the water. First was at a place with beer, food and former post office near a bridge. Nothing. Second was near a small top barista and Italian restaurant. Saw fish...

Most excellent Tom!

Thanks buzzy and Evan. I just downloaded the Wind finder app. Very helpful

Jojo thank you for caring and starting this thread. I miss Old Man!

it appears wind speed and direction is given for current time, but has been deleted in the hourly forecast. Am I missing something? Did AccuWeather stick forecasted wind speed and direction some other place? I used to use the forecast for winter salt and spring drift boat lake fishing. what...

Tom, i just saw this. Great job as always going after the fish!

Good luck on your new endeavor. Hope your new job allows more time on water and less warranty work with customers like me.

Ah I remember the Des Moines shop well. I bought an Orvis stripping basket that I still use and love today!!!

I am confused. Did you not see fly fish Dan's video timed before the closing of Anil's shop before it closed? If I remember Fly Fish Dan was very complementary of Anil and seemed sad to see Anil's plans to shut the shop down.
