Thank you for posting all of the photos Billy!

Just completed this painting. My daughter went to Japan last month and I painted this birthday card for her.

Not giving it up completely, just selling a lot of things I don’t want to keep in storage. My wife and I plan to return to the Seattle area about every four months for a week or so.

Going to retire in Mazatlan, Mex in July or August once our home sells. Selling all of my fly fishing gear and fly tying tools and materials.

I use plano boxes for my larger dry flies as well.

You might consider donating some gear to Project Healing Waters for military vets.

I agree! There is so much more to enjoy and pay attention to.

Whenever I have stretched fly line I unreel the whole thing and take a hair drier to it stretching out 3 foot segments at a time. This works for me.

I needed the bye week to avoid feeling disappointed.

In the late 70’s I went with the recommended 9’ 5 wt, but I fished the east side of the state mainly. I then realized in, the last 15 years, that since I mainly fish stillwater on the west side for trout, I prefer a 9 1/2’ 4 wt. Selection for a beginner would be a 9 1/2’ 4 piece 5wt.

Oh heck, I was fooled and thought he had 12 totes!

For freshwater lakes sinking lines the best I had was Cortland 444. My Rio sink lines tangled too much, so, I went to SA. SA is also my floating line. Leaders and tippets are Rio.

I have everything you need including thread, feathers, materials, hooks, etc. and haven’t tied in over a year. I will also be moving to Mazatlan in a year because I am retired . PM me

I was wondering too.

I have been using an SAE connector for several years with my Minn Kita Endurance 30lb thrust. No issues for this sized motor.

I doubt it. Over the years I have had orange, neon green, salmon colored and dull yellow floating lines. All have done their job landing fish.

What a beast of a trout Billy! It must’ve been a thrill landing it. Congratulations!
