The fifth drawer on the third rack from the left is misfiled

QUICK TIE HEX Unlike most Hex patterns, this is a very easy not complex recipe. Each fly only takes a few minutes to complete. Allegedly it is a "cripple". It does catch fish. Hook-Dry Fly # 10 (your choice) Thread-Yellow Lower Body 2mm Yellow Foam Upper Body 2mm Brown foam Tail Moose Body...

Pretty much my belief is that if the campers are not actively fishing (and not waiting a hatch to start) then its ok to fish through.

You might try Meguiar's Whole Car refresher. I used to stuff to kill odor of wet dog that rolled into a dead racoon. It worked "well" and was pretty cheap. Plus, I learned that you can wash neoprene car covers in a front loader, no matter what CoverKing said...

Great story about Klamath Kayakers using dam removal to allow their journey to happen https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/us/klamath-river-kayak-indigenous-tribes.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Pk8.5-NQ.OWyi_3dA33VT&smid=url-share

Purple Haze, Rusty Spinner

Saddest story I ever turd.

I don't have a pic as I never take phone in canoe, but I caught a fair number of Largemouth Bass on a Purple Haze Dun last week. I saw a dark Mayfly in the air which I believed to be a Slate Drake (Isonychia) so I tied on a #12 Purple Haze. One of the Bass was in the 2lb plus range which is...

Wait, somebody trying to scam me on the internet? I'm shocked, just shocked!

If its corroded from salt, I would suggest using PB Blaster. It's an automotive product, but the best thing I know of to "unstuck" stuff. It is petroleum based so you will have to wash post use. I would then use one of the many available zipper lubes after each salt dunk.

That's the great thing about fly fishing. The next day that fly might not work, even if you tied a stick of dynamite to the hook.

I would have to duck tape my labs to a tree to try and keep them out of the water

https://wapo.st/4mU7QtS Personally, I look like a fishing magazine cover from 1955, but I still catch fish

I was hoping for stories about the different type of cougars

Cool stuff is one of the reasons I get on the water. I have seen Bald Eagles take fish right in front of me, Great Blue Herons stalk fish right by me, watched a Bull Moose with full antlers wade across a river within 20 yards, saw a Lynx chasing a rabbit into the water, watched a big Brown...

I have a '19 Forester that I bought new. I got the extended warranty and just used it for the first time for the first repair beyond maintenance. The front bushings were damaged (salt/new england/who knows). It has been a reliable vehicle and I would recommend it. However, it should NEVER be...

Atlantic Salmon feather

I have a Presentation model. I had been tying for at least half a century using a Thompson Model A and then an HMH Standard. I did not know that I needed a rotary vise until I used one. Much improved flies and greater ease of wrapping. I got the Presentation as I found the Traveller to be too...

Thanks, Its a good thing they did not make it complicated! I mean, in the previous version you could just spend 30 seconds looking it up
