This, new to me, gel superglue is turning out to be a valuable item in my fly tying, rod building and honey-do tool kit. Very easy to control without making a big mess..just a heads up..

I’ve had two 4# intermediate lines and neither one would sink properly. So I now use a type 3 with success. Perhaps those lighter weight lines are just to physically light to work.? Using unweighted flies or beadheads as needed work to get you to the desired depth..

I tried my trial run on Ward Lake which has depths up to 70’ and mainly plunges right off the shore to 20’. Quite an eye opener. I didn’t fish much, just rowed around looking to spot some fish. I’ve fished there for years and found the sounder verified my experience there. There was a big school...

Just got my new Territorial Seed catalog. Making a list and checking it twice. I’m still harvesting carrots from my beds.. I overseeded micro clover into my parking strip this Fall and have to say it’s thriving. It’s an experiment with hope to use on my pitiful lawn..I hate f—ing lawns..

The Fly Shack, overstock lines intermediate and type 3. I have a 4#-type 3 and like it and the low price..

There’s some fun smaller lakes just over the hill in the Big Hole.. The inlet mouth of Painted Rocks Res. during June..! Is Como Lake good anymore? Sure is pretty…

The thing about Georgetown lake is, it’s much farther down the road than Hamilton is. You can get there or back from Hamilton over a rough road or backtrack to Missoula and then South to Hamilton.

My grandpa and father were rough and tough, hard rock silver miners in the mountains of Utah, not what you could call Elitist, but man, they could fly-fish. So I’m taking my wife for a rare fishing trip to an old family favorite creek. It’s an open reg. water and I’m wet wading. End of the day...

App’s Bloodworm

Excuse me in advance as I’m not sure of the ethics of posting this..but I’ll be building both a 8’6”/4# and a 9’/5#, from a No. Fork Composite Classic Series blank in Moderate flex this Winter. They may be a good fit for you for not too much cash. Just a thought..

That would be a great panfish fly..

With my aches and pains Ive watched a migration of my fishing style. Fishing saltwater from the shore was my longtime passion but as my legs slowly deteriorated (arthritis) I just couldn’t take the wading and long hikes as well and noticed a reluctance to go as often. I bought a pram and started...

I agree. Right now I’m trying to learn and become efficient in a, new to me, technique. Got to take a few lumps on my journey..

I think l just need to be more patient and let it get down there.

A Phil Rowley video I watched says, to allow at the minimum 30sec. and preferably, 1min. before you start, as he put it, a painfully slow retrieve. I’ll try a longer sit time, as you advise, before retrieval. Bloodworms are working now and I got to get on the bottom..

I know that indicators are without a doubt the best way to control the depth of your presentation. Using the countdown method with a sinking line works well too. What I need help with, is to know how deep your bloodworm or other fly is when using a tight line, naked technique. Supposedly you add...

Well I’ve finally pried open the purse and bought a Striker 4 portable kit. Now I’ll just need to learn how to operate it. It definitely has more functions than I’ll ever need. It goes against my mantra of “simplify”, but if it gives me some pleasure, so be it..

In Winter I purposely get a late start. Two sessions ago, I picked up a couple quick fish and then it was slow the rest of the day, so I started a bit earlier the next time and again a few more quick sunrise fish then nothing. I really have no desire to go early but if things don’t improve I...
