    My mechanic has me zip tie stinky laundry drier sheets all over my engine compartment after some wiring got munched. Seems to work as I’ve been incident free since. I change them twice per year..

    The good boat deal thread

    Yes. I almost bought one before finding my pram. Two very accomplished fishermen, (names saved to protect the innocent) use these down in Oly. They fit in the back of a small truck. Lightweight and tough. These guys are stout, but do great in these boats. On even uses a trolling motor.

    Question for Driftboat Lake Fishing concerning anchor techniques

    In my pram, I have the biggest anchor on the bow which I drop first. When it catches the boat swings and weathervanes into place. Then the smaller stern anchor is dropped. Because of my seating position to row, the stern is closest. Being broadside in my pram is no bueno..

    NFC/Edge Rod Warranty Report

My latest experience is bad. Ordered three blanks. Four and a half months later they ship two of them. WTF..I’ll...

    Chironomid Starting Lineup

    I’m having indecision on what to start the day with. With too many patterns to chose from and with lack of experience, I can’t decide. I don’t have any confidence in my choices and without instant gratification I’m lost. So what would you start with in Westside, lowland lakes.? How long do you...

    Intermediate lines

    I’ve heard some people say it coils a lot. I used a clear Cortland Int. for years and it coiled, but you could easily shake it out as you cast and it laid out nice and straight in the water. I’ve bought two new Cortland lines this year and really like them. Great products..

    Midge Tip vs Indicator Tip

    Received my new floating Indicator line from Cortland plus an intermediate polyleader last evening and got it installed. Cut the leader to six feet, added five feet of tippet to my first fly, a soft hares ear. Tied four more feet on to the bend and finished with a peacock herl soft hackle. Was...

    Midge Tip vs Indicator Tip

    After reading some English blogs, it seems a popular set-up is to use a floating line and add an intermediate polyleader for your midge tip. 5’ and 8’ seem most popular. So I’ll probably get the Cortland Indicator line with the high float, bright tip to help with visual movement and a 5’...

    Midge Tip vs Indicator Tip

    I’m in the market for a new line, to be mainly used for naked line sub-surface techniques. I’m really enjoying fishing this style. Right now I’m leaning towards a Cortland indicator line which features a high float, bright orange, 3’ tip. Using a tapered leader, this should be sensitive and easy...
