I don't take any umbrage at the comments to my post

This study goes back to 2015, but is still interesting. I always knew there was a reason I was so smart https://hms.harvard.edu/news-events/publications-archive/brain/fly-fishing-brain

NFR (maybe it is if you use your vehicle to go to water) Pennzoil $20 & 30 dollar rebate on engine oil. https://www.pennzoil.com/en_us/promotions.html#iframe=L3NvcHVzL3Blbm56b2lsL25ld3NsZXR0ZXI=

They want $195 to fix my ZXL as a "legacy" model. Plus $30 for shipping. Just nuts! I bought a used one instead off Craigs List for $275. Now I have a working rod + 3 sections from my original rod as spares.

Even though I really like Sage rods I have given up on buying any new ones. When the cost of repair with shipping amounted to about $200 on my older rods I decided not to buy anymore new items from them. When purchased, the rods had a lifetime warranty and I have yet to understand how a...

This is the pattern I have used for many years. It's very simple (essentially an orange EHK) and quick to tie. Not fancy, but does catch fish.

I still go to a "barber". No appointment, just sit your rear in a chair until it's your turn. $ 15 for the cut (senior rate) and then a $5 tip.

I suspect it's just my paranoia, but I would never identify what credit card I use in an open forum

Just got my squatch shirt. I wore it at the gym and had to explain to more than one person what "PNW" means. Good quality & appropriately sized.

A perfect example or why tying is cheaper than buying flies (as if);)

Easy, cheap elegant fix for mine pollution runoff. I suspect it would work elsewhere (Butte?). Nice to see a good story for a change https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/06/25/climate/west-virginia-pollution-cleanup-coal-mine.html?unlocked_article_code=1.S08.nRNU.yTMJtporu1eE&smid=url-share

Another share from WAPO that I can't guarantee will work Is this "better" than farmed Salmon? Is this the start of Frankenfish? If you can grow fish in the lab, why try to save wild species? At least they are using Pacific species as the basis for their cell lines https://wapo.st/444Dv4i

This is a Wash Post share, so it should be available, but I can't guarantee. It is an interesting look at activism as it involves the Elwha River restoration vs logging https://wapo.st/3I5px9D

I try to have as much sex as I can.

Get your superglue at Harbor Freight. You can get a 10 pack of gel glue for about $5.

Contact your local TU chapter and/or fly shops. Most (all?) sponsor tying classes. Also, check Craigs List for local sales of vises. Don't spend a ton of money on your first vise. Get a feel for the "art" before making a large money commitment
