    Fix a slow leak in boat trailer tire?

    With a side wall crack, it would be best to look at replacing the tire with a new one. Another option for a small leak would be to try a qwik repair with a "Aersol Emergency Flat Tire Repair and Inflator". Not sure if you could call it a permenent fix but just another option to consider. Amazon...

    NFR Bird Watching for Beginners?

    I'm thinking that your daughter may already have a book on birds but I found this book to be invaluable for bird identification and taking out to the field. It comes specifically for different areas of the country. The pictures in it are very detailed making ID quite simple. You may be able to...

    Small Personal Craft for Rivers

    With your Subaru, were you looking at trailering, placing it on top or inside. With the trailering you could go with a 1 to 2 person boat or inflatable but if on top or inside I'm thinking a one person inflatable would be your limit. How important is it to have a 2 person boat instead of a...

    Any Recommendations for a Roof Mounted Awning?

    If it's not too late, see if where you're buying the Thule Crossbars and Storage Box if they can give you a better price as in a package deal if you're buying the Thule awning at the same time. They should offer you a much better deal since you're buying so much at the same time, no harm in...

    Any Recommendations for a Roof Mounted Awning?

    I think that your best bet would be to go with a Thule Outland Awning. They're a bit pricey but come with a great pedigree for quality and endurance plus easier to open/close on your own. If you have a roof rack already on your Outback then it should be relatively easier to install. When getting...

    NFR Humor (No political jokes)

    That's got to be a brain tease.. Is he in a drunken stupor, disappointed at what he finds in his pants or just confused on what to do next..? Maybe trying to decide whether to change from using supenders to changing back to using a belt..? :unsure:

    YES SIR SON

    Good point in the standing away from the shoreline when fishing the weed line. Fish are spooky and if you cast a shadow, they're long gone..

    “ gun control “

    I'm a Canadian not American so the rules in Canada maybe different then in the US. You make valid points and I think the ease with obtaining firearms could be the biggest issue. There are a lot of people that have no clue on how to safely handle or store firearms and as such shouldn't be allowed...

    Brand New to Fly Tying

    Welcome and GREAT job on tying your first fly. Hopefully these will be for yourself to use on the water but you could share with @Josh. Be selective on the type of flies towards the fish you'll be targeting. BTW, what was the vintage that came with the cork..? I haven't tried American Vintage so...

    Brand New to Fly Tying

    New to fly tying so it might be a silly question but what sort of steamer do you use for steaming feathers..? Is it something small that can easily be taken on road trips..? I searched and found this one steamer which may do the trick but it's more geared towards hat steaming which might be...

    Is Anywhere Safe Anymore?

    Very true, that goes the same with roads. In Michigan the roads and freeways are filled with dangerous pot holes that the budgets are stretched to repair. Officials don't want to jeopardize their bonus checks to pay for road repairs. So now they've started discussing ways of turning them into...

    Any Recommendations for a Roof Mounted Awning?

    Might be a bit of over-kill but have you considered or looked at tailgate awnings..? I'm thinking that with either awning you decide to go with, you may encounter problems with rain pooling up and causing the center to sag from the weight of the water unless you can devise a center ridge line to...

    The Last Guide

    Great video and story he tells, he's become a Canadian legend. In my younger years I went canoe tripping many times in Algonquin Park. I haven't been there in the past 30 years but I image that it's become quite congested with tourists, not like when I went in my youth. Like how most places...
