I’m just curious on the temps you’re getting on the beach? I just got back from a trip on the Oregon coast and when we are fishing we hunt for 50 degrees. Sometimes we have to run miles to find the temp and when we do we find fish. This years was odd 48 degrees was the ticket as the crab spawn...

Bacon is the best, use old school traps and tie down the bacon with fine mono. The smart one figure out peanut butter and bacon by far works every time for. I don’t like poison as you find them latter by smell. I have tried many methods and I have had my best luck with bacon.

I have fished silk lines and they are as Mike said fun to cast and they require a bit of work to use. I used Phoenix lines which are produced in the UK and back then they were pricey. A line dryer is necessary and during warm weather you may need to regrease during the day. I fished the lines...

I wasn’t able to make it, work got in the way. Sorry guys.

Thanks for posting this Mike, I meet Tim at the bamboo fling and he had an influence on my rod building. He came by my shop and he picked up some boo and he gave me some pointers on bamboo selection. I also didn’t know that he was part of the Atlantic Tyers guild. We talked tying Atlantic salmon...

Thanks for posting this Chris, I will send an email to her on this and I will also add it to my local legislators. Make sure we to add your local legislators as this will add more weight to our voice.

Picked up some materials and sent a tip hopefully it helps, great shop and really nice to see the thank you notes.

I may hit it on Saturday also, it was fun to see some old friends last year and hopefully woolridge will be there as I need to get my boat order in. I will hit it in the afternoon after I get off of work.

Here's a pic of a recent tie

Did you find someone to tie these, I’m not a commercial tier but I can tie these for you. I’m not trying to take any business from a commercial tier but if you need some let me know.

I could help you with this, and all the people listed are amazing. I would also recommend Joel Hill. Let me know the size you’re looking for and timeframe. I’m fishing this weekend and one last question do you plan on framing them or fishing. Feel free to PM me.

You need to suggest there next book to be feather thief. My wife suggested that I entertain them with some examples of the feathers. I was able to show them some flies and materials.

I would suggest contacting Solarez direct as I have been using there products for quite some time and I had and issue with a rechargeable light and they took care of it. Is the light rechargeable or battery operated? If it’s a battery operated check the battery or replace them if the show any...

I would highly recommend this gathering as there is a wealth of knowledge and I have benefited from there generous support. I’m on my 6th rod and it’s a learning experience to build a bamboo rod and I would highly recommend giving it a shot. And if there is any help I can provide let me know but...

Sorry for using the wrong term Tim, fling what you want and use whatever rod you want to fling with just don’t put any hooks on your flinger. As I’m to old to end up with an ear ring or nose ring that’s more of a younger generation thing. Your flingers are way better than mine so hopefully you...

Thanks Kado, I have been playing around with scalloping and so far my two handers are not bad on weight. I plan on using a hardwood lower handle on the 10 ft 6 wght which will be small and with the right reel should balance the swing weight. I have a 9ft 4inch 6 weight that I use for sea run...

I think I’m good with may 3rd also, I will have some new toys to play with. I’m working on a 12 1/2 ft 6/7 and a 14 ft 6/7. I have parts started on my first single hander which I’m shooting for a 10 ft to 10 1/2 ft 6 wght.

Hey guys do we have any thoughts on timing for this year. I have always enjoyed these events and figured it was time to start this conversation.

Nice job Mike I’m just learning how to build reel seat components and your work is very clean. I may try resorcinol on one of my future builds as I have been using titebond 3 and the working time is sporty and there is no time for error. Do you turn your ferrules also as I change to building...
