Then go somewhere else. Off to the East side with some buds to a pay to play lake. Weather is meant to be good and only 6 mph winds predicted….I use that term loosely for wind reports, especially on the East 😀 Report to come. Dave

You lucky bastard 😀. Thanks for sharing with us. Stunning, across the board. Dave

Loving your reports on what looks like a wonderful trip. Please keep ‘em coming. Dave

I like this thinking. I typically fish two Chironomids one on a dropper about 2’ up from the point. Fish two rods one on the bottom and the other 4’ off. This gives a greater spread so to speak. I do think getting ‘in the zone’ is more important than the exact fly to a degree and this would...

That’s exactly what Treefrog said…Time will tell I guess. Dave

I lose a few fish to roping including my best this year as it swam by and hit the rope. I just bought two new lovely 30’ ropes and they are white, like super white. Is it worth dying them? Treefrog, my bud, thinks I’m being daft but I wonder if dyed a darker color they would not be the break-off...

You're shucked... Dave

Yeah I’d like to get a couple of fork junctions to slip in and then bolt them down together with my motor ones. Got clips for now but easy to swap out, couldn’t find the right size forks at Lowes which is not surprising as they have crap stocks for a lot of things. Dave

It's a 11'6" Journey jon boat. I have a 12V battery that I use for my electric motor and was going to hook it up to that too as its a 100Ahr one. By the transom there is a 2" hole through which I run the motor cables to the battery. I have Scotty female mounts at each corner so the finder...

Thanks Evan! A dumb Q but what do you mean by a switch? Eg I was thinking crocodile or similar clips to my battery and that was it. What am I missing as a dolt. Dave

I treated my myself to an early birthday gift with a Garmin 7” finder. The thing is there’s instructions to set up the transducer, instructions on running the daft thing but nada on just hooking it to power, or at least what I can see… So, I have pos and neg wires and then brown and blue? Does...

As a kid I grew up in Fort Augustus, a little village in thr middle of the great glen in the Scottish highlands. A series of lock gates ran through town and we fished them most days, essentially they were a big river as each gate had a ton of seams. The issue was always if you got a fish you...

Or this it is becoming quite common it seems. Anyway, I’m jealous of those who go. Please send reports so I can live vicariously through you. I reckon a maple sticker would go a long way and of course being polite, which we should all be anyway. Dave...

If you are not a US citizen that may not be 100%. As a green card holder it is not clear to me at all. I’m as honest as they come or at least I am a law abiding citizen but there’s a fear re coming back to my home that should not exist. As I’d noted earlier I’m frustrated as I bought a boat to...

If you go and like to fish mids, small re sz 16 or 18 are good. Black, brown, of dark olive. Pumped fish had lots of daphnia so blobs may work but I didn’t try them this early.. Just off the bottom worked am but higher up to 6-8 ‘ from the bobber worked for others later on. Dave

Oh it is, a lot of fun to make and a lot cheaper, it’s fun to make your own stuff and with time you get better as you learn. Yrs ago our legend Jerry D sold me 2 whole pigs he’d raised and I made prosciutto out of the haunches I kept. Both were epic, salting, temp and really time were key. Dave

Carbonara being made by my son who’s home on spring break. Home made guanciale about to be fried up and the egg/cheese mix. Starving so not sure if thd final shot will be taken. He has it down so egg does not scramble. Dave

Taking advantage of the tail end of a nice day and now being off work till next Tuesday…Lone beckons 😀 A negroni and a love story to seal the deal. Dave

Being Scottish this one uses what we call ‘mince’, sounds delicious…and hence cottage veraus shepherd’s pie. Ko Ground beef with carrots and onions with stock, cooked up and thickened with Bisto to brown/thicken. Have made 50:50 with ground lamb. Also wonderful and a bit deeper in flavour as...

Really should being the what are you going to eat?…guanciale after 2 weeks in the fridge with salts, pepper and other herbs to build in flavour. Berkshire pork so very fatty too. Now washed and dried off with a light dusting of pepper and juniper powder to hang in our crawl space fro 5-6 weeks...
