Just over the border. This is a 9’6” Springbok which eventually became the Harborcraft Flyfisher. Weighs around 60lbs, 40” wide bottom. The bench seat on the transom on these old Springboks is nice for leg room and to put stuff on (also makes a stronger transom if u want to add transom wheels...

Yes, the cabinets were custom built with the desk. I believe the guy who built them stopped building about five years ago (those are about ten years old). I regret not buying two more while he was still building. I looked through my receipts/emails and can’t find his name which is not a surprise...

Ha ha - been working on that mess for at least 30 years.

I aspire to organize this mess.

I am seeing this type of tube design pop up more and more frequently. I've been watching the Decathlon Caperlan fltb9 develop for the past few months but it is not available in the US yet. I like the solid seat design on the fltb9 and it gets a solid recommendation from at least one guy from...

The drugs are very different these days, synthetic, low cost and powerful + increasing wealth disparity (record corporate profit taking) = recipe for disaster.

Dakota angler is good. Avid max has them. I like this technique for diy knotted legs, rubber and pheasant tail.

My Pass lake brown story - pass has a bomber hatch in the spring. Size 10 black chironomids. One spring I rowed out to the “trench” where the water is 25-30 ft and was fishing a full sink straight down under the boat. I had consistently been catching rainbows in 19-20 feet on smaller...

I have the Treeline version and it works well. I use aqua sphere swim training fins - made of a high density foam material that is super light weight. Everything in the pic below (waders, fins, net, tube, seat, reels) comes in right at 8lbs. I use a little battery powered usb pump to...

Cascade Crest new age chenille in size 0 works well (same size as the Flyfish food stonefly chenille w better color combos for wooley buggers). The 0 size is nice for wrapping a two layer (up and back) body. The Henry’s lake, red olive, excelsior olive and purple beaver color combos are fishy on...

I'm in the no hook keeper camp. Just had a 10 wt and a 3 wt built out last month. I was looking for a minimalist clean look - clear silk wraps, no trim, also no hook keepers on either rod. I never use them and don't like what they do to my leaders so I left them off.

5-10 lb lakers were through out the water column - under the surface to 50 feet. Anything over about 10lbs seemed to be at least 40 feet. Reports of 40 - 50 lbs at 70+ feet. They had just started to drop deep in the weeks leading up to our trip. I was getting to 30 ft w weighted flies and my...

I had the opportunity to join my brothers annual Canada North fishing trip. Five guys fishing gear and me with flies. Lake trout, pike, walleye, and grayling were on the list at the lake this year. Main targets were big pike and lake trout on large flies. I brought two ten weight rods mainly for...

The Wonderland trail has some good ones. Someone mentioned the one at Indian bar. On a clear day this one has a great view of the Carbon glacier. It’s at the Dick Creek campsite.

7.3L at a BC lake and in Utah last fall.

I use a Transformer as my desk vise and so I permanently mounted it with a base mount from Jvise that is screwed to my desk. I also tie over my lap so I use it with the renzetti lap extension so I can sit back in my chair and not lean over the desk. I like your idea of picking a custom piece of...

Yes

I have a N Saskatchewan trip coming up in June so tying new-to-me pike rigs w predator tails on tubes. Cutting/shaping foam underbodies for bulk and (hopefully) neutral buoyancy so the head doesn't sink. Haven't finished the actual tube flies yet - bucktail, flash, and nyat for those. Also new...

This guy is hoarding the good stuff.

I find the cheap flat “tape” eyes to be more durable than most of the “3D” eyes. The “3D” eyes will often eventually detach from whatever foil/paper stuff they are built on even when they are glued on to the fly. I’ve also started using “tab” eyes that I found on eBay. They have a little tab...
