Thanks Rob. So, if you're camped for one week in 90 degree weather, how long would you expect this cooler to keep ice from melting away?

Hello, I'm in the market for a cooler for a new camper I'm having built. Up until now I've simply used the cheap Coleman types of coolers for camping, but I've grown tired of having to drive to a store every 2-3 days to empty out the melted ice water and associated scum and buy new ice. I've...

Thanks for the tips, Krusty, very helpful.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I appreciate your thoughts on this.

Has anyone ever used these rod carriers before, or ones like them? I'm curious as to how well they work. I am purchasing a new camper for my truck and wanted to put some type of a rod rack on top, rather than disassemble/reassemble my fly rod every time I stop to fish while drive-by angling...

Ditto - I fish your Phillipson Peerless 7-1/2ft, 5wt rod whenever I can. And come out to not only fish, but chase some chukar, as well.

Thak you, Greg. I appreciate your advice.

I'll do that, Russell, thanks for the tip.

Thank you, Ron. I need to renew my login and password there, but I'll give it a go. Appreciate the tip.

Always wonderful to learn more, thank you.

Think so? I have no idea, I'm just going on what the seller told me. Thanks for your tip. Hey, I saw your Montana fishing report, pretty darned cool! That's the land of my ancestors. I'm Bitterroot Salish.

No, not fleabay, but an online retailer. I haven't purchased it yet. Still trying to figure out if its a good deal.

Guys, I found this Hardy online. What do you think? It's from the late 1950's, so not a pre-war Hardy. Two extra spools. 3-1/8" spool, 1-5/16th frame width, 5.8 oz. $400.00. What do you think? It was be used mostly with that Granger Favorite 8642 and similar sized rods.

Ron, I am excited. I'm going to try and make it to the upper Yak next week and wet a line. Thanks for mentioning the alternative reels there might be a good idea. Its much appreciated!

Great job! That's a beautiful reel.

Oh, I love MedaLUSTS, and I've that one plus another half dozen. Onward & Upward.......

Guys, I want to thank all of you for your input. There are some really helpful suggestions here. I'm especially encouraged by the non-Hardy suggestions, although I'm still leaning toward the Perfect. Now I have to decide between old and new. Thanks again!

Para Adams was gracious enough to allow me to relieve him of two beautiful vintage bamboo rods this morning. I've been a Medalist guy my entire fly fishing career, being the Chevrolet Biscayne of fly reels was sort of appropriate for me. But now that I have some really snazzy lumber in my...

Beautiful area and gorgeous fish. And some snazzy bamboo, too.
