    Sure I could use a set, Shi[pping to 98052 would be not a problem.

    Gone locally…Backpacking stove

    I have to say that I believe the fuel cans will be listed as hazardous, you might have a hard time shipping those.

    Took the Bamboo plunge

    I like the 406 lines because they feel thinner than most other lines I have. The lines feel like there is less wind resistance because of the thinner diameter and carry the cast farther because of it. I think they feel as close to a silk line as you can get with a plastic line. If you are...

    Took the Bamboo plunge

    It's surprising how different lines from different manufactures will cast on a bamboo fly rod (I like 406 Fly Lines myself, no financial interest). Looks like you will have a nice balance with your Thompson 100 choice you have mounted. To easily sample many different lines just leave the...

    Bamboo Fling June 9th - what'cha bringing?

    Put me down to cast Ray's RR166, I don't remember casting it last year if you brought it. That being said I don't remember a lot of things now in my older years, must be the signs of the misspent years of my youth🤣

    Bamboo Fling June 9th - what'cha bringing?

    My taper is similar in the stress graphs to Ray Gould's RR166 and his RR171. My first attempt to design a similar taper at 7'10" in a 5wt turned out to be happy with a 6 or 7wt line instead. I met Ray for lunch one day in Bothell and he cast the first try and cast the new taper after lunch at...
