Current. From last fall, looking at the Seminary. Yesterdays storm reminded me of it.

Lutefiske & Lefse for everyone!

I went to DC expecting the biggest, largest, most impressive fireworks display ever in the history of the world, Possibly universe and I found this: From Tyson’s Corner I thought this was the world’s largest Slim Jiim but on approach maybe a rectal thermometer then to our amazement it truly...

^^^^ Excellent idea on Telemundo!

96° on Hancock Avenue this morning. It was a rather warm death march of 7 miles.

Watched the first half. Thought US was a better team based upon the number smokers BiH normally has. After seeing the replay of Balogun’s red card call it looked like tangled legs to me. Iffy at best. Was forced to go the mute route at the 20 minute mark as the blathering announcers decided...

@Matt B And then you have a couple of the outliers to consider: Wes Jordan’s (Orvis) “Comficient” Grip with a modified Thumb Drive …… google it. Goodwin Granger Hammer Handle. Just what it sounds like. I believe Wes worked there initially. @Dave Westburg can fill you in on those.

Did the CPI Inflation calculation….’90 vs ‘26 = $891.79 in today’s $$. A lot of us have a soft spot in our heart for this generation of Sage rods vs current. Is it the rods themselves or the fact our shoulders, elbows, wrists and hands are 35+ years older?

Last night I showed my 16 yo nephew images of the AK trip last year including many of the Muncho area.. I described the drive from Fort Nelson to Watson Lake and the area around Muncho. His response: “I need to go there….” Say Hi to all the bears feeding roadside with their cubs doing the...

I’ve wondered about that right/right thing also. I came to the conclusion they only own left handed rods. Then again, what’s normal about this fishing with a fork thing? 😉 That’s problematic in and of itself!

Saw two of my old rods listed there. Memories. Funny, with the thread on rod grips, styles, and quality, Sage appears to have had better cork grips back then vs currently

Coach…. Do it! Do it before something rears its ugly head. You’re of the age where things you’ve never thought about can rear it’s ugly head, unannounced. My wife & I have been doing it 10+ years but without the camper trailer / motor home set up. We get along better in the truck, confined to...

Randy it’s interesting you say that. I’ve done a fair amount of saltwater deep jigging over wrecks and casting large poppers to breaking tuna. My rods of choice are primarily JDM rods made by Smith Ltd in Japan. They use an EVA foam with a density composition designed for the rods use. That is...

I might have some downstairs among my 20 lb collection of various S/W hooks. Having moved inland away from the salt and not tying at the moment I have them stored in my “b-I-d” section….before I die. Have company at the moment but if I can escape the cacophony at some point today I’ll get back...

Full Wells on anything in salt and large caliber fresh water 6 wt and up. Cigar on 4 wts and down where delicate casts are needed at times. I do not care for any Sage reverse half wells as they are too short & too small in diameter for my hands. Also, the cork they tend to use is let’s say...

Potential Darwin Award nominee…………

Welcome to the ‘hood Gary. When things are settled we’ll have enough for a poker game. As someone said above Pittsburgh has a lot going for it now. A lot going on downtown and surrounding area. Outdoor recreation opportunities everywhere, hunting, fishing, hiking, etc, and no state tax on...

Then the inevitable notification: “Due to large mass of the double taper fly line bodies we have been forced to increase…blah…blah……the situation unfortunately is beyond our control at this time. Current plans moving forward may also force a slight increase in the weight forward lines but...
