So I’m on my daily 6-8 mile trek minding my own business just north of Little Round Top and I happen glance to the right and I see this guy waiting for the light to change on Sedgewick Ave. Eastern Rat Catcher. He was a good 6+’ trying to hide from me. Couldn’t get all of him in one frame...

Tierra Del Fuego 1985 Pan Am JFK / Buenos Aires R/T $389 Aerolineas BA / Viedma / Rio Gallegos / Ushuaia RT on a 14 day ticket $150+/-. Think Subway pass. When you could knock / ask & fish for less than a second mortgage & first born and get by on $50 US/day. It’s just me but the last couple...

Bummer…….I thought we were discussing Paul Young’s rods, especially his Parabolic 15 line. Flexed down to the cap & ring but what a smooth recoil when you captured the right moment to proceed forward. I’ll let myself out, thx.

Rich, are you packing & shipping or packing and hauling them yourself? If you’re shipping them and you do not have the original boxes they came with go with @DimeBrite rec of foam, packed in sturdy cardboard boxes, taped securely and marked on four sides “Diapers/Bathroom”. Think Churchill and...

I’ve found if you’ve been away from the tying, wrapping, cutting, smoothing, etc, for some time the muscle/ brain memory function has basically short circuited. Understand you are starting over but the basics are still implanted. I would get so ticked off when starting again after about five...

I’ve got more Pelican notches on my 10 wts than Ringo had on his .45! Always had a heavy Pelican towel for C&R on board. They have ZERO sense of humor. Sounds like you had a good time @goinoregon. There’s times I’d rather have more than bigger.

I’ll take Togo and the points. Just kidding. I’m fond of Argentina due to people food wine & TROUT. Chile also for the same reasons. Now that I think of it I have to include Norway for the Atlantic Salmon and definitely New Zealand for Trout and their cool accent. I do enjoy watching the...

Happy Belated Birthday Mark. It doesn’t get any easier……but it’s better than a Full Stop.

Juvenile Force Field. In that image they are in the process of transitioning.

In the tubes or sleeves only? If tubes, that’s a shitload of aluminum….or Al..ooo..min..E..um as spoken across the pond says the wife from G/B. Good Luck Jake, May the wind be from the correct side and your flies float high. Veilige reis!

I was on my way to Salem Oregon with a HyGrade load from Storm Lake Ia. Stopped in Rawlins Wy for fuel and a check call. I was told to hold in SLC and call Nampa at 6 PM. I was told, after hearing some information about it on the am/fm, that Mother Earth blew a gasket that morning at Mt St...

Last Saturday we had a Kids (up to 10 y/o) Fishing Derby and had prizes for heaviest, longest, biggest, ugliest, fish, not judges, etc. we stocked 250 rainbows & Palomino Trout (don’t ask) at 0600 and the show started at 0800. The parent(s) had to stay within speaking distance of their...

Lesson #1A - Never ship a rod in a round tube with USPS. Everything goes in bins or on racks by algorithms. Three Day Priority / 1 State Away with online notifications for a rebuild. For 10 Days: Local/Knoxville/Richmond/Knoxville/Richmond/Knoxville/Richmond………….ad nauseam. Called Knoxville told...

I was told via a DM late yesterday all was good. Made my day along with some hard earned fish. Slept the sleep of those who wade upstream @ 75+. 😴
