    Issue with Breaking Off Second Fly

    I keep it simple, tying the primary fly with a 6 turn lubricated slip knot leaving a 12" to 18" tag end and tie the dropper to that.

    What is Your Fondest Memory When Fishing?

    Never met my biological father, and a succession of step-fathers with no interest in the outdoors cycled through what was a rocky childhood. So when I became a father, married to a wonderfully supportive and loving woman, nothing was more important to me than providing our kids with the home...

    I truly don't understand the physics of fly line backlashes

    NFR World Cup

    excellent win for Spain, was certainly the better team. Argentina players going after Spanish players post-game, however, was such a bad look...and apparently not uncommon when they have taken a loss.

    Carey Special fishing techniques

    Tied with a thin red collar it's a go to at a Crane Prairie channel I frequent early and late in the season (during warm months I attend the volcano lakes for their fish protecting colder water temps).

    was at the urologist on Wed for a procedure, and ended up chatting with 'Wally' for a while. 100 years old and full of energy signifying his Christianity. Pretty sure he might have baptized me before he left. If there is a heaven, Wally is a lock.

    FABs (foam arse blob)

    Occasionally I'll resort to a deep line set-up when shallower presentations just aren't working. Anchor in 30' of water that is marking fish towards the bottom, type 5 goes over the side with a 6' leader w/bloodworm on the end and a chartreuse FAB 3' up, plant the bloodworm just off the muck...

    If MPG is the goal, hybrid's the way to go. My friend just drove to Bend from the coast in their AWD Sienna hybrid loaded with kids and gear and got 35 MPG. And the reliability of hybrid CVT's is superior as well. Per Consumer Reports the top 3 in reliability remain Toyota, Honda and Subaru...

    An independent mechanic I think highly of strongly recommends purchasing extended warranties with any new or used car due to the extreme cost of parts these days paired with labor rates to $200+ an hour.
