    Thanks for the post. Mosquitos love me. At any outdoor event...if there are mosquitos present, I'll be the first to know. I'm like a friggin mosquito indicator. I've always been that way. Even as a farm kid, spending more time outside than anyone I knew. So in the 80s and 90s I had the 100%...

    Haha! I'm just giving you a hard time. It is confusing and that's the reason I say "half wells isn't really a thing". What I mean by that is this- Try and find one to buy. It is very hard to find anyone that sells a "half wells" grip or a rod with a half wells grip. Most makers of cork grips or...

    Hilariously overpriced used item listings around the internet

    Overlanders (most, not all) are THE overpaying group of the century. They've won. Game over.

    @Matt B my forum name is skyriver. Poor skyrise is innocent here. 😁 Here is how modern fly rod makers label the grips these days. No offense @Chucker but those are friggin ancient. 😁 All these grips are presented as if the rod it pointed up. So reel seat down, rod tip up. Here we go... pay...

    Outcast boats

    Not sure when you started looking, but it's almost July. Outcast, along with every other good raft & pontoon company, will be low or out of stock. This is literally the toughest time of year to find boats in stock. In other words... you're late! 🙂 I would buy a used one cheap off FB and if...

    Wheel bearing protectors flying off

    Thanks guys. Yeah, my lug nuts are in correctly. Guess we'll see if I lose the other one.

    For 6wt and lower I prefer reverse half wells/western. Yes, they're the same. Some will say that a western is different because it might be thicker at the front than a reverse half wells, but they are effectively the same. I like full wells for 7wt and bigger, but it seems many of the newer...

    Wheel bearing protectors flying off

    So I'm not the only one I guess. Just lost a brand new stainless one on a test run. Only about 8 miles on HWY 18. I pulled over to see if any heat. No heat and no friggin buddy on the right side. Ugh... So annoying. I have a standard 1.98 hub so using model 1980 stainless. I will say, I just...

    How many of you still use a double taper?

    I used DT for years for the basic 5wt dry or nymph setups, but finally threw out my last one back in January. It was a old Cortland peach that was probably 20 years old. It finally cracked. RIP Not sure if I'll ever buy another one. I'm guessing that at some point in the next 2-3 years, Rio or...
