    Stuck Zipper on G3 from Salt

    If its corroded from salt, I would suggest using PB Blaster. It's an automotive product, but the best thing I know of to "unstuck" stuff. It is petroleum based so you will have to wash post use. I would then use one of the many available zipper lubes after each salt dunk.

    this fly was on fire

    That's the great thing about fly fishing. The next day that fly might not work, even if you tied a stick of dynamite to the hook.

    Rotary vise recs

    I have a Presentation model. I had been tying for at least half a century using a Thompson Model A and then an HMH Standard. I did not know that I needed a rotary vise until I used one. Much improved flies and greater ease of wrapping. I got the Presentation as I found the Traveller to be too...

    Drowned Quills

    I saw them at my local shop. I thought the material to be too narrow to be useful. There is a "quick tie" video on YouTube using the synthetic for Blue Quills, but as I tie the fly as a parachute the quick tie recipe does not work for me. I do use Antron for the post instead of calf as I find...
