Never had an issue with my polarized Raybans. I just use some dish detergent and hot water. Then I use a soft cloth to dry. Works great, removes face and hand slime plus whatever food I drip on them when they are in my pocket.

Not to hijack the thread, but my favorite TR quote: We are face to face with our destiny and we must meet it with a high and resolute courage. For us is the life of action, of strenuous performance of duty; let us live in the harness, striving mightily; let us rather run the risk of wearing out...

Anyone have an idea of cost? I tried to find it on their website but had no luck.

Thats a picture of my last camping trip (I'm the one in the tunic). It happens all the time when I camp at the river. What's the big deal?

I use a pair of polarized bi-focal glasses for about 90% of my fishing. When it gets too dark, or I when am tying a real small fly I use a pair of cheaters @ 1.5x that I carry in my shirt pocket. This system works for me, but don't know if anyone else will have the same results.

Sometimes you just have to cut the hook off and let the trout be. Digging out a deeply swallowed hook is very bad for the fish. Other than that, a really good story about your first fish

Bone Meal (Calcium Phosphate) is a cheap and easy solution to calcium problems. Simply dust around your plants a few times per season.

I tie the unsinkabeetle. It is a generic all-purpose high float beetle/hopper pattern. I tie tan and green varieties. Another easy tie that catches fish.

I never take my cane rods in boats. Bad things happen to rods in boats!

I don't take any umbrage at the comments to my post

This study goes back to 2015, but is still interesting. I always knew there was a reason I was so smart https://hms.harvard.edu/news-events/publications-archive/brain/fly-fishing-brain

NFR (maybe it is if you use your vehicle to go to water) Pennzoil $20 & 30 dollar rebate on engine oil. https://www.pennzoil.com/en_us/promotions.html#iframe=L3NvcHVzL3Blbm56b2lsL25ld3NsZXR0ZXI=

They want $195 to fix my ZXL as a "legacy" model. Plus $30 for shipping. Just nuts! I bought a used one instead off Craigs List for $275. Now I have a working rod + 3 sections from my original rod as spares.

Even though I really like Sage rods I have given up on buying any new ones. When the cost of repair with shipping amounted to about $200 on my older rods I decided not to buy anymore new items from them. When purchased, the rods had a lifetime warranty and I have yet to understand how a...

This is the pattern I have used for many years. It's very simple (essentially an orange EHK) and quick to tie. Not fancy, but does catch fish.

I still go to a "barber". No appointment, just sit your rear in a chair until it's your turn. $ 15 for the cut (senior rate) and then a $5 tip.

I suspect it's just my paranoia, but I would never identify what credit card I use in an open forum
