    Harry Lemire Day

    Dave, thank you for making me think of Harry. I'm glad you had a good day even without a tug. I decided to tie a Golden Edge Orange in hand this morning in memory of Harry

    Dave you're a bad influence. I'm now thinking I need a new to me old reel on my bamboo and probably 1 or 2 more boo sticks with reels too

    2026 goals- Fishy edition

    Fish that slew with Dave to figure out those cut's. In all seriousness, I just want to get back to fishing after taking a break for a while. Re connect with some of my fishing buddies and possibly make some new ones.

    Favorite Fly To Tie?

    Much like Dave Westburg, when I tie purely for the sake of tying, I venture to the classic’s. The techniques used trickle down to just about everything I tie.

    Found an old reference to solve a similar issue making a substitute florican bustard feather using markers as well. https://feathersmc.com/SALFLYER/vol_1/summer/florican.html

    Barred Marabou Hack

    Interesting and easy concept. How well do the colors hold up when fished? I see that Zucker Feather Products sells a barred marabou in 1 oz bulk. Maybe the white barred then dye the secondary colors. Very likely a lot of poor-quality feathers to go through to get the good ones but its...

    How cool is this..

    How about a kayak that doubles as home decorations. I wouldn't mind a 12' pedal sit on top kayak that comes apart into two pieces.

    Rod tip issue

    I think I would order a new tip then replace the worn tip myself. Haven broken a tip section or two having a back up tip is a nice to have. Tip top usually can be removed with a little heat like a short exposure to the flame of a lighter. Source a replacement top. Clean the tip and glue...

    Best adhesive to reinforce level leech pin thread wraps?

    I would use a tying wax (not dubbing wax) on the tread with a base layer on the hook and wax the thread when binding the pin to the hook as well. If I had to use an adhesive, I would probably go with a thin UV adhesive for ease. Using wax would require figuring out the balance point prior to...
