Maybe not kosher to ask, but wondering if a Hobie kayak with its wheels can reach the lakes from the parking lots. I’d like to camp overnight just to see these lakes for myself, but don’t want to bring the kayak if not worth it (when they’re open). Thanks, Mark

Awesome! Absolutely awesome!

Really nice! Your friend still has time to maybe hook a winter run too.....although he might have to break it off : ).

Agree...nice presentation. Still not sure where to put the swivel? Good to have the show back and seemed well attended. A nice mix of vendors.

Nicely done! My buddy and I are heading there next weekend. I wanted to tie up a few flies. Size 4 stingers? Thanks, Mark

Thanks so much. I'll PM you

I would love to see if I can use this book, but just to let you know, it seems to be worth quite a bit of money on eBay. Mark

You probably know this, but my sciatica issues disappeared once I stopped having my wallet in my back pocket.

I bet we all remember our first! Congrats! Probably weren't too many other crazy dudes out there with the rivers so high. My buddy got his trip cancelled. Got a lot of season left to land another too.

Back in my days of nihongogako…: ). No chance now. We can meet at a lake in the spring. Have you thought of burning patterns on one of your wood grips?

Geez Steve, I’d trade a bottle of Crown for some of that art. Beautiful!

Great idea! Thanks.

A half dozen of your muskie flies would fill a patch quickly : )

Pretty cool. Didn't even know that existed. That would also make the smoothest, strongest spey rod..... If you get a chance, I'd love to hear if you feel your one piece rods cast smoother than sectioned rods or if you can tell much of a difference vs the portability of a sectioned rod with...

I will be interested on how to build a one piece longer than the planing form.....scarf joint? Its always fun to experiment.

Awesome. You give me courage to give one try.....although I bet you've landed a lot more chrome than I have. Mark

We're the blue collar micro construction workers of healthcare.... : )

No idea....my knowledge of how reels work is next to nothing. I'm assuming the reel manufacturers come up with better technology for at least some reason...other than just profits. I use very cheap reels for trout...even on my bamboo rods as I see no reason for spending a bunch of money to...

I built a spliced three piece rod I enjoy using on the Yak and for src on the beaches. If I remember correctly, I think I have a 250 grain SA integrated head on it. I am by NO means a professional builder and did it mainly out of curiosity. I later built a three piece 4/5 wt doublehander and...

Just curious....I get hooked up to a steelhead so infrequently, I would hate to lose it because my reel siezed up. I'm assuming all you vintage tackle users are confident in how the reels will work, or do you accept an occasional glich as part of the enjoyment of using classic gear? Or are...
