This past year I decided to try euro nymphing...and really enjoy it. I built a 10' 4 wt, threw a lamson liquid on it... and found out pretty quickly why they say to use a full cage reel, as the thin line found its way in behind the spool. In researching full cage reels, I came across the Greys...

When I was a kid, we had to wait til grandma got dressed Xmas morning......:eek:

When the kids were growing up, we'd make a day of finding "just the right" white pine on the woods. Nowadays, I help put up the fake tree, then step away, as my wife decorates (fine with me, as I always do it wrong... ;) )...although I did tie up a couple of decorations that somehow got past the...

Methinks: With that in mind: If they have the technology to be here, we're no match for them.

For winter (and murky (glacial) summer water) steelhead flies, IMO, sillouette is more important than intricate detail. Keep 'em simple and sparse, to allow lots of movement.

10th grade...All in shock, girls crying in the hallways...It made no difference that we were in Canada. Years later, while at a horse show in Dallas, we visited the school book depository building, looked out the same window, stood by the "x" on the roadway, and felt a lot of the the same sadness.

I did a spreadsheet, bracketing fishable levels and species timing for all my local rivers, including special notes. I was unable to post it on here, as the site wouldn't accept libre office.

Working on my Christmas decorations for this year.....

First attempt smoking pork side ribs in new smoker. Really happy with the result.

Still some of my all-time favourite blanks. They are only offering a few built rods right now, but hopefully will expand to offer blanks, etc.

Peyton00: "Self awareness, know your limits." The single most important aid to wading safety is our own good judgement. Backing off from a sketchy wade isn't a sign of weakness. It sometimes takes courage to recognize our limits.

The grip is symetrical, so same fit on either side.

My holsters have arrived and am clearing the backorders now....will be able to handle some new orders. Thanks for your patience.

Ah yes..I know him well...and he knows what he's talking about.

I was referring more to, with a sh rod, being able to strip 1/2. or more, of a 30' head inside the top guide, then with a couple of aerial false casts, fire the whole works out again w/o disturbing the water. This is much more difficult with a two-hand rod. The most successful beach fishers in...

I would save the two-hander for the river. I don't like a two-hander on the beach, because, with it, you strip in only to the start of the head, leaving the head length and tip/leader outside the top guide....That's a lot of length left unfished, as coho will often follow a fly in almost to the...

No way of proving it, but I suspect most "serious incidents" on a river are preceeded by the thought that "I really shouldn't try this". If you hear warning bells telling you not to try it...listen to them.

After years of smoking salmon in my big chief, I decided to expand my efforts to different meats. I wanted to be able to control temp, timing, etc, so bought a Masterbuilt digital smoker. First attempt yesterday was turkey legs. The smoker was really easy to use. They turned out very well...
