Had to replace a number of old valves in the plumbing in my house. Did like 9 in 2 hours. It’s only been a year but no issues yet!

Side cutters (tho I see maybe I’ve been calling them the wrong name cause others say diagonal cutters). Still using the cutters but for brushes, one way is to wrap as much as you want, then kinda pull back some and pull the material out of the brush or trim it close. Then tie off on the wire...

Enjoying the play by play, appreciate you taking us along for the ride

A few of what is likely my last top water fly fish for the season. I may have another shot so keep you fingers crossed. On the glass pole no less

They were on frogs pretty good after the rain

You may like a SA mastery titan. I prefer the titan long tho. Also at 240grab for the head weight or the grain (first 30’ of line) weight? Regardless you’d be looking at either a 6wt or 7wt in those lines. Hope you find something that ya like

I do the same thing process except I use zap thin at the end (no first dab)

Cork bugs are still working

Next batch of quiet bugs

Durability and fit are importantly to me and often these go hand in hand. I like the orvis as the calf and ankle area are a little bigger to allow for layering and fleece pants more easily (which is when I typically wear waders).

I tend to roll with 2 pairs (one older and one slightly newer). The patagucci’s I have are still holding up decently well but I’ve also been using the orvis pro for a bit and they have been great. A little warm but that doesn’t bother me as I mostly wear waders as needed, not all year.

Got the remaining poppers finished up. Will work on the last of the top water kreelexs and start shaping heads again

Actually tied a few flies out of the cork heads previously posted

Sweet good stuff on what sounds like a great trip! And real cool on the peacock

Love this thread cause I love this fly. So good how variable you can make em… bucktail, synthetic, on different style hooks, etc etc. I fished Bob one time and he was a super nice guy, real enjoyable to spend a day with. I never asked for a fly at the end of the day and still kick myself for it!

Half way through making some new heads. I think this counts as fly tying or do I need to wait til I put the tails on?

Nice build! I like accents but not overdoing it Yea taking pictures of rods is hard… usually I have em on a table and get my toes in the pic too, ain’t nobody wanna see that

Moody weather had them grumpy but found some good periods of activity where they were ok to feed up a little more

I think that’s a potamanthus

Fishing was good with the 11-14” class showing up strong
