@Phil K you've motivated me man, thank you!

Tie a tag line on with a double or triple surgeons loop above the main tippet where the point fly will tie on. Trim one end of the tag of the surgeons loop, cut the other end to desired length and tie on flies to ends. Like option 3 below, but with surgeons loop instead of blood knot. If you...

Fucking thunder chickens....

Shoot, really sorry to hear it - but I bet it was a hell of a journey! Project Healing Waters might be good to touch base with if you're wanting to donate it.

So now it's going to snow tomorrow....great.

Exactly what I was thinking. I switched to a yolk a few years back and love it. Less tangles and it's a breeze to setup. Maybe give that a try and see if it solves your problem.

Good shit!

EPIC!!

I recently sent one of my benchmades back to them for a factory edge reset. It had developed a fairly nasty rough spot and I was curious how the program worked. For $10, they send all the packaging, just drop your knife in and drop off at a fed ex. It took about 2.5 weeks to get it back, but...

Yep. Very good ones. But they are (as expected) also very expensive. Kuiu makes waders too, but I don't know anything about them, and they don't use Gore Tex (they're all Toray), which turns me off. I have a lot of trust in Gore Tex.

Has me thinking....I might try adding a foam butt....

If I'm feeling lazy, this is the quick hitter for salmon. It's what I'm having for lunch today. Cover the slab w/ this and onto the pellet grill (or however you wanna cook it). Easy peezy lemon squeezy.

Travers? Is that you?

Welcome to the club 😆

You could grab a 60 gr. OPST micro tip. Type 4, but Id bet it lasts longer than a poly leader.

Honest answer, I don't think there is any way to visually determine the difference.

At the same time? Impressive!

Or with two rods.... It's always the rod I'm not holding that bobbers down.

I 100% get that. The wrist strap on my carter release - same way. If the wrist strap cord wasn't on I felt like I couldn't take the shot - created some missed opportunities. Until after one of those I cut the damn cord once and for all. Problem solved.
