@Jim in Anacortes You are correct. @albula You are also correct. Thanks guys. Bob

@MarshRat, Hey. Nice work on the poling platform. I see Turnbuckles in the Materials List. Are you attaching it via turnbuckle to the boat? Is that to make is safer ( no tipping )?

Thanks for the help guys.

Hey @Irish11, I just took a 1 inch or 1.5 inch diameter, piece of PVC pipe. I cut it to the length I desired, for the rise, which was about 2 inches. I slip the cut PVC tube, onto the oar lock shaft. I then slip the assembly into the oar lock hole. The PVC assembly/riser is then above...

Thanks Lance.

Gonna make one last attempt, on my cheap, 3 year old, Bimart, "Allen", Neoprenes. Ive got a slow/seep leak, in the crotch area. These cheapies have definitely served their purpose but I hate to throw things out. Been chasing the leak for 3 weeks. Two repairs with Aquaseal, have stemmed...

Thanks for the help once again @Zak. Happy Holidays. Bob

Hey @Zak, What is the body material, on that beautiful fly? I dig that mottled look especially for damsels/dragons. Im thinking it is maybe a Light Olive and a Dark Olive, Ostrich Herl twisted together? HAGD. Bob

@509 I think Bucks Bags out of Boise, has 8 foot pontoons, that may work for you.

@WT! Thank you for the idea. Major improvement for my DB Lake Fishing. Merry Christmas. Bob

Top Notch.

Be patient and tenacious. Merry Christmas. Bob

@Skeena88, Thanks for the feedback. My favorite magnifiers are the USA Made "Hat Eyes". Been using them for about 20 years. Unfortunately I think they are out of business, as up until last year I was able to find them in most Fly Shops. Not anymore. Currently using the "MagniFly" product...

@Skeena88, Well your post prompted me to do a side by side comparison, between the Daiichi 1110 and the TMC 101, on Size #24 hooks. It looks to me that maybe, just maybe, the Daiichi 1110 eye is wider, in this #24 size. Did you compare eye sizes with the naked eye or were you able to find...

@PhilR, Same. Much less cussing.

Hey @MarshRat, Have fun in your search. Not a click and Pawl, as its a Disc Drag but The M2A Reel, from "The Fly Shop", in Redding California, may suit your style. Classic look. Well made. A Friend has the reel and its top notch. Ive got their L2A Reel, a step up in construction and...

@Skeena88, Im not sure about that hook being available, in smaller sizes. Fly Fish Food has become my go to for weird Fly Tying Tools and Materials. Give them a call/chat regarding those hook sizes. BTW, their store in Idaho Falls, is a must stop for us, whenever we travel near there...

@Skeena88, If you tie, take a look at the Gamakatsu CM-BM Dry Fly Hooks. Ive been impressed with the "Big Eye" aspect of these hooks. Makes it way easier to tie on a tippet. If you don't tie, maybe you could have a custom tyer, use these hooks for your order. If needed, a friend, of mine...

@Zak and @SculpinSwinger, I just finished tying some Chromies, using the Sally Hansen Hard As Nails, "Crystal Clear" product. Gotta say, I am impressed. I did 4 coats, drying each coat overnite. This of course, adds time to completion of the flies. However, I see no difference in the...

Volunteer work with BLM, USFS and Trout Unlimited, mostly on Local Watershed, Rehab Projects, has been extremely gratifying. COVID hit. Everything stopped. I need to get active again. I bet you would dig it too. Happy Holidays all.
