    What have you done for your boat lately?

    Fourbtgait.... I had one of the earlier versions of that dolley and used it on a 10 ft rowboat for awhile. Be careful of how much weight is in the boat as my wheel junctions of the aluminum framework actually disintegrated the junction with the plastic. They have now gone to a plastic wheel as...

    Small Personal Craft for Rivers

    I think until midnight tonight Ed's has a 20% off sale, but I don't know the base price of the 9IR there. The IR9 has 4 9" pontoons versus some of the other pontoons which are generally 2 - 16"pontoons. On a lake, the larger pontoons can be blown around more than a lower profile 9" pontoon...

    6-Cylinder Vehicle Camping Rigs?

    I have a 2019 Ford XLT F 150 V6 3.6 L turbo I bought nearly new and it can easily tow more than 2 times the capacity of my former 2003 V8 Silverado 4 speed automatic. The F 150 also has the 10 speed transmission which I am certain makes so much of the difference. The mileage is not much...

    Dry Fly Leader Length

    I believe you might consider using what are called tippet rings and that way the terminal material has a clear defined dimension and when it gets short just tie more material to the tippet ring and its easy to guage when more is needed. I believe it will make some of that guesswork more...

    Looking for Tips to Get Started in Fly Tying

    I believe Charlie Cravens' Basic Fly Tying book is a great starting point on Fly Tying and also supplement that with anything on YouTube by Davie McPhail and even Tom Rosenbaugh (spelling probably not correct) but the representative from Orvis who is their spokesperson often. I have also bought...
