A very good fly tying teacher on You tube is Davie McPhail and he is detailed as well as low key in his teaching. His videos are particularly good.. in step by step and he ties some flies I really enjoy. I also think Dave Hughes books are great and he also is a really good fellow to follow at...

I am curious if anyone has had this problem with the Patagonia boots. I have the foot tractor in size 11 and they are absolutely wonderfull and I have had an older pair if Simms wading boots that were for salt. I have had Dave Page glue the Simms soles back on a couple times and also I have...

I know that spot and believe there are some campsights very close nearby. If it is what I remember it is truly a wonderful fishing spot and they (fish) keep coming back for more. I didn't discover that spot till this spring / early summer. It is a wonderful place.

Wow what an amazing view of the area. That alone is worth all the work to get up there.

Your work is truly awe inspiring and you are so modest. Those two qualities together make such an amazing package and its hard to put into words to describe the work and person. Keep it going on both planes. Your son is also an incredible talent as he makes us able to realize the great talent...

If I am understanding the above reference is that lake free of algae as yet and is parking available these days?

I have some Keene hiking boots and they are okay but I have so many other hiking boots I prefer over the Keene. I really like Asolo as a manufacturer but they are more pricey but they last. I also have had some REI branded Raichle that were / are a black leather and they were resoled by Dave...

I really like Half Price Books and recently purchased Ray Ovington's Tactics on Trout and I am only starting it but it is really a wonderful book on strategy and it was written in 1969 and is very good in technique allinged with European Nymph fishing strategy way ahead of my awareness of that...

I would probably suggest staying with the Bosch batteries and just buy 1 new battery (or 2) and it would still be a screaming good deal of a tool buy. The batteries are just sometimes not willing to be charged anymore. The kit (photo) involves a charger and that is probably all you need...

Dave, Hang onto the agate ferrule and if you wish, I can solder it after you have changed out to a chrome guide. I can solder it if you wish and then if you change your mind it could be an option down the road. Its an offer to you and again no charge. I often come over to NW Art Glass in...

I have one of those dollys and didn't use it for about 1 year but now use it every time I move my motorcycle trailer out of the side yard and it is EXCELLENT for saving my back and any future hurnia. I use the trailer for yard waste and garbage runs as well as bike transport. I was lifting...

I also don't have any similar experience other than a slight stroke a few years ago. Follow the doctors suggestions and remember that if you do follow them there is a chance of more success in recovery and also more fishing to follow. Please take care and know that there are a lost of folks...

Forgot to address the issue with tying flies.... no problem. Just take it easy and dont do 6 dozen the first day you go back. Keep that exercise "pendulum" in your short list to rest and relax the shoulder when it seems to burn after holding tight or limiting the movement as in fly tying...

I just discovered this thread. I have had rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder 2 different times. First in Sept or October of 2007 and then again the same shoulder in about the same months of 2017. Both surgeries were done by the same surgeon and he is incredible. First one only one...

What about a bimini Twist loop knot? That is what I have been using on backing to line.

I have a book which is a focus on Pacific Northwest fly fishing legends in fishing and tying. it is called: Fly Fishing Pioneers & Legends written by Jack W Berryman with a forward by Steve Raymond. I initially started reading it about 10 or 12 years ago when I was first a member of NW Fly...

You are a great guy who has just hit a bump in the road and you have paid attention to it. You have made changes for the better and see the future and I am quiet certain you will come out of all this much the better. Your sharing of so many facets of your life in relation to the industry...

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...
