So I have to get new boots for next year for myself, my lovely spouse and my two sons and maybe an extra pair for air travel. Damn. Five pair of boots in one year and I don't even know if I trust...

Dear Flop:

I have two areas I am partial to. The first is Missoula, Montana. Missoula is on the Clark Fork River near where the Bitterroot comes in, downstream from where the Blackfoot River and...

Thanks Leo, I'll send him an e-mail.

Dear All:

I am still looking for this piece. The rod is a South Bend Rod, Model # 346, 3 piece/2 tip 9' model. The rod is flamed. The mics on the ferrules on the broken mid-section are .281...

I am decidedly in the camp that prefers a companion. The trip to and from the river and on the river as well all seems better with someone else along. I am likely to keep my distance on the stream,...

Leo:

The top ferrule is missing, but the measurement of the tip ferrule indicates that it is an 11/64 female ferrule. The bottom ferrule is a male ferrule measuring 9/32. Do you have any 'parts'...

I have a friend who makes rods and I think I saw one on his bench. I'll get a reading. Is the measurement the diameter at the end of the male ferrule on the tip piece or diameter at the base of the...

Dleo:

How do I tell one type of ferrule from another? The rod is a SB #346 9' 3/2 HDH rod.

Thanks

Randy

Dear All:

I have a Sage SP 5wt on which the rod butt section seems to be coming away from the reel seat. It has been suggezted to me that I could heat the reel seat with a hair dryer until the...

Dear All:

I have one of these rods - an inheritance from my step-grandfather - it is a three piece, two tip rod. Unfortunately the middle section was broken at the top ferule somehow. I am hoping...

EPuff:

Thanks for your efforts. With your help and others, I came up with Orvis in Manchester, VT, a Flyfishing Club in the Berkshires with members in the Brattleboro area and Taddingers in...

EPuffer:

Thanks. I appreciate it. We have to indoctrinate ... I mean initiate as many as we can!!

I want to refer a new tyer to someone who is giving beginner's fly tying classes in or near Brattleboro, Vermont. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Randy

Also, do you see a beneift of the adjustable extension versus the fixed one? The adjustable is up to a 9" extension and the fixed one is a 4" extension? The cost is only $5.00 more. I was worried a...

Hans W on the 'other board' mentioned that the perspective one has when using the extension takes some getting used to. I visited Fran Betters at his shop a while back and when he tied with an...

Um, ZZ? Is that a glass of wine or cement thinner or both?

Joe:

I must have not been paying attention when I copied the message and link. I posted it on OB Board as well. Thanks for completing it.

Randy

I am looking into a vise extension for my Dyna-King Professional vise. Have any of you tried tying with an extension? It allows you to tie away from the table or desk a bit so you are not hunched...

My fishing buddies and I spent last weekend exploring the Connecticut Lakes region of NH with some success.

I have found that to be true as well. I plan to use it in northern NH next weekend unless we're blown out.

Randy

Never mind I found it. It's called the Jackass. Golden Pheasant Crest tail, herl body, orange hackle throat, bronze mallard wing, brown or furnace collar on a 3x long streamer hook. Whew, I need to...

I have been lurking more than posting, but any questions I have had, have been well answered by the experienced and generous members of this board. So ... I have another question.

I am looking for...
