Nice fish Dave!
How'd you get your van that high up on that tree in the background? ;)

George is no longer with us, but Wyatt studied under George, and now owns the business.
Bobby - A golden rainbow trout is sometimes called a palomino. Do a google search for "golden rainbow trout", and you'll get lots of pictures. The fish currently stocked by the PA Fish Commission...
The pictured stone building is actually a spring house. A spring emerges from inside the building, and flows out to the creek. Back in the day, there were no refrigerators, and this building was part...
Hi Steve - You aren't half the man you used to be! ;)
Congratulations on your new svelte physique.
My "gift" to you: diet A&W root beer - zero calories, zero carbs, and it tastes FANTASTIC....
Hi spoof - A great color to start out with is "steelhead orange". You can also use it to make a pattern made popular by Fred Bridge - the IPW (Infamous Pink Worm). The IPW is a deadly effective...
Hi spoof - Somebody's yanking your chain. There's no steelhead in the Lehigh, despite what you might have heard. I heard those rumors too, quite a few years ago.
Closest steelhead waters to us...
Randy - I agree with you completely, except for the part about your importance to the PA Fish-In.
You're the "glue" that has held this event together. No one throws a better party than you do, and...
Hi David - I own two Regals. One with the standard jaws (chipped), and one with the stainless jaws.
The stainless jaw Medallion is sooooooo much nicer to work with! I've never heard of anyone...
I heard the 2013 PA Fish-In is gonna be held at your new cabin. :D
Dave can take care of any tree removals you might need.
Just a different color chenille. Try it in hot pink - we call that one something not suitable for a family friendly forum.;)
Spoof - I live pretty close to you. After next weekend (opening day), there's a whole bunch of streams within a 15 minute drive of you that are loaded with fish.
Chuck that fly out there - it'll...
Been using the Petitjean bobbin for about 6 months now. I have dozens of other bobbins, but they all sit empty now.

Thanks everyone!
Spent my day fishing my home stream - the Little Lehigh in Allentown. What a beautiful day!
Old fishing buddies I hadn't fished with for years somehow decided to gather at our...
Why, from Jack, of course.:D
That would be Jack Mickievicz. Jack DOES make the best dubbing! Bob and Jack are old friends, and his shop is the best place to find Jack's products. Hint - he makes...
I've got two Medallions - one, an ancient traditional jaw version (with chipped jaws), and a new one with the stainless jaws.
I never bothered to do anything with the damaged vise, but when I...
Here's a nice budget solution for a feather cabinet.:shock:

And just when I thought I was gonna have to use a cattle prod.....
Here we go! Gimme a call sometime. You're gonna be really good at this. :D

Hi Joe - Fly Rite #41 is a perfect match for the GD duns. White poly yarn mixed with a bit of black works for the spinner wings, but I prefer to tie coffin flies with hackle (grizzly), and just trim...
Hi Pete - Welcome aboard!
As you can tell by my board name, we fish some of the same waters. Our local fishing should be really good this year, with all this rain. Shoot me a PM if you want to...
Hi Deanna!
Yes, Ultrathon is what I started with. No effect whatsoever. I even went so far as to use 100% deet, to the point that the smell was making me woozy. Didn't work.
As Eric stated,...
Tennis, anyone?
