Are these still available?
Thanks for the great info. One problem, In the pic there is a control knob, I don't have one. I also had to take out the right contact and turn it over. Mine is a one screw model as for line guard....
I received some old Hardy Marquis reels. I can sell them or keep them, the problem is I use LHW and they are RHW. Are they reversible. they are around 35 to 40 years old. The writing says "Made...
I have a similar problem. I am 6'2" and weigh anywhere from 250-280. It doesn't matter what size I order, I have a size 16 foot. I finally found some folks that make a large boot, but my waders...
He actually owns places there. He wants some place he has never been before. Keep the ideas coming!
Some of you know of my trips with my father-in-law. He is 78 and fishes from sun up to sun down. He still walks well, but more than a mile in is more than he wants. 78 but strong and a great...
Congrats on a nice fish! I had the record fall fish in Pennslyvania about 32 years ago, man that was a long time ago. Usually a smallish fish but can get 2-3 pounds and as you said, a great fight.
Thanks guys!
I bought some starling skins for the first time for some soft hackles. When I opened the pack a substance that I can only describe as "dandruff" fell out, when you shake the pelt it falls off and...
I have been trying to buy some capes for a couple of weeks now. It seems you have to buy one from each company as no one has a real selection anymore. Is there a shortage I did not know about? All...
Thanks for the kind words and advice. I will keep his memory alive by doing as he did, taking someone that needs a friend and being a friend to my friends. I am going to check into getting a bench...
Although he was not famous, a great fisherman is gone. Ronnie Shad passed away last Friday. He was a father to me. I first met him when I used to go look at his daughters in their bikinis at the...
Both rivers are great! I like the roaring fork. Less crowded and big fish in deep fast water. See if you can find a spot in the "Toilet Bowl" up by the dam. If you can you will get some of the...
If casting into the wind is a problem just switch to silk line. Solved most of my problems.
Like a goof I took 15 hours of college classes this semester while working full time. Fortunately I was still able to do some fishing but haven't been able to tie a fly for a couple months. Back to...
I would love to! Please send plane tickets to me here in Dallas, tx. Man, to live in a place with water that actually moves!
One of the best stories I ever heard. You are very good sons. I have already instructed my kids to put my ashes in a trout stream when the time comes. I even put it in my will that the last kid to...
Most of my WInston Bamboo rods and peerless and hardy reels were bought at garage sales along with my vises and tying equipment. I keep telling my wife I am so lucky to have all this great equipment...

Arghhhhh, I can't believe it. I was moving my chest of fly tying stuff, and of course many drawers had loose hooks, not in their boxes. Thousands on the carpet. Got a magnet to pick them up. GUess...
As to the outsourcing being the only way some companies can make it I think I have to say bull! For instance, I really like the fishpond bags. The one I like is about 10 dollars worth of material...
What fly fishing products are still made in the USA? Cliff boxes are great, filson vests great, just a few other items besides some of the grea net makers. Any one know of a list of american make...
As soon as you know your wife is pregnant start reading "A River Runs Through It" and any Gierach, lyons, Sparse Hackle etc genre books to the baby. After they are born be sure to play the sound of...
Took the class today, man was it great. Showed me ways that none of the books even came clost to. Success the first time using them. Simple stuff you would never think of if you had not tied a...
For anyone that is going to be there, I will be the big bald guy with the Winston Jacket and hat that says "fish control my brain" Looking forward to meeting some of you.
