One stretch of smallmouth water I fish is under a bridge that is on a road that leads out of shall we say, an area that has a little less espect for the law than others. The bridge appears to be a...
I caught my first northern(just under 30") last summer while smallie fishing, and it was as you say, down and dirty. I was also on my reel for the first time in a while. Funny story, I was standing...
Fishing is a blood sport, plain and simple. Responsible C&R makes it a little less so. Still a blood sport, whether you kill them or not. C&R or Kill it and Eat it makes no difference to those who...
For the record the roof rack is rated at 150lbs, the boat weighs 85lbs. Second, the boat is 12 feet long, so the bow and stern are strapped down to the frame of the vehicle front and rear. It is not...
Thanks fellas. I will look into the universal mount deal. Relplacing the existing rack with an after market one is more than I want to get into. That or a couple 2X2s strapped to the existing rack....

The original poster can solve his worries very simply. Only get involved in swaps with himself. Then the flies will always be up to his standards. :rolleyes:
Yes, Like this one.
Cordless Fly Dryer
Ski pole here. Two for a dollar at a yard sale. It has taken my full weight many times, and has saved my bacon many more. I don't wade without it, period. One swim early in my first season of fly...
There is none that I have ever seen. You will notice that Bob Clouser calls it "deer tail" more often than not in his books and videos. Hareline buys thousands of tails from meat processors etc, and...
Give these videos a gander. http://www.flyfisherman.com/ftb/bobclouser/ Straight from the horse's mouth. IMO it is not a hard fly to tie, and rejects(I have had alot of them) will still catch fish....
If I don't NEED it I don't buy it ever...Hey where did this bag of sparkle-wallabe-antron dubbing come from? Cerise South Carolina coastal deer hind leg hair? What's that all about? I know I needed...

2. Loop the thread around the index...
