Thanks for the nice link Ron, now those are a value priced hook. The model that I looked at still said chemically sharpened and forged wire. Nice

I never thought that I would run out of hooks. It's been years since I have bought anything. Looking to buy some jig hooks (think Euro nymphing) and could use a push in the right direction.

Dave, who's koi pond are you fishing in? I think in my 3rd pond, I still kept gold fish before I went to all koi. I decided to get all of the gold fish out by netting them with a seine. The fish...

With the hook up, doesn't it want to flip over as a dry fly? Interesting tie. Thanks for sharing.

I think that you will find this helpful:

Haven't checked out the forums in a long time. I thought that you were in IA? Probably been gone for years and like I said haven't been around in a while. Always enjoyed your grass carp...

Thanks for the ideas Rick. I think that this would be a good idea to fish cabbage weed or something that is a better quality lake weed. But this stuff is that green slime that just covers the whole...

Thanks for the thoughts. While I have a nice Lund boat, I fish out of a kayak these days. The problem that accompanied my post was seeing nice, aggressive fish that wanted to eat but getting a fly...

So the gills and crappies are in the shallows and so are the weeds. What is your approach to fishing this stuff? I see the fish and have great success IF I can get a fly in front of them with being...

A belated Happy Birthday man. On my way to your part of the world today, not to fish, but to mow the lawn. :(

Thinking of you, Jack.

Mike, thanks for all your generous help with this endeavor. Much appreciated.

Thanks bugsy for another worth while option. I ran across this article that I enjoyed for those interested in tube fly tying: https://globalflyfisher.com/tie-better-tying-tools/the-tube-fly-needle...

I saw that place in Canada, I was looking for a U.S. Source, but would feel better about Canada than Poland.

The tube fly vise: AS 610?

If so pm me the delivered price to Wis please.

So, I think that I want to tie tube flies. I have seen several videos from 2014 / 2015 on the Stonfo tube fly vise called a 610. I found some nice pictures of it online, but can't find a vendor in...

Thanks for the thoughts guys. No downrigger on the Hobie. I do see many people trolling cranks and spoons. The drug for me is the big tug and the thought of big trout trips my trigger so to say. ...

I want to try to salmon, brown trout trolling in Lake Michigan out of my kayak. I keep looking at the flies that they troll and they are crazy simple looking, but don't want to recreate the wheel. ...

Love that trailer Dave. Looks fantastic. A good trailer is a true value added piece of equipment. Have fun with that 360

Thanks again David. I do have the current kayak. You're right in that I could always use the current boat for moving water and the new boat for larger bodies of water.

Thanks for confirming that...

Thanks for the thoughts David. I really, really like the open deck of the Mayfly, I really, really like the ability to move from one place to another quicker with the pedal drives. Just was on...

I've had so much fun paddling that I want to upgrade my kayak selection. This last week I picked up a new kayak trailer and now I need to buy a boat so that I can use the new trailer.

New 4...

Paddle selection has many considerations these days. It use to be just the height of the paddler. These days you are right to consider the width of the boat, but you also must consider the seating...

I know that this is an older thread David, but did you invest in this boat? Note that the Bluesky 360 won boat of the year at ICAST 2018.

Also what pedal boat are you or were you using when you...

At some point sure, it is about prestige, but also at some point it is about better hardware and better blanks. I don't spend a grand on a rod, but for those that do and their kids aren't skipping...
