Re: birch bark rings

There is a guy here who makes nets and grips with birch. The nets are beautiful and I can't wait to use it now that the ice is finally leaving.

Re: lifetime warranty rods / outfits?

The lifetime warranty is a sales tool. How many $800 rods would the sell if they were $700 and no warranty?

Re: So, Why Am I Not Fishing?

Well Ard,

I took my camper out this weekend despite the snow. I at least walked around the river even if the open part was a little too fast for me to consider wading! It did lose quite a bit of...

Re: Have You Spotted Our New Sponsor?

Since they appear to use USPS for some of their shipping, they might reconsider the other 2 states. The post office doesn't charge extra for the priority flat rate packages to AK and HI.

Re: A Sure Sign That I'm Almost Ready To Fish;

How much longer before you can float the valley streams? (I was hoping a week, but that's probably too optimistic)

Where are you taking the raft this week? I'm assuming the upper...

When Drifting or Float-Tubing...

Dabluz,

I've found the float tube to be much more comfortable for the day. Think recliner vs. stadium seat. The canoe is faster if your trying to go to a specific spot, but Joni's raft is the best...

It's F, but don't worry... The fish are pretty safe. The few I catch in the winter don't come out of the water when they are released.

It's mostly a little casting practice after a scenic drive,...

It's wonderful to catch fish on your own flies, and a great hobby in itself. If you have materials, you will never be without "that" fly you lost.

However, the last comment about saving money is...

I'd skip the connector and just nail knot some mono with a loop. The braided connectors seem to fail when it's most important.

Re: What do you think?

Winter's coming, so it might be a good time to take a class or see if your local club as fly tying sessions.

Re: Penobscot Mid May

Mid-May is a little early on the WB. It's usually early June before it warms up and the fishing picks up. I wouldn't count on missing the black flies that early either, and since I'm being...

Simms has a YouTube video about leaky waders. They spray them with rubbing alcohol and then turn them inside out. The leaks show up easily so you can apply the aqua seal
