A lot of people may not remember this one nor might they ever have heard it before but Bud Aaron Rand reminded me of it tonight and it's a great song. Take a listen:

Here are some pictures that Elisa sent me last night.

It's called a snailfish. They don't get much bigger than that.

Well played guys. Thanks you Cuzza and everyone else who bid and a large thank you to Simon for offering up the trip.

I glue at every wrap.... it's a mental problem I have.

Very very nice GasPumper! I'm impressed.

BTW, those are from left right. 5/8. 1/2, 3/8 and 1/4 ounce.

Thanks Bud.. I appreciate it.

Well, for most people anyway. Around this time of the year I start to crank them out for the soft water season and for friends who use them. It'd be nice to get tying tips from people who make their own. I buy the best materials/components I can find. I pour my own lead, paint the heads, choose and tie appropriate bucktail, seal everything with epoxy and all is well. I use Gamakatsu 604's for the models shown in the pic. They work really well. I make the tails a lot thinner than I used to and it makes an enormous difference. Let's hear how you guys do yours.

I'm proud of it too but I feel bad to think that Canadian kids are thought to be better than others. I've met and heard of MANY very well brought up, polite kids from all over the world. The parents make the difference in most cases.

C'mon friends...let'er rip!

You can also try this method.

If you're going to knot your leaders, go to the perfection loop for sure.....especially in that pound test category.

Unfortunately, the poor lad is gone.

What was the logic behind those machines Lew? Was it for better visibility? I can't think of a good reason but there must have been one.

I think you said it right the first time. Once in a lifetime.....only once.

Go for it People!

Welcome back. Have a great 2015 season.

Was gunna head out there with Marc Thorpe to sit in to his (and others) seminars but it didn't work out. I know that all who are going will have a super time. Let's have some feedback. Thanks.

Impressive stuff, Ron. Way to go. Glad you had a good time.

Thanks for the report...very much appreciated. Sounded like a good time for you guys.

You just gotta like that! I hope she wins this one but she's already won the hearts of many. Good luck.

BEAUTEEFUL!

It's a good idea....it would at least keep him away from his own net.

I was at the Sportsmens' Show at the CNE 54 years ago. What a great time that was for me. It still was a great time for many years after that. Now, I prefer the truly Outdoors shows. The Spring Fishing Show, in my opinion is a far better show. Just sayin'. The smaller swap shows are nice too.
