I wonder what will happen if you get a good hit when the rotator is at near top center ? Will the rod snap , will the brace bend ? Yes, wear would be an issue. Maybe some hockey tape would be an idea in that area . Cool idea.

Long rod aint going away anytime soon.

Only you and beans can get away with this comment. LOL Truth be told Cliff,I am not as limber as I once was. I have knee issues that takes me an hour to get moving in the AM, before I get my arse moving these days. I like to still walk some trails to the rivers,but at a slower pace. My ice fishing will be limited to closer spots , but most of them are not that far off shore anyways,but snow will determine my travel as well. As long as I get out,that is all that matters .

Excuse me sir,I am looking for a vain.

Milwaukee fuel brush less gen 2 hands down.

Thanks bud. You might want to think about dusting your stick/rod/pole, off. Aint no ice coming soon. To add,no day light til 8 am,so you can be up and gone by 7 , fishing by 8 . I got there to early this morning. 6 am. I did tie bags in the truck though ,while waiting for day light.

It,s been over a month since I hit the river. All this messed up weather put me in a funk and the river a mess .What a gorgeous morning to hit the river. -1 no wind and NO other anglers to be seen . Now that is social distancing .Man is the water up. Where I would be knee deep,I was waist deep. I have not bottom bounced in many years, but this mornings conditions warranted it. Paid off. Fresh runner that is heading to the smoker Saturday morning.

Nice ride Bernie.

FishNChips then and now,still good.

I am still a newbie to this fly fishing Paul. John said to go small last spring, #18.l can not believe these fish can see those, but they are on them, like I am on a pizza with anchovies. Thanks Ray I will keep an eye on their restocking .

I had to look this word up John . Just like the monopoly guy. Yup, got to get me one.

Is this site still in business ? They have great prices on hooks,but 80% are sold out . Fly boxes are very reasonable . Shipping is cheap enough for sure . Do you have an online store you like to use ? Thanks gang. BillM, GBay still has white fish ? Thought they were almost extincted do to over netting ? Would love to try for some on the fly . I supply flys,you supply blind fold and ride .LOL

Edit to add, look for a lake with good white fish .

Ya, what are you waiting for ? Lets get busy and fish and hunt.LOL

Well you made me do this John,and I have to say,#22,s are not easy,and I know I am no a pro, but I do believe in,no insect is the same.LOL . Eyes were going cross after 25 of them. Added colored tails as hot spots. Will find out in the spring,if I can tie them to my line .LOL On to smaller #,s once I get uncrossed. LOL The last couple of days creations,,,,,,,,,,,, Working on the deer/elk hair fly's and submerges .Need to get the proportion parts down on the hair. I think a big hungry brown will hit them still .
