  1. ....Sheer genius!
  2. ....Good stuff guys! Odd though, I don't see any pics of Ron with fish?
  3. ....I wanted one the first time I laid eyes on it!
  4. ....I used to have a 16'er (square back), complete with running lights, bow electric, 5 horse gas and clamp-on mini riggers. Spent countless hours fishing from her. Only regret is that I sold it years ago, big mistake!
  5. And I look forward to seeing some vid/pics when it does happen.
  6. ....I like my 10 year old very, very faded Fireline, never let me down yet.
  7. ....I'd be happy with those results any day of the week!
  8. ....All the river mouths will have rainbows and drop back browns cruising about at times. Roe is usually the prefered bait but minnows will also get their share of fish. On those milder days (near or above zero) you could opt for spoon chucking.
  9. Google Chrome
  10. ....Looks to me like mayfly nymphs.
  11. ....Would make for a great episode of the "Twilight Zone". Hope you both had a swell day.
  12. ....My grandfather always swore by an old piece of bicycle inner tube (2" square), just draw the leader through it gently, don't want to much friction which will create heat.
  13. ....I'll add this Marcus. Learn the basics, keep it simple at first and let your own experiences be your guide. With the basics mastered you'll find yourself guided by where you fish and what your fishing for. You'll adapt and improve to meet those needs. As you improve you'll gain new knowledge and add new techniques on your own , some of your own design (the most rewarding) and some by research and of course asking questions here. Good luck and happy angling.
  14. ....You can. Loop to Loop connections Loop to Loop connections Loop to Loop connections The down side is that
  15. ....I had a quiet night around the fireplace with my GF and our collective group of four kids. Lots of food and plenty of noise at midnight. No hangover for me. Happy New Year everyone.
  16. ....I'd say you did. Happy New Year to you as well Jacques
  17. LOL....Dinky rods are for dinky fish, I excel at that. The two piece rods "fixed" would not even fit in my full size GM van, best leave them the way they are.
  18. ....Tippet (leader) length is typically dictated by the type of fishing, long leads for dry flies and shorter leads for wet flies and nymphs. Of course water clarity (or lack of) can also be factored in. Have a look here.
  19. ....Well the two rod racks I ordered arrived from Cabelas. I ordered them on the 22rd of Dec and they arrived on the 29th, not bad! Assembled them the following day, no problems. They look great and function well. They do hold my lightest rods and even hold the musky blanks I have on hand. They swivel bases needed a little light oiling to get them spinning freely, no big deal. Over all I'm pleased. Draw backs, well the $39.99 price tag elevated to $71.50 by the time they made it to my door, still less than Cabelas regular price. And like everything else these days they were made in China, isn't anything made locally anymore? Now that I have them loaded up I probably should have asked for 3. Have you received your's yet Solo?
  20. ....Dnthmn has got it. Only thing I'll add is learn the Triple Surgeons Knot.
  21. ....Actually Brian I haven't worked in near two months! The locked thread had nothing to do with the music, praps I'll tell you bout someday. Now party on folks and Happy New year.
  22. ....I think I already said this, this morning Fidel but it's worth repeating.... "....Mmmmm, Mmmmmm, Mmmmmmmmmmm.....whities."
  23. ....I'd like to buy an "A" Pat.
  24. ....Mmmmm, Mmmmmm, Mmmmmmmmmmm.....whities.
