Been busy as in really busy in the shop and no end in sight, but it's all good! Thought I'd share some work from the past week. A couple of Steelhead rods I've now finished and ready to deliver tomorrow. Wraps were designed to match the wood work done by my friend JC ( http://www.jccustomtackle.com/ ). The handle on a Walleye rod ready to have the winding finish put on tomorrow. A rebuild (new blank) of a Perch rod I did a month ago using salvaged parts from the previous build, the owner broke it, his fault. Also waiting for winding finish. And for you Irish (Wayne), winner of my donation to Mike P's Cancer auction, the handle on Leah's new spinning rod.

Still Gig'n on Pink Floyd..... Oh and all Nicklecrap will be removed from here on in..... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Gtr8Q_M0ofQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

If you think it gross you may want to stay away from Worcestershire sauce as well.

I should have known. As for the trip, quite the adventure and a great recap, thanks for taking the time.

So what is your favourite brand of cereal Mike?

Just throwing it out there Bill. While I've never taken steroids I've been fed a number of prescription drugs over the years for chronic pain and jumped off everyone of them because of the personality change I felt with everyone. In many cases they made me angry, somewhat violent, depressed and not overly well in the least, not to mention that almost all of them did nothing in terms of treating the issues they were prescribed for!

"have"..... and yes many drugs, steroids included will addle ones perception.

90 minutes well spent.... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/l54GAcB5aWE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Could be a Fallfish but a general location where caught would help in determining.

Oh and let's not forget Custom Centerpin Reels by Rob Marqutte. http://www.greybruce...riverkeeper.php

Did someone say "beer." Shoot me a PM Fishtickler, I'm sure I can fix you up.

I'll stick with Acme Battery on Parkdale Ave, regardless of cost.

Well if I could play like RB I wouldn't be sitting here building rods and listening to Youtube. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gQRoZ6F8YLc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> ....or like Carlos.... <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hFjgyL_CuUY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Welcome aboard Scott, fellow rod builder, fly tier and fly fisherman, can't be all that bad me thinks.

Good stuff Simon. I just approved Scott's (Havtaflyfish) account, he's good to go.

Awesome, simply awesome!

A lot of hoopla over a bass picture. I could go through the many posts here and find pictures of under sized musky, possesion - 0 Pictures of Atlantic Salmon, possesion - 0 Pictures of Sturgeon, no angling season locally! Pictures of slot sized walleye, possesion - 0 Pictures of in season steelhead, laying in the mud. Pictures of Lake Simcoe Herring, no season. I could go on by I would think you get the point. A picture of an OOS (way) pre spawn bass, a very hardy and prolific species doesn't warrant a lynching IMO. I could bring up some pictures from those throwing stones.....

I think some folks need to chill, just a wee bit.

Interesting stuff TJ, though I'll have to get back into in more depth as I'm on me way out. I have a fairly large number of old F&S mags here, let me know if you're interested in them.

I would hope that no one would actually post such sensitive information on an open forum. Best advice, a map, time and leg work.

Thanks Phil. Yes the colour match was intentional. Brian sent me pictures of the reel requesting I match the wraps a close as possible.

"Jibberish," I don't recall talking jibberish, are you sure you were paying attention.
