Thanks Landry. I'm sure your rods are just fine and I can assure you that my first rods 37 years ago weren't all that pretty but they were functional and I was proud of them. Truth is after all these years I'm still improving and refining my work with every rod. Thank you Josh. You know where to find me Cliff.

Thanks folks for the kind words.

Looks great Bernie! Guess I'll have to come up and check out the comfort level in person.

Remember the sign Mike, always, and remember you're on my team, team 10. I'm counting on you for some big musky.

Thanks Paul. But I can't take credit for the custom handle on that one, I merely fit and installed it. I believe the guy Ctranter commisioned for the handle is out in Alaska.

Keeping busy in the rod shop for some of our members so I thought I'd share a few pictures. First a Sage fly rod for Ctranter.... The completed handle for Floatman55 A quick look at the reel seat for the rod I'll be guiding tomorrow, heading to Troutguy upon completion. And another handle shot for Misfish's new steelie rod.

Well it would seem we've lost sight of the original topic.

I'd be all over your generous offer Wayne if I wasn't already heading to Temagami for a week in early June followed by Lakair 3 days later.

This is exactly what happened to mine a year ago at the beginning of the heating season, on advice from the installer I took the hose off at the one end and blew through to the switch till I could hear it operating. They said it was likely a spider or web blocking it. No issues since.

Nothing in the NHL will ever affect my daily existence, nor should it!

A few miss placed shots of chartreuse paint and a few over sized trebles and we'll definitely have something to talk about.

Congrats to you and your family Rob.

Wow!

I'm not to far away from you here in east Hamilton and could fix it up for you.

Tip of the hat to you Norm.

I might be able to help with that.

Well at least I now know what I was celebrating last night..... Happy belated old (yet younger than me) man.

So am I building you a Rainbow rod or a Steelhead rod Brian, I need to know before I get started.

Strange indeed Lew. Did you try connecting the 2 bare wires together to see if the horn sounded?

Welcome aboard FB, I'm a bit of a float guy myself.

And we need a new thread for this? Hello poachers, just a heads up.........

Exactly! You can spend all day trying to straighten it out on the trailer when the transom is floating high above the trailer, in, out, in, out, in, out......

Not something I've heard per say, just witnessed. Those who submerge their boat trailers so deep they spend gross amounts of time tying up the boat ramp trying to get the boat centered on the trailer.....

I'll add to that "sensitive" comment Harrison in the form of the constant updates at the "Ganny" fish ladder, while it's certainly interesting to know it could have/should have waited till a later date IMO.
