been meaning to make a braided loop with the Orvis Hy-Flote as a core, just haven't got around to doing it yet. I don't really care for the braided loops on anything 3wt and down. I find it changes the presentation for dries for the worst for my casting style, especially on the local creeks around h...

Looks clean gabe, but what exactly did you do? what is the procedure? I would like to do this to replace the welded loop on my SA line that is cracked. all i did was secured the loop with a nail knot. I just used tippet, coated with cement or knot sense. oh i cut the tag end of the loop at an angle...

i've tried a lot of different connections. this is what i'm using for now. my own welded loop. on Orvis Wonderline, which btw i am not too fond of. welded loop cracked 2nd time around, had to nail knot a butt section, then just decided to make my own loop. I have done this on my 3wt line and 1wt lin...

I just picked up the Rivershed Vibrams. used it on the E Dub only so far. not much of a challenge their, but do notice they really don't work quite as well as felts. However for what they are they do a pretty nice job. I am very cautious while wading making sure i have good footing. so i'm not too w...

Still got my Optio WPi. Its pretty old, been banged up like crazy, and i'm mean it really looks like it has been through a war, but it still going strong. Been using mine in the pool recently during these hot summer days with friends. The Optio WP series are good. I know there have been few that had...

amazing guy, and what a loving family.
nice share, and definitely inspiring.

thanks,

Most people find it odd that I like to fish when I tell them that I ABSOLUTELY DETEST the taste of any type of fish/shellfish/etc. Except for the fish & chips at BJ's... that's some GOOD stuff. ha! I sometimes get the same response. Not a huge fan of freshwater fish, with the exception of Catfi...

dang I'd be starving with these list. ha!
I'm good with killing a Mountain house to myself. one for breakfast, one for dinner,
and a nice pint of ale to wash it all down at the end of the night.

Gary those Enertia meals look pretty darn tasty. I'll have to try that sometime.

i don't carry a net. I find that slipping my finger just behind their gills or in em, will keep em still enough for me to get the barbs out. ha! I do all the above, depends on the situation. Though all efforts made for the best landing and release. Well except the over the shoulder launches that hap...

lil tangent here, but AO or CK...
you guys should consider doing an article for the site.
Fishing Photography, back country photography, etc... something of the sort.
maybe even tools of the trade.

anyhow, sweet pics once again.

as far as surveillance systems go. well i can give my 5 pennies in on that one having been in the industry. it will deter some thieves, but if they really want it, they'll steal it. i'll put it this way our surveillance store got broken into, and the sheriff didn't show up on the scene till an hour ...

what the heck! whats going on with this society. jeez!

Wow! simply amazing...
breath taking photos, and great write up. I was grabbed by every word.
well done!

http://www.theflyfisher.com/reports/gear.cfm today i was at the fly shop picking up some material, and checking out some boots. I've been curious about the Simms Rivershed since they looked very rugged. I was attracted to them for the rugged rubber panel, and lack of side stitching which i've had pr...
