Hey Steve Max really likes his rod. He got a proper testing. He caught about 30 or 40 small trout on it yesterday. It can cast the small stuff in a small stocked creek.

Very cool!

Hankinsfly I like that crawdad looking creature. Cool!

Sorry you didnt join Vincente, I got your flies last year and really like them. Currently, learning to stack hair myself.

E, I still remember when you originally posted your beautiful work. Glad to see they are as strong as they are beautiful. You could make a profession out of making these! Id like to see them full of fish for dinner!

Understand challenges. Shattered my spine in 2011 surgeons didnt know if I would walk again. Thanks to a wonderful neurosurgeon I am. Ive had two surgeries on my spine since then. I hate my sciatic nerve. I do like bloody Marys though! Id like to come out your way some day for some fishing. I had a blast drift boat fishing outside of Victor, ID. Id like to do a drift, camp trip in Wyoming some day. Also, I would like to harvest one of your tasty antelope and maybe a black bear some day. Not to get too far of topic, Im sure I could squeeze a Bloody Mary in there somehow!

Try absolute peppar vodka in the mix. Google Robbies of Islamorada and look at their bloody Marys. They have shrimp, slim Jims, and bacon as garnishes. I like olives with mine. Early weekend mornings, before the kids get up, bloody Marys in the hot tub overlooking the farm and the cattle is nice.

uv first. Color lightly with marker and then Uv again. Similar to the bonefish fly, bitters, that you posted. Good luck!

Got mine! Thanks Vic.

That hula popper body is the bomb! Nice!

I like Bloody Mary I typically use zing zang. I love a good chelada as well. Drinking is now relegated to tying. Back in the day, I drank like a pirate while fishing. Now I just fish. Sometimes, I dont even care if I catch anything. I do love a good beverage at the end of the day with friends after the fishing is done.

What are the other options. We have, globally, too many people for a finite amount of resources. Fish farming, hatchery raised fish, etc. are the solutions we have come up with as people for our inability to limit reproduction as a species. We need to strive for zpg.

I like the green

I have a traveler vise. I replaced the jaws once due to an accidental breaking. Wasnt a big deal. They did not appear to be machined metal. My vise was knocked off the table by a house sitter. Call Renzetti. They will talk to you. I have a presentation vise by them that I like better than the Traveller.

Vic Please keep its fresh roasted and ground Baxters coffee, Lake Cumberland Blend. Its for you bud.

Im not an entomologist like the trout guys but enjoyed this thread very much!

Vic Mailed priority. Included a book of stamps in case someone was light on postage. There is a little gift for you in there as well. Thanks for undertaking the most difficult of swaps for the swapmeister.

FB Nice!

Too many people in the world and here. Its the problem that we dont address from a global perspective.

Chattanooga area I think

Nice!

Bam! Winner, winner, chicken dinner! Like that a lot! I bet it can bomb some casts!

Hilarious

I put my stuff in the shower. Turn on shower and go do something else. Buy a rod carrier and take on carryon. Done it many times.
