I am going Saturday. I am signed up for a tying class with Tim Flagler. I go to the show every year.

I have stayed at Bowlin Camps on the East Branch. Nice clean rustic cabins.

West Branch or East Branch?

In my eyes that fly is a masterpiece.

Nice Video!

Yes beautiful fly, thanks for posting it.

I purchased a cape on ebay that I was very happy with. I probably over paid for it, but what the heck I will never need another one.

I would love to see some of your work also.

Mike

Without a doubt he was one of the best.

Mike

Very nice Norm, I've always admired your skills at the bench and behind the camera.

I agree.

Mike

Nice work!

That's a beauty without a doubt.

Good move, I watched my Father die from lung cancer at age 48. He was a heavy smoker.

I have fished the superfine carbon in creeks lakes and a river now. Both limited cast and open and it has done outstanding for me. I roll cast maybe 70 percent but when open I shoot 50 ft np with feather light lay. The choice to upgrade was well worth it and have yet to be camp grounded due to weather that my previous setup would have done to me.

 

Bottom line is you get what you pay for. Works in all aspects. Relationships flourish when nourished wood work is better with high grade tools not home owner black and Decker and so on.

Thanks for the review Tom, I have been eyeballing an Orvis rod myself lately. What brand of line did you use with it?

Mike

Looks like a fun day to me.

Mike

Good video, Thanks.

The jobs I've seen initially are in Brunswick and Portland. Advanced nurse practice or family nurse practice jobs. Wouldn't have to be ME but we would never move to somewhere like Florida or Texas.

There are less expensive areas to live in Maine than those but it would be tougher to make a living in those areas. I would say

you could live fairly comfortably in those areas you mentioned.

Mike

What area in Maine are you talking about?

Mike

Nice Job.

Mike

Nice video, keep up the good work.

Mike

That's good to know, I feel like I overpaid for it but what the heck, I will never run short of Jungle cock nails.

Mike

Well I ended up getting this one instead.

All good suggestions Gents, thanks.

I am looking at some JC Capes on Ebay, just wondering how the classification system works. I am considering purchasing this one:

Enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing. Montana is on my Bucket list for sure.
