Thanks for the ideas Rick. I think that this would be a good idea to fish cabbage weed or something that is a better quality lake weed. But this stuff is that green slime that just covers the whole...

Thanks for the thoughts. While I have a nice Lund boat, I fish out of a kayak these days. The problem that accompanied my post was seeing nice, aggressive fish that wanted to eat but getting a fly...

So the gills and crappies are in the shallows and so are the weeds. What is your approach to fishing this stuff? I see the fish and have great success IF I can get a fly in front of them with being...

A belated Happy Birthday man. On my way to your part of the world today, not to fish, but to mow the lawn. :(

Thinking of you, Jack.

Mike, thanks for all your generous help with this endeavor. Much appreciated.

Thanks bugsy for another worth while option. I ran across this article that I enjoyed for those interested in tube fly tying: https://globalflyfisher.com/tie-better-tying-tools/the-tube-fly-needle...

I saw that place in Canada, I was looking for a U.S. Source, but would feel better about Canada than Poland.

The tube fly vise: AS 610?

If so pm me the delivered price to Wis please.

So, I think that I want to tie tube flies. I have seen several videos from 2014 / 2015 on the Stonfo tube fly vise called a 610. I found some nice pictures of it online, but can't find a vendor in...

Thanks for the thoughts guys. No downrigger on the Hobie. I do see many people trolling cranks and spoons. The drug for me is the big tug and the thought of big trout trips my trigger so to say. ...

I want to try to salmon, brown trout trolling in Lake Michigan out of my kayak. I keep looking at the flies that they troll and they are crazy simple looking, but don't want to recreate the wheel. ...

Love that trailer Dave. Looks fantastic. A good trailer is a true value added piece of equipment. Have fun with that 360

Thanks again David. I do have the current kayak. You're right in that I could always use the current boat for moving water and the new boat for larger bodies of water.

Thanks for confirming that...

Thanks for the thoughts David. I really, really like the open deck of the Mayfly, I really, really like the ability to move from one place to another quicker with the pedal drives. Just was on...

I've had so much fun paddling that I want to upgrade my kayak selection. This last week I picked up a new kayak trailer and now I need to buy a boat so that I can use the new trailer.

New 4...

Paddle selection has many considerations these days. It use to be just the height of the paddler. These days you are right to consider the width of the boat, but you also must consider the seating...

I know that this is an older thread David, but did you invest in this boat? Note that the Bluesky 360 won boat of the year at ICAST 2018.

Also what pedal boat are you or were you using when you...

At some point sure, it is about prestige, but also at some point it is about better hardware and better blanks. I don't spend a grand on a rod, but for those that do and their kids aren't skipping...

I don't always post on your ties, but I am a fan. I love the precision that goes into even your relatively simple ties. Nice looking fly that anyone can tie and catch fish. Maybe not as pretty as...

While chasing carp with a fly rod for over 10 years, we still tend to get into a rut or rather a specific technique for success. Bluntly I tend to just sight fish the carp in a similar manner as...

Dave, you are my hero and I am crazy jealous! She is spectacular. Tell us a little about conditions: air temp, cloudy - sunny, time of day, not specific location but a little bit about the water. ...

So, what did you think of new line on that rod? Note: Clean your guides while you are at it and take 40 years worth of junk off those to. We want to hear a report of your new Whiz Bang outfit.

The color patterns look great, thanks for sharing.

Sweet link, thanks for the useful information.

What prompted the original question was my consideration of the Firehole stick barbless hook. I liked the idea of a stout, barbless hook for my...
