This. No it's not a secret, but I'm sure someone fishes it a lot and figured out there were smallmouth there. Now that little tidbit they found is getting advertised by someone who doesn't fish an area particularly often.

The trout park isn't the secret. The smallmouth there might not have been either, but it sure didn't need advertising about the great fishing.

This place just tends to be a little more personal than eBay is all he is asking. I don't mind fs ads like this however, Why are you selling it? Do you have factory pictures or your own? Stuff like that.

You got it

I have one fly left to tie. Mic, mind sending you address?

That's what I thought to myself at first but the stability with the width of a drifter as Well as the space was a little more important to me than a small motor. I spoke with the guys up at stealthcraft, really because I like their 15' skiff style boat, comes fully loaded for about 8k. http://stealthcraftboats.com/index.php?view=category&catid=19&option=com_joomgallery&Itemid=165 Cool fact about them, if you live in Michigan they have a bank that does financing with them, but you have to be a Michigan resident.

To Rich for my blood.

That skid Mark on the bottom stripping guide and one other scuff Mark are about all That's wrong with it. What kind of varnish would you recommend coating it with?

What is he wanting for the whole thing?

For that price I'll work on figuring that out myself! Althoughost you'd be Tripeling what I paid for the thing. It does cast OK with a six wt. Line, and I fished it yesterday, but a 7 Line is definitely in It's future.

I'm just looking for information if anyone knows anything About vintage fly rods. I recently acquired a Wright and McGill Denco 8.5 foot 7weight. From looking them up the green thread wraps indicate it was made sometime in the early sixties. It has No. 13 on it, does anyone know what that means? I can't find much info about them and eBay has them listed anywhere from 35 dollars to 135 or so. Just looking to find out if I have a fun glass small mouth rod or if I should start looking around to collectors to sell. The cork is in decent shape with some pitting and staining but not bad given the age. Thanks for Any possible help.

Exactly;) Have you ever tried deucing in a river? Ain't easy.

Just go to the thrift stores and flea markets. I can't think How much old taxidermy I've seen in those in Clinton and Warsaw. However I don't want anything mounted that I wasn't responsible for, the point of it is the memories.

Yessir I believe so.

Yes.

I don't Any but I've casted the streamer express and liked it. I've also heard good things about the outbound line's taper if your throwing Big flies.

I'm not huge on the separate tips, only because they can be funky to cast. However they really are the easiest option when wanting to change sink rates. I have a type 6 Rio tip and I throw it on an 8. It would work on a seven but the lower ips tips would work better I'm sure due to them being lighter. If I could choose I'd prefer a spool with a sink tip integrated line just because I think they perform better and are easier to handle. Be sure if you do get some sink tips get the 12-15 footers, not the short 5's some places carry.

Well, if you have Nothing going on Tuesday morning, come do it yourself! I'll be fishing the niangua I think.

Those are some sweet, sweet flies. I was going to fishing today but decided I'm Tuesday instead. I'll see what I can do to get a picture of one of them stuck in a fishes mouth. I snagged a new rod today that could use some good juju.

Those epoxy minnows are incredible. I'll be fishing some of those flies within the week now!

Exactly though even if one person fishing is fishing there really has to be someone else in a canoe to control it. As well as the fisherman not really having the space needed. When it's time to switch who is going to keep the boat in position good luck. HOWEVER that doesn't mean I won't fish out of a canoe,and frequently, I'll just stop and wade more often. My girlfriends parents gave us our Christmas present this afternoon.... This was sitting in the back when we went outside.

Plateau had a Christmas party/fundraiser this evening. I won this badass umpqua boat box full of flies.

Shooot, you'll have every fishing boat need covered.

I really dig that skiff Trigg. I know as the owner of the boat I will get stuck rowing more, but when I do get to fish it will be more enjoyable than out of a canoe, or jon boat. I have done both and spent more time dicking with line tangles, or getting stuck on a paddle, having to adjust after a single cast, etc.... A drift boat gives me the space i want, and I am not a small guy at all. When I get my fishing time in i'll get to enjoy that time instead of working while trying to fish as well. I've looked at the towee boats and was really thinking about them as well with a rowing frame. The skiff style boats I have looked at have had the more open layouts and walk around interior which is fairly important for what I want.
