Those soft hackles…You know what good ones look like. I might have to go snipe a starling at the feeder. Will need to look for some partridge etc. It is down there. High possibilities.

This was a nice find. Steve Adams ties.

I have no idea. Bought 20 years ago likely. . I might tie a fly this year, Maybe not.

It’s hell to put up with the delusional. Anyway, cleaning out the basement. Who wants these? I have.no need for them. Thinking Venmo me 5 and yours. Couple hundred there.

Why give religion any undeserved respect? None of them are based upon a single shred of evidence, just old books, collections of memes that had legs and told you to go indoctrinate people or kill them if the don’t agree. Thomas Jefferson knew that.

Blue ribbon trout streams and water temperatures
Gavin replied to Skeeter ZX190's topic in Trout Talk
You will certainly know if they can match it to a known sample, and match variances to other known samples, and quantify the differences. They are likely mutts, but distant family to what is currently farmed. -

There is a study in progress funded by Gateway TU https://www.gatewaytu.org/project-redband.html -
House moves to repeal the Pittman-Robertson act.

Your back peddling and rambling. Have another drink & a joint😀! -
You can launch a Kastmaster a country mile and cover a ton of water quickly with one. One of my all-time favorites. I always liked a Panther Martin and Shyster's better than Rooster Tails, but they are good too.

That's in Oregon, and the bass are non-native. It's their river, and they can manage it how they want. A wild Chinook (King) Salmon is a pretty special and endangered fish, and if killing non-native smallmouth bass helps them out, so be it.

House moves to repeal the Pittman-Robertson act.
Gavin replied to Gavin's topic in Conservation Issues
The Pittman-Robertson was established in 1937. Tell me where it's put a significant burden on anyone's 2A rights? Well you cant...because it doesn't. Plus the SCOTUS has your 2A back. It's just a money grab, effort to defund conservation and stick more land in the hands of big Ag. -

It funds state conservation departments. Pays for habitat. Some see no value in anything they cant abuse for a quick buck. Jason Smith would probably make his granny walk the street to give handy's if the Farm Bureau said so. -

They money is going towards some level of conservation. It makes a big difference in states where it is not funded. In their donors pockets is we’re most would send it. The Jeff City folks dem & rep both would like to control that 1/8th cent MDC money. I’ve been to the state house many times and heard it from both parties elected officials. -
Pittman-Robertson is a 10-11% tax on the manufacture of hunting & fishing equipment, and it does allot of good. 53 Republican Legislators, included Jason Smith have signed on to sponsor it the repeal. That money does allot of good in states that are not blessed/cursed with a 1/8 cent conservation sales tax and an unaccountable Cadillac Conservation Department, and I think its a bad move. You may disagree. Harass your legislator about it. Or don't.

I've tied a few on 28's and caught fish with them. The old gold Mustad no eye 32's are the smallest I own. They are decorations on custom fly rods that Tom Hargrove wrapped for me. I might have some 32's from TMC, but there way bigger than the old Mustad 28 dry fly hook.

I’m thinking SB will get his new boat after Oneshot gets his. Why would a man with a new boat be prowling the ghetto up by chain of rocks?

Anecdotal evidence is usually worth less than you paid for it. One data point and therefore it works this way cuz dimwit Peepaw said so. People want to believe it, but it’s a mind virus. Listen to others is a good trait for survival, but the good advice gets accepted with the nonsensical stuff. It’s how religions, politicians, and advertisers rope you in and play you a fiddle.

Inflatables need maintenance, so I won’t buy one. Chuck in the garage and forget about it until the next trip is kinda my speed.

NRS is the place to go for quality paddling gear.

My right & ease of access to firearms & ammo v. hurdles to stop the stupid, untrained & the insane. Maybe folks should have to pass weapons ed class? It could not hurt.

My grandmother had a mulberry tree over here back brick porch. Messy, but tasty berries, will have to check the one in my local park. The wood is supposed to be good to smoke meat with but I've never had the opportunity to try it.
