Merry Christmas Ranger, and all of OAF. I hope Santa and the elves were able to satisfy all requests this year.

Here, I thought it was a grain.

What an awesome story. I think most people actively on here know of Duane. But Blake, as you found out, is quite a nice guy as well. I've used his guide services twice now on Taneycomo. Just call Lilley's and they can set you up.

I don't own any, but @gotmuddy does. His are on pedestal feet (chairs) not anchored. I left my phone on the seat while folded. The chair was not strapped down as we weren't going far. We were on a curvy road, with decent hills on the eleven point river. My phone on the seat was still there when we reached the destination. I was very impressed and surprised, because I didn't realize it was not with me till I found it.

You must get the premium ice cream.

I've seen that process, and it looks to be rewarding. I'm not as committed to fly fishing as I really want to be. If that makes any sense. The bamboo rods are a real woek of art and I believe it makes a great difference to the ones who are die hard casters. I would also need the workspace. That is currently tied up with my canoe which is on pause. This project has been done in the living room. I have stripped a small culm that I salvaged from some halloween decorations. Basically tiki torch posts but about half the length. It will be used for a 2 or 4 piece mini rod for mico fishing. I glued 2 strips back to back and whittled them down. I sed my drill to simulate a lathe for smoothing it down.

I am currently building what I could not find for sale. Many may remember when I was looking to buy a Tenkara rod for micro fishing. Well the word Tenkara and the type of fishing it represents seems to have been lost in translation. Long story short, the Japanese have a style of micro fishing called Tenkara. They fish for Tanago (tah-nah-go) which is a micro fish. They use ultra short rods as short as 2 feet. The smallest I could find so far was the Tiny Ten rod, but its $80 and no reel. So with much web surfing and many many hours on YouTube ( Kawan Mancing @johnsfolly ) I found someone whonwas building and using the rods I wanted to build. Here is my current progress. This is an eyeglass case from Walmart. Bonus feature is the bottom is lined with foam. Ill be putting some homeade flies in here as well. The white circles are to hold line pre rigged with hooks.

I seen this on one of my Facebook groups. Thought of this thread.

I believe John feels the same.

Great repot, and glad to hear of your success. But, in typical Folly style you left us hanging. Who is the YouTuber you refer to?

Man, that is a bit on the heavy side for an entry. But they do advertise it is "The GOLD STANDARD FOR FISHING TOURNAMENTS".

I would like to be #3

What is it that we're looking at Cody? I see it's a broken part, but not sure what part.

I am not officially using a lathe. But turning a micro bamboo rod. It is a tenkara/tanago rod. I found alot of info on YouTube. Like @MrGiggles, I am using a drill. I have a few ideas, none are my own creations.

I don't want a mount of any One Fish, but I do appreciate the multiple fish mounts. The ones that look like a scene of habitat. I can't blame anyone for how they spend their money. I've wasted alot on things I no longer desire.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. We have a great forum, and excellent contribution. Thankful for you alll.

Strawberry pineapple cobbler. So easy, even I could do it. 2 cans of pineapple chunks, a small bag of frozen strawberries, pineapple cake mix, or any cake mix of.your choosing. Tonight's was actually a sugar free mix we never used for the intended purpose. One stick of butter cut into 9 or 10 pads. Spread out pineapples, layer strawberries, sprinkle cake mix, top with butter. Bake at 350 for 20 or 30 minminutes.Yum. I topped it with vanilla ice cream. This is my second time making it.

Well. I really am glad to see this continue. I really wanted to show up this year, but due to the circumstances, I can't. Hopefully by next year I'll be mobile enough to be able to walk the creek and catch an Olliefest fish. Have fun, be safe, looking forward to the report as always.

Brian is a wealth of info. I really like his videos.

Two Irishmen were working for the council works department. One would dig a hole and the other would follow behind him and fill the hole in. They worked up one side of the street, then down the other then moved onto the next street, working furiously all day without rest, one man digging a hole, the other filling it in again. An onlooker was amazed at their hard work but couldn't understand what they were doing. So he asked the hole digger, "I'm impressed by the effort you two are putting into your work but I don't get it: why do you dig a hole, only to have your partner follow behind and fill it up again?" The hole digger wiped his brow and sighed, "Well, I suppose it probably looks odd because we're normally a three-person team. But today the lad who plants the trees called in sick.

I did Cardiac a couple of years ago. Fishing was tough for me, but the group I went with seemed to do ok. I was wore out, and swore to never go back. I would go back, but I know to be physically ready. I've never been to suicide.

I was on the fence about knowing what my condition would be and promised to let you all know if I could make it. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend this year. I greatly appreciate every offer of support and idea to help me out. I am still not on 2 feet, I get my permanent cast off tomorrow, but will be non weight bearing for an additional 2 weeks on the left foot. Doesn't leave much time to learn to walk. I have a really tough time standing for 1 minute on my right with assistance. Enough down talk. Eric, congrats. Somebody needs to ride with Cody this year, to keep my seat warm. I plan to claim it back next year though. (WEAR WADERS, You will thank me later.)

The hairstyles.
