One might fall out of the sky tomorrow.....but currently I don't have one.

One of the greatest things about my line of work is that I often get gifted some really great eatsπ Any tips on preparing this here Moose Tenderloin?
-
And that's all that counts π Hey, the fact that you fished that day, and I didn't...... I'm spanked ! π
-
I've settled on a simple fur strip behind any type of muddler head. Fast water/Slow water/Still water.......For ME that gets bites consistently. Regardless of species. Spank me with a ZC, any day, and I'll buy you dinner & drinks. π That Cougar does look better in the vise though....No doubt.

You have done a fine job there, looks greatπ But of all the streamer patterns I've ever worked on, I gotta say THAT ONE has been a bonafide loser for ME. Can't even get a White bass to eat one during the peak of the spawning run. π€·ββοΈ

Yet again another vintage fly rod find.
fishinwrench replied to BilletHead's topic in General Flyfishing Topics
Right on π The "FF" in the model # stands for "Fenwick Ferrulelite". Early '80's I think. -

If you ever decide to part with that sweetheart.....Please lemme know π -
Yet again another vintage fly rod find.
fishinwrench replied to BilletHead's topic in General Flyfishing Topics
My very first flyrod was a 806 brown Fenwick with a 6wt. Level line. That one you have has a nicer reel seat on it π I fished that rod for about 10 years.....then traded it to a guy for a Remington Nylon 66 .22 rifle (that surprisingly was a TACK DRIVER). Does that one have metal ferrels on it ? That's the only thing I didn't like about mine.....and I'm not sure why, because it felt and casted really nice, even with the crappy line. -
Got dads Willyβs jeep running after 53 years
fishinwrench replied to LittleRedFisherman's topic in General Chat
Same ! Didn't even lock the truck either. One day, after school, we even threw clay pigeons and shot them in the school parking lot..... with our shop teacher! He had a sweet over/under, and had built a hand thrower that would throw doubles. -

When I was a kid our neighbor had an old Willy's Jeep. When we'd get a big snow he would tow 5-6 of us neighborhood kids around the streets of town on a big sled. Man that was FUN ! A fella would go to jail for life ("endangering the welfare") if you did that NOW. π -
The jury is still out on the health factor, I think...... There's 1/2 cup of butter on that plate π

Get in boys...... I'm fixin' to RUNNOFT ! -
Speaking of pissing & moaning...... Why is it that I have to piss every 20 minutes once I put waders on ? π€¬
-
By chance, do you remember (back in the day) when I used to piss & moan about an old buddy that I fished with frequently......and how long it took him to get suited-up & rigged ? I'd like to take all that smack talk back now, JFTR π

HELP WRENCH

Your starter solenoid is stuck closed. -
Typically those units initially failed because of bad power switches, or dirty/damaged pins in the connectors.....and are good as new after the repairs.

Me too ! The only thing they seem to truly care about is DEER...... Meanwhile there are 2 per mile lying dead on the shoulder of the highway.

Sufficient battery voltage is #1 What is it ? -
Deer season REALLY brings them out. π I never see one any other time of the year. Wonder why that is ? π€ The one patrolling this area is a Dog Handler, and has a German shepherd partner. Not sure that I can understand that deal. Nice truck and shoes too.....looks like he keeps them both well polished.

Need Wrench's Help
fishinwrench replied to Maverickpro201's topic in Tips & Tricks, Boat Help and Product Review
Brother, if they "ran good" they wouldn't be here. π And honestly anything under a 15hp isn't worth me spending any time on. I'll snap a pic of them tomorrow if it isn't raining, and if you want to spend the time to refresh one of them then you are welcome to them. It would be just one less thing for me to weed-eat around π -
I will pass the info along to a guy that might be able to help out. Peace, brother π
