With all due respect......Not everyone needs instruction on how to fish. Plenty just want someone with a boat, to give them a ride. 👍 Besides, the odds are that the ones considered "Good Guides" are just going to rig you up with a bobber & a scud anyway. 🙄

When you caught one...what were you doing, and what type of water were you doing it in ? Gotta pay attention to every little detail.....then try to find places to repeat it. Like putting together a puzzle. Hang in there 👍

That's the politically correct way to say that Doctors killed him. 😔

Nice work, bro ! 👍 Beautiful fish.

I'm sure that he was proficient at it, but he was more famous for warm water/saltwater stuff.....Hence his stockpile of old 8-9wt. orange lines. 😊

Even if the "floating device" is the FLY LINE ? The little snippet of heavier orange line at the line/leader connection simply keeps the tip of the fly line from riding beneath the surface. And it gives your eyes something to concentrate on. There is no hinge.

Suit yourself, but colored mono just sinks, and when you're 25'-40' away you can't see it. A full ORANGE line doesn't allow me to notice those tiny little twitches, but that little piece of visuality alerts me to every little pause. That little section of 8-9wt. floating fly line stays up even in the broken water of a fast riffle. Doesn't impede the cast at all. Allows for perfect mends because you can see if your mending is moving more than just the fly line.....which makes it beneficial for fishing dry flys too. Works better than anything for me. 👍

😅 "Focal Point" 😊

I really wish I had kept the envelope !

Scientific Anglers used to have a 8-9wt. Line in ORANGE that could be pulled off the Dacron core, cut into inch long pieces, and slid up and glued onto a leader. Makes for a really sweet sighter for nymphing. About 16 years ago I had ran out and couldn't find any anywhere, but Flip responded to a post on the Flyfisherman magazine forum saying that he had some, and would dig through his garage to see if he could find it. About 6 days later I received an envelope in the mail with 6 feet of that line. I'm still using it 😊

Probably where the old saying...."Went to $#!t and a bear ate him". came from.

There's just something about hearing that pellet hit your meal....."WHAP !" And then all the other critters in the area are like.... "Look at that idiot falling out of the tree for no reason" 😅

If you're talking about the Bassmaster Classic I'd have to say "Wait & See". The direction that B A.S.S. is going I'll be surprised if they aren't extinct by then.

How does that make any sense? Harmless if in your lungs or stomach.....but deadly if it accesses your sinuses? If that's true then it would be better to taste a fart, than to smell one. When exposed to heavy fumes is it better to breathe through your mouth ?

When we were kids there was the "town branch" that we played in. I mean every drop of rain that hit the streets & ditches ran through it. We freely DRANK that ! And I don't mean a little sip here and there..... I'm talking about DRINKING IT ! It's truly a wonder.....

"Health officials have not disclosed the patient’s country of origin, but have stated that they are currently under intensive care". I'm curious why that little tidbit was included in the report 🤔

Well Hell, Gotta admit.....I've certainly never avoided being close where those came from! 🤷

I have 4 different temperature measuring devices, and since they all indicate differently there's no sense in discussing the values.......But one consistency among them is that our hottest day so far this year has been 8° warmer than the hottest day last year.

It's so embarrassing that the local news has stopped reporting them. I expect they'll stop reporting small children drownings soon too. 😔

And goose poop ! 😅 The element of septic runoff that should concern everyone, is that 99.9% of everyone's expulsions are loaded with antidepressants of all sorts, Adderall, Viagra, and God knows what all else. The crowds at the pharmacy every hour of every day is equally comparable to the crowds of people at the grocery stores. Everybody out there (except ME) is taking some prescription.....and their taking it every single day. It ain't just the steak & taters that you ate 3 days ago that freak me out.....Hell all the alcohol drank should make THAT harmless...... it's all those other chemicals that are exiting your system. 😲

Maybe.....Just MAYBE......The dude has the first known case of CWD in humans. Who's to say ?

In all truthfulness, assuming this is REAL, I'm blown away by the alleged diagnostic discovery of this ! They can't even diagnose Cancer, Lyme, RMSF, or Covid.....with any amount of certainty. And now here we go with THIS ? 🙄 Meanwhile things are beginning to point out (if you truly look into it) that what we've all been programmed to believe about Lead, Fluoride, asbestos, ect. exposure for many years ...... is all BS. You really can't believe anything anymore. But could you ever ? 🤔 Likely the most dangerous thing that almost EVERYBODY consumes regularly......is that good ol' Liquor. & Beer. No brain eating issues there ! Yeah right ! 🙄 Can't include Wine in that statement..... because I mean....God Forbid!

That float test line is actually a quote from Les Barkley. 😊 Wish I could take credit for it though.
