As far as pistols go the choices are few IMO Most are pretty anemic. I like my hotrodded 1322 but all that pumping gets old after awhile. The Maruader pistol is kinda sweet.

Not sure if these were part of the set, but the one (which appears to be a half hitch tool) looks to be made from goose or turkey quill. The other is obviously a bobbin threader.

Very pretty! Take a gander at this Heirloom. Even the spool is walnut. My Papaw had it buried in a box of fly tying odds and ends. No clue how old it is.

My favorite trout park happening of all time was this old dude that had just stoked a big ol' Sherlock Holmes style pipe and got it all fired up real good, then while dicking with his tackle the pipe slipped from his teeth and he dumped it right down the front of his waders. The more he danced around cussing and pounding on himself the further down that 1/4oz. of burning tobacco ran down his legs. Once he finally got it all put out he just gathered up his stuff and went limping off to his car. 😂 The other memorable one was this dude in a pair of hip boots that looked to be 2 sizes too big. He was walking along up by the spring hole at Bennett and had his fly box out digging through it while he was clopping along, and he had a trout on a stringer that was swinging around his legs while he walked. We were leaning against my tailgate eating a sandwich, and I pointed and said, "that ol'boy better pull that fish up or he's gonna ...." No sooner than I said that the stringer hogtied him and WHOPP! the dude faceplanted one of those benches that sit along there. I busted out laughing like a maniac and couldn't pull it together. The dude was bleeding from the face really bad and everyone around there was rushing over to help him ...and looking at ME like I had somehow caused it.

Yeah 30 casts with an A-rig beats the heck out of 472 casts with a jerkbait.

Took me all of about 8 minutes to figure it out. It's far from my favorite way to fish .....until I get tired of trying (unsuccessfully) to make them bite "my way". Then I'm suddenly all about it. The first time I finally decided to tie one on I swung 21 pounds into the boat in under 3 hours. That'll make a believer out of you right quick. It taught me that I was indeed in the right spot....they just didn't wanna bite what I was throwing.

Well WE do. And we're not mistaken.

He didn't say it mattered, he said it bugged him. Bugs me too. What bugs me even worse are these Nancy boys that say "What difference does it make how others choose to fish?" Nothing is more annoying than a person who loves people. 🤣

There's two ways to think here .... Go light and move slowly, and you can hop out and drag the boat into deeper water if you need to. OR, go heavy, hammer down, and let the momentum of the extra weight slide you through. (What stops a Prius will usually not stop a Peterbuilt).

My wife got one, and the thought crossed my mind. I can't imagine it being better than baked though, and it may turn out dry and rubbery.

If told I could only persue a single type of fish, as much as I'd wanna choose River Smallies I'd have to go with White bass, because let's face it.....a man has got to eat. And Whites can be found just about everywhere.

It's going like crazy, been shooting a bunch. And I plan to get a squirrel hunt squeezed in before the season ends.....if the wind would just quit howling every day. Buying a Benjamin Fortitude .22 as soon as the Gen 2's hit the shelves. And I guess a hand pump. I'm not ready to spring for a compressor and tank yet. Also doing a Crosman 2100 project for my kid.

The waiting is the hardest part. Just love those golden-eyed little lovelies. 😍

Perfect 👌

The migration. The Gathering. The Love Movement. The Klan Rally. White Pride week. Don't get offended, just show up and get ya some!

I have 2 dozen Clouser's and a few other random patterns to fill in before the first of March.

High five on being a trooper. Good job! 👍

Those 90 Etec's must be bulletproof, as I have not even had the chance to lay my hands on one yet.

11 years and only 174k ? Dang, you're county lines are even shorter than mine !

70% crushed Ritz crackers, 30% corn meal, coarse ground pepper. Beat some eggs with a splash of beer. Dip, Dust, Fry. Yum! 😋

Well, until she learns to act like a princess you'll have to keep her on a leash with the other pets.

You're plum crazy. Anything below 2.0 at Windyville and 5.0 at Leadmine ....isn't high! I think you got too accustom to fishing it when it's exceptionally low.

Agreed. If you're gonna open up a package of bacon then just eat bacon.
