How do you get polarized without tint? I've been told by several that tint was required.

I could go on any of those excursions and never have to crank in between casts, unless I just wanted to make it hard. I stream fish mostly and "the spot" may be a few feet long and less wide, do you think it's easier just to flip a fly line back into the spot or to crank and crank and then cast back into that spot? But I ain't likely to fish all day, 10 or 20 fish I'm ready just to watch or go home. Might just watch from the start, or maybe you don't understand lazy?. You guys ain't gonna talk me into buying no spinning or casting tackle just because you think cranking is easy. All that shift the rod to the other hand stuff too. While I'm thinking about it name the best roll casting rod- that one that you'd pick if you knew for certain you'd never ever make another back cast? What about whites is it you like wrench? I've never caught one that I recall, but the ones my son in law caught for a fish fry didn't impress me much as an eating fish. Do they make long runs or spectacular jumps?

I think wrench is right, but any map like that is reliant on verifiable field input or birder reports. I'm 99 44/100 sure that Baldies nested in my front yard about 20+ years ago, but I never reported it and now only see them occasionally. Goldens only rarely in winter. >>On a second look, I see what Johnsfolly means; up the Mo. River drainage for fishinwrench and up the Ar. River drainage for me it does show a year round population, and if they are year round that would mean some breed here even if they wintered some place south and the winter birds go north to breed. Those links do have other info/pages linked to them. Cornell is the best bird site on the net, even if they sometimes miss something.

Those vimeo always say the "player is down, will repair soon " or something like that. Probably my browser but I can't recall one ever working. I see fly fishing for any fish as the lazy man's approach, I can roll or flick my lure back into "the spot" a hundred times without ever "cranking in" line a single time. Same rod and reel is adaptable for micros to 4# bass or strippers in the Bay, so I don't have to carry around 12 dozen rods and reels. Back when I was young a lot of trolling was done with fly tackle, Pfleuger's Sal-Trout 1558 at ~5.5" and ~1 1/4 # was designed for not casting midges. The only way that any fishing method excels over any other method is in our minds, if I had to use casting gear, I'd quit fishing altogether, but for many casting gear is the bee's knees. No rod and reel (or pole and line) method is an efficient way to harvest (catch) fish or there would be no net users and no trotlines.

The land owner, Bob Haskins, between Jolly Mill and the MDC land is very cooperative with anglers and the MDC as to fishing from his land, as was his father before him. The parking lot with the cable across it is closed at night to keep out the party people, he built that and planted trees on his land and maintains it for us anglers - he unlocks it when he gets out in the mornings which might vary. Near that lot there is a V gate, by his driveway, that Bob made for us to access that side and across the new bridge he has provided a stile to cross the fence. I would not "Climb over the fence" when he has provided such easy access, fence climbing aggravates any land owner, it is equivalent to tearing the fence down. Also just up the road past the mill MDC has a parking lot, but that would be a longer walk. The Walleye Road bridge lot is owned and maintained by MDC and you can fish all the way between bridges and also down stream to Shoal Creek. MDC has a couple parking areas in between the bridges that you can use, but the hike to the creek is a long one. I am not sure about fishing in the Park, I have been told that walk in is fine below the mill but not in the mill pond, although I think the four mile management area per MDC publications would extend a mile upstream above the mill. That four mile management area may be reduced and the pubs not updated, I'm seeing ~1.5-1.75 miles between the Mill and the Shoal Creek junction. I can say that the park area below the mill is very heavily fished by park users. The stream is currently a White Ribbon Trout area Map shows the MDC land and parking and I scribbled in about where Mr, Haskins' lot is in red.

Linseed, tung oil and varnish are accepted long time wood finishes, hard finish like epoxy needs a hard surface under it. Watco oil is new to me but it says oil and varnish so should work well.

Deer story, when I was kid in Idaho, the whole village set up an ambush with old men, the women and some kids sat along a canyon and younger able men horse backing hunted the mountain and basically drove the deer down the canyon; Dad was horse back and shot a buck that took off the skull cap and antlers and a doe at the same time. When he rode up to them he first cut the does throat thinking the open brain cavity meant the buck was fully dead, well, that buck woke up, knocked Dad over and ran down canyon where it was knocked down three times by other hunters before it stayed dead. All but Dad's shots were heart/lung shots too. Dad mounted those horns. Squirrel story, in my late twenties in RI, I got a Welsh Springer that loved to hunt, but never barked, so one day in the woods behind an industrial park she took after a grey squirrel and as I stood there waiting for her to tree or something all at once something grabbed one leg and then my back and head- that squirrel had circled and thought I was a tree I guess, it made a circle around my head and leaped over to a bush and from there to a real tree. I fully understand MOPanfisher's surprise. I didn't wet my pants but I lost enthusiasm for the hunt that day.

My gal puts them in the night before and slow cooks them in the oven. We do eat them more often than just the holidays, right now you can probably fill a freezer for a few bucks, well not right now, but tomorrow or the next day..

Find where they roost and get there at day light or just before, I've sat in one place and killed a limit many times in the '60s. At every shot (with .22LR) they all hid but they can't stay hid, curiosity eats on them and out they come. Some areas will be community roosting places for many years, not sure why because to me they look just like other places in the woods. They come and go in almost a migratory fashion, some days/weeks I could take a limit in my yard and then for weeks never see one. Take two flattish rocks and rub-tap them together and you can call them in some times. Takes some practice and cup the hands just so, but I used to do it to entertain the kids. I need to go find a fox squirrel for a fly tying skin. Quit hunting them for food long time ago because She don't like to eat them.

Take the connections apart and clean them? Oxidation (or whatever it is) creeps into and under good looking connections and starting systems usually have just enough juice to get by when everything is perfect. (low voltage and DC) Got a volt meter? I've had battery cables on trucks that looked good but ate the voltage ~13v in and 6-7v out of a wire will cause just that sort of problem on a truck, starter motor spins but the starter drive won't kick in.

Not sure how that would be different than hitting the kill switch, but another interesting thing is some saws are timed so near TDC that they can start and run backwards, brother and his buddy both had Jonsereds do that. Stihl won't fire at all if the crank speed is too low- think it's 900rpm to fire the the things, was told this was to prevent running backwards. The saw racing guys lean them out, gut the mufflers and port the exhaust and get a few thousand more rpm, I don't know what the fly apart speed is but it's greater than I used to think.

Most chainsaws I've owned ran 9000-14000 rpm regularly. At least a few minutes at every start up, and at every cut through 12k+ is common on the Stihls I've used wot bar and chain no load. Or at least the mechanic said that's what they did. I read some line trimmer specs that said 9600 wot with loaded head. iirc husky saws run in the 9-10k range and stihl runs 12-13k My saws no longer get daily use there were years when a saw would see 1000-1500 hours in a year. A saw or trimmer is wot or off so 6000 is below par and I would ask for my money back. My truck, you're right it seldom goes over 3800.

I watch about 6 minutes of TV a day on average and don't even recognize the names of most shows you all talk about. She says "why do you even turn that on, you know you will just fall asleep."

I don't make this kind of stuff, but my thoughts are: flux (try laundry Borax, if you have it) is to clean the metal and almost every hot metal work can benefit from fluxing. If you can work out a way to immerse the hooks in the lead pot for a minute or two they will be the same temperature as the lead with little chance of over heating. What you are doing is in essence soldering the hook with a huge glob of solder, I think what is happening is the hook is cooling the lead fast enough that it shrinks away from the hook into the still molten mass and results in a "cold solder joint". In the best of worlds a ball of molten lead should stick to a clean and fluxed straight wire. The other suggestion would be to get some self tinning flux and tin the hooks prior to pouring, by heating each hook and plunging it into the flux; more labor involved. The difference in this and your other molds would be in the size- the 3x larger mass takes much longer to cool so the internal cooling caused by the cold hooks becomes more apparent. I believe all hooks are coated with something (oil from manufacturing process might be present) to cut down on corrosion, this coating may be the problem, paint peels with heat.

Let me know if you find a sure-fire fly for red horse. and what works best for cats.

Flux the hooks? solder it? epoxy? pour the head around a wire and split ring the hook to that? I can't see any hooks in the picture so not sure what is what. It looks like a spoon with the hook inside like a Sliver Minnow? May need to have the hooks hot when pouring?

I do like Classy pickups tho.

Thanks, my wife says I'm too old for camping, besides Historic Down Town Benmett Springs is out of my three county travel area.

Is wild oaks primitive , classic, rustic or sports camping?

How many$$$?

Link? All I have found are reports based on the the MDC press release posted as op.

The article does not say "felon in possession of a firearm" .

Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer nor a doctor but I have stayed in a motel: as this reads, I think it would only make him a felon, not that he was a felon; if on probation for J-walking and restrained from having firearms your kids toy gun in the seat of your car could get this accusation etc. A charge isn't in itself any more than an accusation, doesn't mean anything really until sentence is passed - if the charge has no merit or is unprovable and is dropped by the prosecutor, it would have no bearing on the case or cases that stand. Watching any Disney movie is "cruel and unusual punishment" and should be thrown out if appealed to a higher Court.
