Wow, you guys are fast. I just got back into town after a week hiking/fishing/chilling at Sun Lakes. Tried to go to 11worth to boulder but we decided it was too smokey after our poor visibility in Sun lakes. I would love to get out to those that posted inquiries, I need to unpack and get settled but yeah some fly sesh would be cool both Rob and Yellowlab. I will drop pm's when I get a window.
Also, I only had one rod/reel setup (5wt) and sadly I left it on the roof of the van after I finished my last run at Dry Lake...needless to say it is toast. I will replace it tomorrow

Alot of the usual nonsense but some info if you filter out the chaff.
Good luck
PS, I think Bill Coes comment on the bottom is the most sound, hes got the wisdom.

What are those two-holed thingies under the brake bar?
Would you consider selling a single warthog and, if so, how much?
Where are you located?
Looks like Peck Crackers.

...At Vantage, I have more than once seen...
I have a hard time visualizing you at Vantage RD, are you slipping a little?

Absolutely beautiful! Nice work and I totally love this...

Apparently a well tied, clean figure 8 will not need a backup knot...just a nice little tail.
For me, I like a half fisherman's knot in the tail for psychological reasons.
I am sure you will get a myriad of opinions on the merits of a variety of backups...rewoven, glued, tied and stapled.
Bottom line is if it makes you feel better and push harder...do what works for you.

Sold! Thanks Beautiful_corn!

Regrettably I am going to sell my double ledge purchased just before we moved back up here from Vegas in 2001.
This ledge has been in storage and is in unused condition.
The package contains the ledge, tent pole fly and the full coverage expedition fly.
Asking $400.00 obo and will meet if you you're not too far away, I am in Tacoma.
Not super stoked to ship it.

Just wait until you start tying flies. My wife looks at me like a crack head as I stand in the store comparing two different shades of pink maribou and checking them for their "fluffines." And I don't even fly fish anymore.

That would be it! Thanks Jon!
@Yellowlab, thanks! Any info in addition would be cool, getting into it and am looking for good resources!
Cheers

I looked and found nothing pertinent.
Do any of you know of a NW specific forum for fly fishing?
Thanks in advance

I dislocated my elbow falling poorly from a roof problem in October and really started climbing and pushing the arm 5 months later, it's still weird feeling as heck but it works.
Bottom line; I took the injury as an opportunity to re-examine myself, climbing, what I wanted out of the activity.
I don't climb anywhere near V7 but I enjoy the sport at pretty much any level (that I can do) and I firmly believe simply enjoying climbing is a worthy goal.
Make realistic goals in the recovery/strength building phase and rediscover the beauty of movement and simply being out doing something you love.
The numbers game is out the window and the satisfaction game is in play.
The again I have been climbing for nearly 30 years so it's is curious how other folks view the time off.
Good luck with recovery and just have fun, that's why we do it anyway correct?
Don't forget to drink lots of water to help the healing.

I don't know how it would affect rope, but pure lemon oil (get it at super supplements/GNC/online) removes sap and other sticky stuff like nothing else.
Assuming all citrus oils are the same, I had a bottle of Orange oil in my refrigerator and the oil that leaked out, melted the plastic shelf, pretty gnarly stuff, not sure if I would want that near nylon. Curious tip though and worth testing.

They are a wee bit stiffer. IMHO

Thanks to Jon for turning me on to this forum to further my flyfishing knowledge. But after lurking around for a few weeks I begin to see some striking similarities.
Bolt wars become Bass wars and the cast of characters are pretty much the same.
Good times.
