Where are you getting "cannot" from the regs? To shorten their words (in my opinion):
It's unlawful to use anything unless the hook to sinker is less than 6 feet.
Of course it would be...

Don't know if this helps, but here are some T6 prebuilt leaders on ebay:

These guys usually always have some Charlton stuff sitting around:

If I recall correctly, the owner's name is Harry and he's friendly and talkative.

Does anybody else wonder why nobody predicted all of this before winter?

I can guarantee that a receiver extension will be the cheapest way to go, unless you've got somebody that will do the trailer mod labor for free. Receiver extensions are cheap and available in a...

Cast vs machined isn't quite that simple when one also factors in forging. A cast and forged item may very well be stronger than something made by machining. Fly reels are limited-production items...

At a little lake like Heenan, that would be perfect. Just need a 4wd to back the trailer down to the lake and get out there. I used a 8' TPL pram on that lake for one of my most memorable days of...

303 Protectant is the only Armor-All like product that I would consider safe. Orvis used to sell 303 in a small package specifically for cleaning/coating fly lines.

Tony - if those fly lines have...

Ron, when are you going to contribute something of use to the board? Will you wait until you retire?

Bruce, when you say "keep em wet", then why does the first video on your blog have somebody (you?) holding a fish out of the water?

I don't believe that holding a fish out of water for < 5...

No downside, just do it. (and use google to find the best price) I bought my 30 hp Merc tiller that way. That didn't include shipping so I paid $400 to a freight company but still came out over...

If you're going to move around using fins on your boots, you want to be low.

As a prior poster said, if you're using oars, you have to factor in the location of your mounts and your rowing motion....

Everything that you wanted to know:

If you've got the money, go with one of the big company's current top 'o the line offerings. My favs are Sage Method and Orvis H2. The only top rod I didn't like was the Loomis NRX - the rod seemed...

Great news! I no longer live in the area, but it warms my heart and soul to hear this news.

Hopefully the flows out of Derby Dam can be managed to give these fish a fighting chance. (i.e....

That's unfortunate for you. Sierra Trading Post is offering 35% off orders over $100 which makes the line $40.27 after the discount but before shipping. Or do you think you could handle a new blue...

It's better to store the tubes partially inflated rather than fully deflating and folding. The folds can cause cracking in the vinyl/pvc/urethane. Don't inflate/deflate with the valves in sand -...

Aquaseal might work. It seems to bond to anything...

I guess I'll be the contrarian. I was there 2 or 3 years ago. The ponds are essentially abandoned gravel pits next to a working gravel pit operation. IIRC pretty much all of the water on all but...

I have got no problem with a car for sale in the classifieds. Yes, things could go too far, but an ad here and there is a long ways from that. First thread I opened this evening.

One procedure...

Bill, thanks for posting this but I wonder how in the heck they can actually make this a reality. Very few fish are caught from shore, and gas outboards aren't allowed. So folks are scattered...

Reel seats - so many that work well nowadays. My only very strong suggestion is to get a seat where the hoods have the reel's seat pockets machined. The other style would be where the hoods are...

OK, I guess I'm also a lurker. I'm in South San Francisco and would be happy to find someone to split the driving on the weekend trips.

I lived in the bay area as a kid and just moved back after...

The Madoffs bought Abel in '07. I read one report a few months ago that said the gov'ts efforts to recoup the money that Bernie stole may impact the Abel company. Never heard if that came to pass...

Another option is to go to the FFF website and look up a certified instructor, www.fedflyfishers.org
