I believe I need to stretch that sucker out and drag it around after ice-out. Very nice, Norm.

Re: Plover & Yellow; Does the Hook Change the Look?

I love them all, nicely done. Hell, I love any hook that isn't a Tiemco 200R.

Re: Fall shutdown - & +

I literally can't imagine how I'd react to being caught up in the western water wars. I fished the west when I was younger, and water wasn't an issue; I had a blast. I'm a worn out and broken down farmer, but I've had the benefit of all the water I could ever use; Christ, we just got 3.5" of ra...

If I could leash a black fly I'd have me a flying junk yard dog. Evil things, they are; Eee-vil.

Art Flick book...

I just finished reading, "Art Flick, Catskill Legend" by Roger Keckeissen. I had seen a copy in Ken Callahan's latest catalog and bought it. I'm glad I did. The author, Roger Keckeissen, had never written a book before, never even thought about it. His claim to fame was being able to recit...

Re: Diamondback Rod

Howdy All; Had to work around as I got a 404 not found when I went to follow the link Mike provided. I shortened the address to just Al's web site, which still functions. Then re-read the link's address and found when it was posted to the blog. Sept. 2016. Then it was an easy scroll to find it. I s...
