Roadkill, If I were trying to produce colors on three-dimensional material, then I would concern myself with the appropriate inks in CMY (cyan/magenta/yellow), a subtractive color scheme. However, I am referring to the diffuse light reflected from the object (or emitted from the monitor). It is ligh...

Orange really does work. Optically, orange is an interesting color. When we look at something orange on our monitor it is actually a mixture of Red and Green - because our monitors have red, green, and blue pixels. In equal proportions Red (R) and Green (G) make yellow. Add more R and you have Orang...

Yes, the Wilton Town Hall Theatre has the latest in FF movies - Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. http://www.wiltontownhalltheatre.com/ Of course, active military personnel get in free, the popcorn is inexpensive, and sometimes they have a cartoon as well. I recall when they were showing "The Joy Lu...

wayneb, Here is the taper for the 10' 6wt, which we originally thought was a Nichols. This is a very slow rod but it will pick up and shoot a lot of line with minimal backcasts. Of course, it requires intermediates. Being built pre-1900, it is of Calcutta cane, so using Tonkin cane will make it stif...

wayneb, I'm sure you have settled on a long bamboo rod taper by now. Many people have been discouraged by casting 9' or longer cane rods designed for bass bugging; I don't blame them. However, I have had quite a few 9'-10' rods in 3wt-6wt that were a joy to cast. As you mentioned, sufficient weight ...

Putting you material;s in a freezer will not kill eggs. It will if that is where you store your liquid nitrogen. ;) Dealers in oriental rugs know all about moths. See http://www.jacobsenrugs.com/care.htm#moths and they recommend pyrethrins. Permethrin, a pyrethrin derivative, is the insecticide app...

Camphor is an excellent moth repellent and yet has a pleasant smell to some (like me). It is a natural product, but in sufficient quantities can be seriously toxic, so the FDA has limited camphor to 11% in consumer products. The old moth balls used camphor. Members of the mint family contain camphor...

I have a fifteen foot two-hander cane rod that I have been promising myself I would rewrap and fix some delaminations. That's never going to happen :D It is a very light-in-hand rod because the butt section is so thick that the center of it is hollow. I had visions of using a six weight line and enj...

Vicki, Have no fear, fly fishermen, especially those who seek trout, are not equipped with a libido. Maybe it is standing in cold running water up to the waist, perhaps it is OCFD (Obsessive Compulsive Fishing Disorder), but for some reason -- studies prove this -- a fly fisherman watching a svelte ...

I still drool every time I see an old Hardy Perfect 3 1/8" left hand retrieve. Obviously, if I should ever own one, I would need to wear a bib or corrode the reel.
