Nope, won't be able to tie. I'm pretty upset about it. I have my sisters graduation ceromony to attend. Maryville College at 5pm.

Kelty or MSR...MSR is like the un "Official" tent of the AT. Pricey but more than likely worth the dough. I've got a buddy's Kelty. 2 man, takes about 3 minutes to fully set up. Simple!

I too was wondering about the seepage problems. USCORPS stated, which is still on their website, that they were going to keep the levels at 630 ft above sea level. It appears as if there 19' above...
Brother I don't think he was referring to you or your fish handling skills.
However, prior to landing a fish you should always dip or acclimate your hands in the water. This insures the fish are...
As far as tailwater guiding is concerned..having a boat and knowing how to row it, is about all it takes. However, as some have mentioned, multi-tasking and putting you clients on fish, teaching...

So if anyone is learning anything from this, it's that Mr. Brett is wasting alotta expensive hooks and other materials on creating this silly thing! What I'm loving even more about this thread is...
"I still struggle with this hatch on the SoHo....been blanked too many times with fish rising all around me. Sometimes it seems like the fish are keying in on the movement of the insect, if them legs...
I'm guessing right now that jealousy accounts for the lack of posting to this thread, though it is too soon to tell! Wowzers! Nice feeshies! This thread further pushes me in the pursuit of getting...
Trevor, the knot sense should be slightly pliable and should dry clear. It's tough stuff though! I've used it to reseal and strengthen my old sharkskin line after stepping on it with my rock...
Yea, and don't waste your money on that kit! Just buy Loons Knot Sense and a cheap L.E.D. light! Same thing or close too..I haven't tried it yet, but got rather ticked seeing the $84 price tag for...

I became jealous :mad:;) of your trip to Colorado and wanted to tie up some of those big uglies! Now I've seen realistics done this way, but never a fishable pattern. So I played around with it bent...
All I can really add on an inflatable is that I've seen guides run them over rock that I normally play plinko in. There pretty tough, and you'd have to be moving at a good clip and hit a really...
Call it the "Loco X", it's nice! I wish I could throw something that big around here. Make my life alot easier at the vice. Makes me wanna move west and master the hopper!

Flyman, I guess that's what I'm getting at..Is it worth striving for a realistic immitation or using something close? Will the extra 3 to 5 minutes at the vice really make that big of a difference....
Flyman as always, you've outdone yourself! Beautiful ties! Gorgeous across the board. Something to truly aspire too! You got me deeper in thought thinking about matching details. Something I...
