    Trout Derby 2021

    Man, thought I had more time, I’ve been sandbagging LOL. After flight back a few things developed and then got Vax #2 tues knocking me out about 20 hrs oddly. Had a good run this spring even though it felt short. Will be out again once this rain hits. Dry dry dry right now.

    [Archived] What did you Buy Today?

    A buddy offered to run them then bailed and I didn’t have time so redid insulation and just repurposed old baseboard drops, etc for dedicated rooms in the last rental. Find baseboards on a lot around the house and with 4 heat pumps they aren’t necessary and pretty costly. I’m slowly removing...

    If you need a sub-panel that’s small I bought a few from a Corp supplier for each rental then ran straight from the existing two service panels. I couldn’t get small sub boxes with small 10-15@ breakers without going to a large supplier. Lowe’s/HD has the single breaker or other normal ones used...

    For the St Croix fans, I also have another coming. This one is a vintage glass model. The next one is a 9’ 5 or 6wt. I think I’ll tell the guy send the 6. It’s a mod action blank and a bit of a classic older Avid. I prefer the Imperial but ultimately, I’m up to 4 or 5 fly rods and can’t even...

    Soon very soon

    If anyone finds some some I’d like to buy a hundred LOL. Here they are in driveway puddles. I can’t find them ever and hear they are great for trout. I find some fish with crawdads inside too and have a knack for catching those but again by many of areas where I haunt for an odd reason I don’t...

    I recall I used something similar to slip loops over a flie hook eye when tying, going back a few decades though.

    Ferrules hollow, how to fill

    I mean both ends are hollow, the end that inserts is hollow too, not sure how wrap on that side would work, unless you wrap below the friction fit depth so it doesn’t interfere. I did wonder if it was weight or action related but even my soft action BP rods designed for a unique action have...

    A-5 you still need to teach me that one, can they get out from under piles of other tools though? If not it’s not going to help me.

    Setting Up a little girl for all types of fishing

    Also, TS/A-5, with your blessing I’ll tell them it’s a PAAnglers gift so I’m not a weird friends Dad. Might be fun once the site grows to server breaking status to sponsor a kid each year. Could be Sob story or maybe a focus of our contest. I won’t say most fish because then I’ll have to start...

    Setting Up a little girl for all types of fishing

    So y’all saw my post on trout fishing. It’s been eating me up all day that my daughters friend broke her little pole at the joke of a kids derby. I’ve decided to outfit her. Her parents aren’t hard up but have 8 kids so the fact that her Mom has dedicated time over 1.5 yrs to try and catch fish...

    Ferrules hollow, how to fill

    ? The mini pin has hollow ferrules, bugs me to no end, add $15 and plug the things, preferably with a friction fit material, For the rod builders what do you do if your blanks have hollow ferrules other than buy better blanks?

    Daughter and her friend didn’t do so well dealing with adults fishing kids derby so we went to the dock. Each caught 12-15 brown/tigers 4lbs+, all but wore me out between both rods going near constant,
