Fetch and retrievers can be a mixed blessing. My first Labrador didn't like the water when she was a pup, but eventually became the best duck retriever, all-time! My opinion. They all figure it out eventually. Patience!

Even the beast trained, most well behaved dog can do some unpredictable shit at times. A responsible dog owner is prepared for this at ALL TIMES!

Soak you line in warm water with some Dawn soap in it and wipe dry with a soft cloth.

I've used an intermediate line fo lake fishing for years. Great for fishing leeches and scuds around weed beds, as well as emerging nymphs. I really like FHI Scandi heads for trout spey, and for steelhead during the middle of the day. I used a 54' Gaelforce intermediate spey line quite a bit...

When dries or spinners are on the water, a size 16 std. Adams clipped flat on the bottom out performed anything on hebgen, Henry's Fork, and McDonald's Pond (RIP) for me. If they are keyed on emergers, a Quigley cripple is hard to beat. If it's windy, a feather duster in the film can be killer.

Brutha of another mutha!

My go to rod for all the above is a Loomis GL2 6'-6" for 1/4-3/4 oz. My preferred method fo fishing smallies is finessing jig heads, and the lighter rating is helpful for that. It also has enough backbone to throw decent size top water and crank baits too.

How many Cackhanded Snap Ts are required in the filming of a Simms promo?

Was that at the Stagecoach bar?

I think it's 800 lumens.

I've had the same rechargeable Streamlight for 15+ years and it hasn't let me down. I have a car charger and a wall charger for it. In addition I have a few USB Streamlight pen lights that I stash in strategic spots. Also I really like the USB headlamps made by Black Diamond. Again, I have a...

After you catch 100+ of them that internal conversation will be the same, you'll just have a better poker face.

Excellent post! The fore mentioned tragedy is exactly why the railroads don't allow trespassing. Even though CSX refused to grant permission to the film crew, they did it anyway. As a result, the family of the deceased young assistant camera person was able to get jury verdicts from CSX for...

I had an '83. The 16 feet refers to the gunnel length. With a reasonable payload, probably the best rowing fiberglass boat all time. FYI, it's not a highside.
