    I have some older Patagonia boots that take forever to dry. It’s not a huge deal but I’d like to avoid mildew and or other smelly shit from propagating in there. Does anyone have any tips besides putting them in front of a fan? Or to not worry about it?

    6wt beach line recs

    Any intermediate lines y’all would recommend? I’ve tried the Rio outbound short but I’m not sure if I love it on my sage pulse. Also I’m not the best caster in the world. Double haul needs work.
