FWIW, i stil use my loop tradional reels. pre-setting "drag" so that taking more line from the reel stil works, and to prevent overrun when the high speed flyline makes contact with the reel, when i need more braking power i'll place my free hand on the outer rim of the spool. Have to be c...

Excellent documentary.

Have you seen "the game changers" on Netflix, if not, go and see.
Superb ways of convincing the most hardcore meateaters. (at least the ones with a functioning brain).

Lycra leggings seem to be the latest style for flats fishing - would that work? Been using them on the flats, mostly for UV protection, prevents mosquito bites-as the zika virus had been around on my latest destination- most comfortable, i must say, and with my skintype "chernobyl" it red...

Not woodwork , no knives, not even flyfish related but maybe some inspiration; Compressed leather, aluminum, shaped on lathe, we also tried a version with bone but the smell while shaping was disturbing.. https://scontent-amt2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/90695662_10222515020530153_8279642755555131392_o....

with a brick house yes, an aluminum boat is whole different game.

Ok so sit in the middle of the boat. Would touching the hull be a problem? yes. sudden death. no matter where the impact occurs on your faraday's cage. You want the electricity to be lead away the fastest possible way. Lightning will probably hit the highest point of the boat, a thick low resistanc...

Just got home from the flats. After some serious testing my conclusion is this. The tippet material i used on the previous trip from where my problems started was the issue. Can't pinpoint the date of purchase and/or manufacturing but do know that this was the problem. with the same material; fresh ...
