Hi Martin, another t

Hi Martin, another tip to make the frame last longer is to treat it with clear Tectyl, especially apply it on the inside of the frame tubes! Note: I have a new emailadress.
Lots of fun,

Hey there

Hey there...i live in northern ireland and have found it very difficult to find anywhere to fix the felt on my waders (which stinks) which is peeling off..after numerous calls i found a replacement kit on ebay which i am now waiting to be delivered...After all the searching i have also heard that evo stik wet grab which you can get from B&Q for around £8 is supposed to work very well too....going to try the replacement kit first to see how it works...so fingers crossed this works...

Good article, I have done some in chartreuse and some in red, colour the epoxy, roll the nylon in it, wait until dry then put
a very small dab of black on the very end of the nylon, voila!! you have an eye with a pupil, and they look good especially
on bonefish flies. Neil.

James,

I am certainly no expert! So I won't email you...

But in my own experience the best chickens we had were slaughtered in the late summer when they had grown to almost full size. We had a year with several Orpington roosters (we were not allowed to have roosters in our neighborhood), and these were slaughtered about the time when they started being noisy (very noisy!).

Industrial chickens live as short as 30-40 days before slaughter, but my guess is that ours were more like 100 day old when we ate them. And they were certainly the best chickens I ever tasted!

We have also eaten a whole lot of the older egg laying hens, several years old. They were nowhere near as tender, some of them only suited for soup! But if my memory serves me right, even the older Oprington hens were delicious. They are very meaty birds.

As I said: I'm no expert, so use this information as you please.

Hi guys,

I find it helpful if you include a list of materials and recommended hook pattern etc. This is a really good looking pattern and you've put it together in a way I haven't seen before.

Walter,

Since the charts are made as PDF-files, you can just zoom in. Your PDF-reader has a zoom function, and you can get the fonts (almost) as big as you want. If you print the, well, you either have to get some bigger paper or use several sheet. The wide spreadsheets simply won't fit if the font gets too large.

Let's see the result once you are done. I have a whole lot of Scintilla still lying around from back when, and it's great dubbing!

Well, I've tried zip

Well, I've tried zipcast for a couple of months. I hate taking time to clean the line so was looking for something easy, fast and good. It definitely is a great way to clean the line. One pass on a relatively clean line does the trick. A few passes on a dirty line quickly does the trick too. I'm using SA Mastery and SA Supreme. However, honestly, I think other products dress the line better in terms of flotation and lubrication. The upside is that zipcast leaves no residue at all, which some of the other products do.

I only want to purchase very lightweight tips, not all the parts of the rod, for construction of lizard catchers. Is it possibe to only buy the lightest two sections for my unique needs?
