As always Trap, necessity is the mother of invention. I have a brand new compressor from a fridge hmmmm.
Was a warranty for a fridge I bought, the company sent me one, and the service guy brought one with him.
I installed a power port in my Jeep, power inverter, Tubing, a little freon....I could keep my worms cool.....

ohhhhh  why is  making things  work  so much  fun??

I think we all have a little Mc"Guy"ver in us....That empowering feeling of making it yourself, it never is a bad thing to feel good about yourself. Self esteem governs what we project to others.

Suns trying to break through here, overcast, and a little cooler than the rest of the week was, brutal hot. Waiting for a weather update from SNAGGER on his Salmon thread, as to how much rain we got last night. Man, It poured!! Have a great day out there and good luck!!!--KP

Sun's out nice here in Macedon. Had a great walk and workout this morning. The streams are too high to handle today, haven't settled on an alternative as yet.

This is one of the best posts we have had on the NY section.
I had a blast with a (clears throat) Very bad replica of what Trap had on here as a clouser. Used a small streamer that was pretty chewed up. Laid some deer hair on it. Is ugly as sin... But hit the grand slam on the Hudson.
Started with four really nice chubs, all 10-12" then a few small rock bass. Moved to another spot and hit a nice small mouth a few more rockies and a couple stockie browns. Was a blast.... Learned what they wanted the fly to do while untangling my line from a lost fish. Line snapped back and wadded up....... Fly was dancing along the top below me and wham!!! a chub hit it. Rest of the fish were caught with a cast to 2 o'clock and then drift below me and dance it a little. Wanted to get the boat out tomorrow but may just go back and play in the river. Need to save gas anyways.....
