If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

Work on that double haul bud! You'll need it for distance.

Here's what I consider to be the best instructional video on the double haul. Joan Wulff is poetry in motion with a fly rod. Pay attention to her foot positioning and body movements. Fly casting is an athletic motion. It uses the whole body for performance.

Looks like it was way too windy for the fly rod!!! Noodle rods were a little weak for # ounce weights so we got some ocean rods and some sand eels! Lotsa seals and birds crashin but no takers on vaca. Did see some whales tho!!

Glad you all got back safe and had a good time. I'm thinking those Steelhead are in serious trouble now ;D

I've been working on the "Boo" rod. So far I've stripped it, repaired the small separation in one of the tips, removed the reel seat, cleaned the grip, reset a loose ferrule and put 2 full strength coats of Spar Varnish + 3, 50/50 coats rubbing in between with 0000 steel wool.

Whew!

A couple more coats and I go to pumice then rottenstone.

Then I can put the new reel seat on it and start re-wrapping.

I do have a couple of experiments at the fly bench to work on. It looks like I may get my chance this weekend.

Uhhh you were a mod, mentioning sports is not allowed on the open board  :nono: :police: :nono:
Besides Jr. has more sense than Sr. & apparently you,   1/2 a game?   :rotflol: :rotflol: :rotflol: :rotflol:
I was berated for fishing & asked recently by a PETA type.  You don't keep fish do you?  I responded "No I don't like aquariums. I just treat them like a quick haircut, & take a little of the sides"
