Yea? Well you often hear women say they want to have another baby but I have never heard a man say he wants to have another kidney stone - now what does that say about pain levels, hmm? Or maybe you all are serious deranged masochists???

 

Nice fish Marty! Those rooster tails been around for a longtime. I can remember using them back in 1970.

 

I've always had good luck with them catching brookies. Back then I used a #3 Mepps split tail floater for bass and had great results.

 

I made a few of these to try next year. Got the idea from this picture.

 

Nice Mike!! That'll get'em

 

F

im partial to Pepsi. We will see . I put my ultralight in the well halfway through the season. An excuse too pull it back out

 

Going through labor is a draw back to pregnancy. Want a baby, gotta go through labor. Pain memory lessens as time passes. Did I LIKE my labors, definitely NOT!!!! But I LOVE my boys, so painful or not, it was worth it. If there was a way to avoid labor, I'd be all for it. But then again

What are we watching? hmmm

Never seen one made from a bottle cap. Used to fish with colored yarn - worked for some folks

 

Nice Marty! I remember rooster tails in the 70's too. Have had my best luck for trout on a Mepps minnow in size 0 or 1, caught a lot of trout with those. Picked up my first fly rod in the 70's traded a big boar coon hide and couple of muskrats for it. Think it still had catgut leader LOL. First few years caught a lot of "tree trout" but now fly rod is pretty much all I use.

Pretty much packed for heading up North in the morning to spend the week with the dog in a cabin on the edge of the BWCA Wilderness grouse hunting. Well below freezing though so can't pack the truck until the morning Got some heat packs today to keep the water bottles from freezing solid while we are in the woods.

 

Stay warm. Pup should have a blast.

 

Silk and wool long johns already packed. If it wasn't for the pup I wouldn't even go. Love watching him run and hunt but also I get a kick out of watching him sleep when the day is over. And his legs twitch in his dreams like he is still running after birds.

 

He should sleep well after running all day

 

Have fun mike!

 

Thanks Marty and me too! My thanksgiving dinner plans are based around grouse as the bird instead of turkey. Which is the other original American bird. Would hate to resort to eating something out of a can instead

 

We you fishing up in your area?

 

perfect timing then, haha! wasn't trying to start anything, just poking fun

 

Good luck and ya'll enjoy the week Mike. Stay safe and warm.

 

I had to lock all my toolboxes when our boys were early to mid teens. Started the first time I found tools in the backyard, luckily before I cut the grass. They had to come to me to be issued tools, and I did an inventory when they were done.

You haz toolbox now? When are getting your workbench?

 

Good morning All. My cups of coffee are going to taste extra good this morning being its 51 degrees. This is are first real cold front this season. It feels good after a very hot summer with the real feel high temperatures around 101 most days. Everyone have a great day!!

 

Good morning Matt. Burr!!
