I got these boxes ex Chine at about NZ $5 a box. Site to follow up is
alibaba.com. The same boxes are selling here at $99-00 - a rip off.
I have double sided ones with waterproof clear lids. Glue is not good so have redone them with superglue
After reading many diaparaging remarks by some on this technique, I find it a lot like the old nymph fisherman who did everything by feel. This tecnique is all about your ability to feel the movement of the flies and the take by the trout. I fished this just this last weekend with Lance Egan, world champion, and find it to very effective and enjoyable. Fishing is all about catching fish and I have ample opportunity living within three and a half hours of both the Green and South Fork of the Snake not to mention both the Provo and Weber rivers. I love dry fly fishing but in most cases the majority of the fish are feeding in the zone, on the bottom and either you fish there or you leave with a sore arm and no fish.
Thanks everyone, Barry & Mike and Scott, Your comments are always greatly appreciated.Kelly, Jim, and Armando you are very kind. This one kind of reflects back to my days of Salmon Fly tying.
A fly named after the only bourbon worth drinking... What is there not to love about this one!
Still have two MM's unopened and waiting for the 'just' right occasion. Keep missing the visit to the distillery ~ I have passed it several times, timing not there but I will succeed... :)
Joel, beautiful streamer.
I'll take a glass.
Thanks guys! I have about a dozen or so bottles unopened, but those are collectors editions, including the famous"Blue Label' bottle. Go cats!!!! Another NBa draft team in the making by the time March gets here!
Joel, I'm not sure whether to go fishing or sipping. Thanks for the inspiration
Thank you. I chose to tie this fly because of it's simpicity and I have always loved the colour combination.
This is a really awesome fly reel. I've never seen anything like it. It's in a class by itself
David,
Usually all parts of a rod are the same length, but of course there might be variations.
Missing a bit of the tip does sound like the rod has been broken. I personally have two rods that have tip sections, which are ½-1 inch shorter than the other sections, but I know why: I broke off the tips! I fell with one rod and the other one hit a lamp or pipe in a room where I was waving it around to "test" it.
All I did was move the top guide from the broken off part to the remaining part, and I must say that both rods are equally good and the difference - if any - is so subtle that I can't feel it.
I have no idea whether your rod has been broken or not, but that could be a possibility.
But if the rod feels good and casts and fishes as it should, I wouldn't worry about it.

Need Help:
Just bought a St Croix legend Ultra fly rod 9 ft 6 wt 4 pc.
Found the last 2 top sections have different length. The tip section is about 0.25 iches shorter.
Is it normal?
Thanks for your reply.
wow, that looks beautiful. the color is stunning.
Very good advice. Just to let you know GFF has been an inspiration to me over the years and and I look forward to each new article. All the best and please keep up the excellent work
Loved the article Bob...... I couldn't agree more with you about the link between people who like to fly tie and people who like to cook...... definitely a correlation. I'll be trying this one for our next large family dinner!
Bob!
Long time no read!!!!!
I'll try that recipe ASAP!
And above all,
greetings from Ljubljana!

I agree with you in some way, but it's a detail that appears in the video, STH is a national brand, ECHO is multinational, are choices of equipment, I suppose that these brands should have paid for this angler to put your logo in the video .. .. Are details of observation, I'm not a fan of logos and brands .....
… I have a small favor to ask.
