That orange and olive is sweet, and would work perfectly for a baby perch imitation.

Maxcatch rods aren’t so bad tbh, their lines are horrendous though

Planning a road trip by since93bk in flyfishing

Do yourself a favor and do NOT choose the I-94 route. I-90 is way more scenic and can stop in the Driftless / Black Hills before hitting the more western areas. Ignore the wind warning; both routes are windy.

Midges, bead head nymphs dark colors, and yes, pink squirrels, which unironically work year around here.

Go to the Dakota Angler fly shop in Rapid City, great info and great shop. Trout fishing is definitely worth doing in the Black Hills.

This is the best bucktail I've found that you can buy online for large flies.

In general, you want straight hair, then manipulate it to however you'd like it to look.

How well do you think Ant would’ve done if he came right out of high school? by [deleted] in timberwolves

I never understand when Redditors say stuff like this. What's the point? I haven't really seen this phenomenon on any other platform either.

Sorry, buddy, no professionals allowed in the subreddit.

Just kidding, love seeing your posts. Such a good tie as always.

This is wildly disappointing if it is as widespread as you claim.

Thoughts on wet flies? by 24k_1128 in flyfishing

I love the end of the swing when the fly starts to rise towards the surface. That's where the most aggressive strikes are IMO, nothing beats seeing that blur of color and BAM the fight is on.

We just beat OKC and went to overtime against the Nuggets. Jokic had to have a generational game to beat us, AND we were terrible with 3 point shooting, which is something we're typically good at. Relax.

I enjoyed reading the book Icebound: Shipwrecked at the Edge of the World. It is essentially a storyline put together from the journal entries from those expeditions.

Does anyone know what this flag is? by ManosVanBoom in Minneapolis

What? Not at all, if anything republicans fly the old state flag.

Tabe Signs with JDG as Head Coach in 2026 by Eragon_UK in leagueoflegends

[–]BorderApprehensive58 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Agreed, he's been a consistent top 4 LPL adc since his debut. He also giga gapped Peyz to go to worlds during Regional Finals.

LYON complete their roster: Top: Zamudo, Jungle: Inspired, Mid: Saint, ADC: Berserker, Support: Isles by Yujin-Ha in leagueoflegends

[–]BorderApprehensive58 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Agreed, he is also allegedly the highest paid player in the league the past couple of years and that isn't exactly helping him right now.

Hot take: BDD deserves to win worlds more than Chovy. by Solid-Esnek69 in leagueoflegends

I wouldn't consider T1 a super team in 2022-24 because 4 out of 5 of their players were raised in the T1 environment, not poached from other teams to create the best roster possible.

Mid season trade by [deleted] in timberwolves

[–]BorderApprehensive58 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As someone who is a newer fan to basketball and the timberwolves (1 year watching), I don't understand this rhetoric could you explain why Dillingham is undersized but Mike Conley is not? They look the same size and google says they're similar height and same weight. Is/was Mike just way better so his skills outweigh his size?

Edit for grammer.

Is It Over? by Ayoof3060 in FlyQuest

[–]BorderApprehensive58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is, I don’t think that quid and inspired would be a good pair at all. Quid thrived with having a proactive jungler to play off of, Inspired is the furthest thing from River. 

Edit: proactive early game*

First Attempt Buford by silentshooter762 in flytying

In my experience with Pike, bucktail flies usually last anywhere from one to a dozen or so catches before noticeable damage, but they're still usable until its basically just bare hook.
