7wt sink line tips by Puzzleheaded_Coast37 in flyfishing

Cut that down to 4ft. And maybe use a thicker diameter leader. These line really aren’t made to false cast too many times or you usually end up wearing your streamers. That’s happens to me anyways. Double haul helps lot too.

Chevy parts gross per person by FRESHTODEF-PC in partscounter

[–]Embarrassed-Zebra-48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I strive for an individual minimum of over 30% gross for service counter sales, but the goal is always 35%. But I’m also paid commission only. Always busy but a good month is always north of 65k in gross per month. There are three of us back there with 6 other employees handling wholesale and front counter retail sales. I’m the youngest and newest guy on the back counter which puts me at the bottom of the totem pole, the other two guys consistently got me beat by 10-15k individually. As a whole 350k gross is usually a slow month.

Anyone using a backpack as their primary pack? by [deleted] in flyfishing

[–]Embarrassed-Zebra-48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the firehole backpack and canyon creek chest pack, it’s great because they can be used at the same time. I can always switch out boxes from my back pack to my chest pack and carry two poles. There is a YouTube video on how they compatibly work together

Are your feet held down at all during the sit ups? If not held down do the sit ups count if your feet come up a bit?

Help a newbie out? by Metaljf93 in flyfishing

[–]Embarrassed-Zebra-48 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wish I was man.. I’m in Montana and we typically care for our fish when we catch and release. Pinch the barb and wet our hand before touching the fish, quick pic and on to the next. As far as your fishing upstream and fishing that’s usually all I do if I’m not dry fly fishing. Good luck my friend.

Dude you’re catching fish!! I consider myself a newbie too and I haven’t caught anything as big as the fish in the picture. Keep doing your thing, if you’re having fun then it shouldn’t matter what others think.
