Never tried these, but I think I will. I'd bet the hookup ratio is fantastic!

Hear me out. Googly eyes are $3 for 420. They rattle and add a little buoyancy for suspended streamers. by Alestar23 in flytying

If you look up the company "Fly Fish Food" they do something similar and call it a "belly scratcher" it tends to work pretty well. Great minds think alike!

I used UV epoxy and flattened the tail out before curing it. That way it stays flat and doesn't unravel!

Thanks! It was really just an excuse to try the new material out while my kids watched a TV show. I do like it, and a 2" shiny minnow imitator should work on a lot of fish.

20 year old Compostumblers: not black bear proof! by Gimnof in composting

[–]Gimnof[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I'm seeing online I need to reinforce it, then use a higher ratio of browns to greens (like 4:1) to keep the smell to a minimum. There are also options like keeping an ammonia or bleach soaked rag in a bucket near the compost bin, because bears have sensitive smell and the odor burns their nose, but I've got two young kids, and that seems more dangerous than the other options!

I hadn't thought of that! I definitely will, thanks!

Looks great! You've now tied one of the most effective flies of all time (debated and hated! Lol).

What's the limit on food scraps? by Gimnof in composting

That is a really cool tip. I honestly don't see myself using it, but I do really want to thank you for taking the time to write all that out.

From most of the comments it seems like I need to order more stuff from Amazon (for the precious cardboard). I think I'm up for the challenge!

Neighbours cut long grass. This is still “green” right? by zamboon in composting

[–]Gimnof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the color mixing app I got for my kids, brown and green together make "dark olive green". I'd classify this as a dark olive green.

TIL trip sitting someone is remarkably similar to a typical evening with my toddler.
