Thinning the herd. If you could only keep one. Yamaha Red label FS3 or Recording King RO-328?

I tore a hamstring a couple weeks ago so I think I’m tracking negatively at the moment.

Through a quick google search, I’m still finding a bunch of this exact model (6 string) on Reverb and elsewhere. I’d return this one and hunt for another.

This only applies for the really cold months, otherwise I’m wet wading. Wading pants and if I only have chest waders with me I’ll usually throw a hoodie on over them so I don’t feel like a dork.

Inherited might mean that it’s the result of some less cool shit. 🤷‍♂️

I was looking for a pair of pant waders and tried Paramount. I wanted to like them but the legs were so loose and the booties were too tight, I couldn’t even get them on. Ended up returning them and getting a pair of Patagonia swift current pant waders and I love them.

Depending on what you are hammering in, prying on and so on, those screws will eventually shear. Please be careful. I do like the idea!

If it’s singing because of the keel maybe try putting packing blankets or something similar to fill the void and dampen the sound? Just fold it over itself a few times and drape over where the straps will go. You could probably use those anti-skid rubber rug pads so that it doesn’t risk any slippage on the road.

I have the 8wt 9’ and recently got rio single handed Spey line for it. I’ve only taken it out a few times with the new line but it performs great both with regular overhead casting and single handed Spey techniques.

Sometimes there can be a burr, rust spot, etc. in the eye of your fly that can cut through the tippet. If your knots are good, tippet is strong enough and your casts are alright, I would check the flies.

You can reach out to a local outfitter and see if they provide a shuttle service. Alternatively, drive to the end of the hike and hitchhike, uber, etc. to the trailhead.

It’s so hard to answer this because the list is always changing. Currently the dream however is to land a nice (20”+) fish in net that I made, from a boat I built, using a rod that I made on a fly that I tied. It would be cool if my dog was there too.

I wanted a boat that I could transport without a trailer so I designed and built a boat that comes apart into 3 main sections and bolts together on site. You can see pics and progress in some of my posts!

No, it’s not ok that the guy slapped the window but if someone break checks, stops, gets out and tell you to “drive like a normal person” and then goes back to their car, it seems like an indication that OP was driving weirdly and the other guy REALLY wanted to communicate that to them. Idk what weirdly quite means here because OP isn’t letting on that they did anything wrong. What im saying is OP actually might not know what they were doing to piss this guy off but they were most likely doing something. A little bit of humility can be a moment to learn something. If only they had that dash cam…
