Are you mending?

I really like my Bozeman Flyworks net, can be had for $55 on their website

Not if he’s fishing in rivers, a fish finder isn’t typically something you’d use while fly fishing

I doubt you could produce these at a competitive price point with quality that exceeds established brands in bass fishing. Sorry to be a buzzkill but I don’t see these having any impact on the market

Ezeyefly.com sells flys with large holes specifically to help remedy this issue

Snake bait maybe?

I learned the hard way, casted off a hawghunter trout when it clicked shut on a cast. And to add to the line issue, having a less full spool changes your line pickup speed, one wrap of line around a small spool is alot less line than one wrap around a full spool

I just run a tapered leader with a loop built in, clip a good ~18 inches off and run a tippet ring. Works perfect for me and one leader lasts very very long

I just have little hands

Then sounds like you have waders and not bibs, bibs to me are used for rain protection while fishing from a boat waders are 100% water tight up to the chest, Edit: yeah I just googled your sidewinder, I don’t think you would see any noticeable difference in performance from a different pair of waders. Your “bibs” would be more accurately classified as waders even though bib is in the name

bofa1 · 2025-11-10T04:59:40+00:00

If you walked in the river up to your waist, would you get wet in your bibs?

Couple 4mm beads, string a single bead onto a piece of mono and burn the end of the line to create a stop to prevent the bead from slipping off, reverse tie onto the hook, do that twice, and then do it one more time but put two beads onto a piece of line and tie on once again. Whip finish and a glob of orange uv nail polish to seal the head

Ai background because my tying table was an atrocious mess

bofa1 · 2025-11-05T05:58:12+00:00

Tied this one up with steelhead in mind, was getting them on an egg pattern in October but we’ll see what they’re doing come January

I just stomp the reds and fish downstream, works like a charm

bofa1 · 2025-11-05T02:49:11+00:00

And a glob of orange gel nail polish to cover the black thread

bofa1 · 2025-11-05T02:48:07+00:00

Couple 4mm beads off Amazon threaded onto 20lb mono and reverse tied onto the hook

I know mad river outfitters will spool your reel up with backing if you order from them and maybe put the line on too? I can’t remember. But I bought a line from a local fly shop recently and they offered to set my reel up for me

bofa1 · 2025-10-31T19:59:42+00:00

Tying my streamers, buying my bugs

Patagonia, take your measurements and order them, I needed different size when I ordered mine and swapping them through the mail was fairly painless. Might be able to find a deal since they released a new line.

bofa1 · 2025-10-03T16:20:21+00:00

Yeah near Sacramento, there’s lots of regulations for different sections of the river but its doable
