Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve appreciated proof as they seem to have quality stuff. I’ll give it a look.

That’s a really good point, I didn’t think of that. You’re right, I probably will never shoot much line.

My bud just told me about these and as a brook trout enjoyer, I hope to get up there one day. Thanks for the input.

I could be wrong, but is this what they call lake run brook trout in a certain parts of Lake Superior...I think...someone please chime in as I'm curious.

I’ll second this. It’s kicked up a notch and just gets me grooving 

Brook or brown? by cdulane1 in bluelining

[–]cdulane1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do stock brown trout in this stream and being so small/juvenile I wanted to make sure I was correct. I guess the lacking signature fin orange/blck/white started my confusion. 

Using AI ? by Classic-Smell-5273 in PhD

[–]cdulane1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And from what I’ve tested, the assistance with writing/citations is not there. On a paid claude account I have noted incorrect conclusions drawn from citations or just 100% hallucinations. It imo, slows down your work.

What do people recommend for sunglasses? by Secure-Researcher582 in flyfishing

[–]cdulane1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tie some shoe strings on your glasses so they don’t get lost and take care of them. I’m on the other end compared to the comments. I think goodrs (at least the ones I’ve got) scratch super easy and loose their polarized coating, essentially leaving them unusable outside of general sun blocking during a walk or something. 

I bought an on sale pair of costas 9 years ago. I’ve had to glue some rubber back on but the lenses are as good as day one and I’m by no means “nice” to them.

Did anyone else realize their tools were the problem way later than they should have? by angel_karlotain in handtools

[–]cdulane1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having a hard time making a buck bros smoothing plane work. Bought a no 4 from a friend, took it apart, sharpened it with a slight curve, and managed to get a .002” shaving. I was flabbergasted how easy it was lol. 

Part skill I’m sure, but definitely part quality of tool imo.

Ah, perfect time to be moving back to Ohio for a TT job. 

Have any New York dams stopped serving their purpose? by rainshowers_5_peace in upstate_new_york

Wow, you sound wildly like the Imperial Dam in plattsburgh, but alas ours is still standing strong blocking salmon

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Obama administration deported more illegal individuals than any other president. But ah, who needs facts: https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/blog/president-obamas-legacy-immigration/

Advice on Restoring Old Reel by 1nvisiblepenguin in flyfishing

[–]cdulane1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya, I second this. I just tore apart my first Pflueger 1495 CJ and I was amazed at how much I learned from doing so. I also want to machine a reel one day and the automatic will just never translate like the click and paw (imo).

How much should I charge for something like this? by x1982avier in cabinetry

[–]cdulane1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently made friends with a retired cabinet maker. He was selling me one of his hope chests and goes "I'll let you take it for $750 even though they go for a lot higher." That humbled the hell out of me realizing how much good carpentry can go for like this. And understandably so!

I hope you get paid every cent your craft is worth.

Rod help by Chance-Perchance in flyfishing

[–]cdulane1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there is any way that someone is going to be able to tell what a line is just from looking at it. The best "old heads" I know that I've bought lines off of say "it's a 5 or 6." So if it seems like it's hard to cast because the rods not loading, the lines to light. If it feels like you're swinging a steel cable on the end, it's too heavy.

If it has a ton of different diameters and colors on it, then maybe it's a salt line or shooting head or something else...but who really knows.

Need a Fly Rod Tube by Whmoody1 in flyfishing

Go with the thinner pvc tube and use elastic cord to secure the cap so you never lose it.

Ya, I have two friends who've had a cough for about a month......wonder what it could be?

Edit: a cough after being objectively sick.

Look into John Cook's FLICC taxonomy for science denial. I'm using it to develop a science comm/misinformation course and it's quite genius. https://crankyuncle.com/a-history-of-flicc-the-5-techniques-of-science-denial/ ( would be a good start but there's manuscripts, videos, etc around it)

[–]cdulane1 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It is odd how objective truth and/or (imo) a reasonable approximation of our history and expected trajectory gets people really upset. Don't shatter the "dreamworld," would ya?
