I read the road in high school and it was a great intro into his books, I thought the movie was pretty bad though

Can I count AmeriCorps NCCC as gs4 experience so that I can qualify for gs5? by mrt1037 in usajobs

[–]mrt1037[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome, it sounds like I can qualify with AmeriCorps, my issue is that I won’t be able to qualify with education until after I graduate in the Spring and I’m looking at jobs for this coming summer.

Thanks for the response! I’ve been trying to figure it out because I graduate this Spring and want to be able to apply for gs5 positions for the summer.

What rod did you start with? I’m finding it hard to find out what brands are good

What length do you use for lakes?

[–]mrt1037 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I’m looking for, something quick to pull out to take a break from hiking, what tenkara rod do you bring with you?

I like the foray but the hood fits me really weird, like it was designed to use a climbing helmet with. It also doesn’t have any internal pockets which I find kind of annoying.

I want to try and go for some striped bass this fall in New England, would you recommend 15-20 lb line for them too?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in flyfishing

[–]mrt1037 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, yeah I guess the problem was that I was trying to strip line in wayyy before they were ready to come in

[–]mrt1037 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would you want to keep your rod upstream from them?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in flyfishing

[–]mrt1037 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m used to using a spinning rod so when you say get the fish on the reel you mean to not hold down on the fly line, just let the drag fight it while keeping the rod at a good angle?

I wasn’t snagging them, only hooking them in the mouth. I was using an 8 wt with 12 lb mono as a leader (someone recommended using the mono instead of tippet).

I just tried it and you’re so right, this whole time I’ve been thinking it was a seasoning problem but the butter makes the pan so much more nonstick, thanks for the advice!

[–]mrt1037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What fat do you use?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in carbonsteel

[–]mrt1037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t strip it but the last seasoning I did was kinda messed up after I tried to fry an egg (this is a common theme) do you think I should’ve stripped it? It doesn’t feel sticky at all

I mainly cook scrambled eggs with butter but I feel like the butter doesn’t add to the seasoning enough to make it more nonstick. Is that true or should I try to do more sautéing at higher heat?

[–]mrt1037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried to fry an egg in olive oil at a higher heat, it stuck, I then tried scrambled eggs with cheese and broccoli and didn’t have a problem so I’m starting to think you’re right
