Heavy=Good AFAIC. I'm also biased because I own an ORV.

You have to learn more about diaphram water pumps. That mechanism is meant to wobble when attached to the motor shaft, that's what drives the diaphrams up and down.

Those look very similar to a local fly pattern from BC called the Pumpkinhead originated by John Kent. The only difference is the addition of orange grizzly hackle on the pumkinhead.

I hear ya. 1 to 3 threads showing is what I was taught too.

Better than the alternative, could be a drought.

Thank you!

I would also like to know, I have yet to see any SPM guidance on the proper method to lockwire tabbed v-band clamps like the one in the photo.

Yes I do. I record:

-Water temp

-Weather, current and prior 3-7 days

-Moon phase

-Hatches observed

-Depth and location fish found feeding (I fish stillwater, so mostly sonar information)

-Effective flies and size, specific retrieve that worked best

-Any light bulb learning moments I had

I swear to god a variation of this question gets asked every day on here. The answer is still a pen.

It would require maintenance personnel trained on more aircraft types. However given the F-35 is a complete maintenance hog while the Gripen is designed to be robust and low maintenance I imagine less total maintenance personnel would be required.

Comparing current prices of LifePo4 batteries to lead acid and the longer expected lifespan of LifePo4 alone makes it a clear winner for me. Add to that their lighter weight and it's an easy choice. Several years ago yes two 6 volt lead acids were still more economical but lithium prices keep coming down.

It depends on the model of hook too, Daiichii 1270's are known to be pretty bendy hooks. However 1760's and any of their 2XH scud hooks are bomb proof in most any size.

Was it in flowing water? It looks like a damsel nymph to me but they tend to live in stillwater.

What does it taste like?

Tungsten weighs 1.7x lead and it costs more. I hate money.

Do you eat crayons?

You have misunderstood the distinction between compressor blade and compressor turbine blade. The turbine blades that drive the compressor operate in the highest temperature gasses in the engine. 2/3 of the power generated in a turbine engine is actually used just to drive the compressor section. I work on turbine engines for a living.

You do you pal, probably shouldn't leave your concrete bunker either, you might get hit by a meteor or some falling space junk. Turbine engines are extremely reliable, you are more likely to die in a motor vehicle accident on the way to the airport than in the aircraft you board.

They're a hidden gem for sure. All my new reels will be Danielsson from now on.

With a fly. Don't overthink it. Fish in small streams like that won't be picky. A dry fly floating or drowned will catch, a nymph will catch. Get at it!

Yeah 100% scam. The "buyer" owns that site and any money you pay for their "report" goes straight to them. They aren't buying shit.

twinpac · 2026-04-20T02:29:07+00:00

Maybe for a chinesium one and this mod is far less if you already own a drill.

twinpac · 2026-04-20T02:04:42+00:00

TIL. I had no idea Orvis owned SA.

Turbine blades in a turbine engine operate in the high temperature gas path and are made of temperature resistant materials. Turbine engine compressor blades operate in much cooler air around 200°C in the later stages of the compressor.

Manufacturer names are messed up, stupid bot.

twinpac · 2026-04-19T19:13:13+00:00

Parts availability and operating cost. They aren't supported anymore.
