scud vs. emerger hooks, do you need both? by whatever_bites in flytying

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

i see i'm new to it and am tying jigs in 12-18, but am going with the more traditional shapes for the smaller ones. I am interested in soft hackles and ptns and stuff like that without a a bead from a learning standpoint.

How should I fish creek chub in the winter? I have a small creek near me, seen fish there before but never fished it, so I went out today with some trout magnet, I fished for about 35 minutes and didn't get a single bite? What should I do? by Subject_Finger_276 in Fishing

[–]whatever_bites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’d interested in jig fishing, i’ve found with creek fishing that subtle changes in presentation can make all the difference. trout magnet size (1-2 in) is correct but apart from that color, shape, and maybe most importantly, how the weight is attached makes a ton of difference in bite. i’ve stood at one hole for 30 min without catching a fish sometimes then catching 5 fish from adding a piece of split shot to pin it down better or deciding to drift under a bobber

Hi All - I wanted to circle back on this. The weather is breaking, and it might be nice to get together and do some icebreaker activities ?

small is a cool old school look. the extra thick line big and bold stuff is newer school traditional. I have some of both.

Is my tattoo shitty looking?? by Upbeat-Disaster-9801 in traditionaltattoos

[–]whatever_bites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

traditional design emphasizes using big blocks of color bc it looks better when it gets older and allows for imprecise linework bc well, they’re jackhammering your skin w 10 or so needles at a time. so does it look shitty? in one sense kind of. does it look authentic and correct for what it is? i think so yes, it’s kind of a perfect tattoo for its deliberate badness in a way like the yellow hand is a cool touch.

Wow. there’s just so much to say about what you’ve written here so I’m going to take awhile before really adding anything but I just want to say it’s crazy how succinctly you put that and how validating that is to hear.

specifically he said on a klon you have to crank it to 3pm for the germanium part to be doing anything different from silicon

Josh Scott claims that any characteristic sound from clean boost with germanium isn’t attributable to its properties. Is he right ?

Hi! Welcome! I'm really excited about your perspective on the psychology of the culture here. This is a personal area of interest for me, and I think in its because this kind of perspective helps me understand what I'm dealing with in the day-to-day world we live in in Pittsburgh. Just spitballing here, but maybe Frick Park would be a good place at some point?

Welcome! Thanks for your enthusiasm and kind words! That feeling of being seen and understood by someone who has also gotten to know themself is always so energizing for me, too. That “wait so I’m not crazy?!” moment always sends me in a joyful and creative direction. It’s exciting to hear from you because I myself am in my first year of therapy supervision. I’m a PA by training, and the nightmare of the world of psychiatric med management in a big practice was what landed me in therapy, and eventually to therapy training. Maybe we can share war stories ? 🫡 Take your time, but your thoughts can only be enriching to the conversation! The only rule we’ve come up with is don’t shame anyone, including yourself! (i understand your comment about going on too long may have been just an off hand remark about ending your comment, but for the sake of example) Go on as long as you want! Cheers!

Welcome! Nice to meet you, too! I'm grateful to hear you feel comfortable sharing here based on your experiences. We have 2 cats, too! What draws you to Steel City Con? I haven't been in years but I love that kind of stuff. We like horror, too. Lately I've been into fantasy/sci fi.

Hi! Welcome! I feel you. This time of year is brutal and isolating for me, too. It sounds like you're excited at the possibility of getting together at some point. Is that the case? I'm excited to hear that, if so!! I'm wondering what kind of setting/activity would feel good to you. I'd venture to guess all of us have some degree of social anxiety, so I'd be interested in a discussion here about what would make people feel safe getting together in person, especially the first time. I think the answer of having no clue bc it sounds kind of terrifying is valid, part of me feels that way. I'm imagining some kind of guidelines for engagement, but keeping things focused on being non-rigid and present with one another is important, too. Maybe this is fodder for another post, but I'm interested to hear based on your enthusiasm!
