If anyone has the most recent issue of Fly Fishing in Saltwaters, check out page 84. There’s a picture of a guy in a flats boat with a stripping mat of some kind that has small spikes in it to keep the fly line from blowing around in the wind (similar to what you find in stripping baskets). These would be perfect to use in the boats in Alaska.
Has anyone seen one of these for sale? It would probably be really easy to make one, but I’d like to see a more detailed picture to use as a guide.
Thanks
Ian,
Commercial version is at http://www.flytubez.com/.
They were at trade show last year, or year before.
Buzz,
Awesome, thanks so much. These look even better than I had thought them to be from the picture in FFSW. I’d like to use stripping buckets, but with two anglers and a guide in an 18′ boat, it’s really not feasible.
I think I can make one of these pretty easily, there’s no way I’m paying $70 – $120 for one.
A rubber door mat with a few plastic spikes ought to do the trick.
