I’ll give another nod to Dave Ames’ and his books.
I’m about 1/4 way through his most recent release, “Dances with Sharks”. So far it is excellent.
Dave’s first two books (“True love and the woolly bugger” and “A good life wasted”) were also very great works if you like fly fishing. If your a guide, have ever guided, would ever like to try guiding……his books will hit many familiar notes.
His tales from the rivers, bays, and inlets will tickle your funny bone and then tug on your heart strings. Great reads.
That’s a great job, Matt. Nice effect. It’s fun to create isn’t it?
I think John P. had a note earlier in a recent post that talked about copyright issues with the music. You need to use canned buy out music, so you stay away from the infringement issue, or go to the trouble of getting the use permissions which is both a pain in the butt and expensive. There are several good sources out there now for “royalty-free” music. I buy just the piece I want rather than the cds. More expensive that way but you build a unique collection of reusable stuff.
I use Pro Show Gold, but it is a windows only platform. Very nice transitions and easy to use, but I’m not sure the outputs work across all platforms and hardware. Still, it work fine for my presentations on my laptop and desktop.

The problem for point and shoot is that I have to physically hold the camera and take pictures. What I want to do is have a wireless remote set up so I can leave the camera submerged… I would be on the bank snapping shots away, allowing the fish to swim freely and undisturbed.

Daniel. I can tell you how I decide.
When embedded dirt affects its performance. Sooner than you think. On mastery series lines, I can usually tell visually and by the sound it makes going though the guides. My heaviest used lines, I replace every 6 months. Depends on the water you fish, the type of line it is, how its cared for, quality of the line, etc., etc.
Lines are consumables. Treat ’em as such.
I am sure you will get other comments.
Great job as usual Zach, but with two of my favorite fly fishing personalities. The Becks are simply fine people.
Looking forward to a great 3rd season! Thanks, man.
Hyde has a “skiff” that looks similar. It could be considered a “pram” although most true prams are only about 8-10 feet long. Skiff and pram are rather loose terms. The skiff is of European origin and can refer also to a small sailing dingy.
Brandon, the two Winchester Press books I currently have are Marinaro’s Dry Fly Code and Leiser’ Fly-Tying Materials. Both say “Produced by Nick Lyons Books” and “Published and distributed by Winchester Press, New Century Publishers, Inc.”
Chomp-Chomp 🙂

Good morning Zach. Duane Hada at Rivertown Gallery in Cotter is doing some metal art. He did all the trout silhouettes that Cotter has hanging on its lightpoles downtown.
Brett: The Guide Jacket was a piece I wouldn’t leave home without as well, but mine was an Ebay purchase for about $150 off when they did the redesign a few years back.
This seems to be a reoccurring trend in my purchases lately. I want to give more love to the local fly shop, but in order to be able to afford the gear that I want, I often have to search for discounts online. I hear lots of talk of small fly shops going under due to their inability to compete with the larger internet retailers and I have to wonder if the manufacturers aren’t playing a role in running these guys out of business? Then again, most people go for the better deal whether it’s on a $500 fly rod or a pack of gum.
As for the TFO’s, give them a serious look if you don’t have issues with the overseas manufacturing. I own several Sages, Winstons and TFO’s and the TFO’s have become my go to stick in numerous situations. While they aren’t a Winston or Sage, you can buy two TiCrX rods for the price of one BIIX or Z-Axis and the odds of you being disappointed with the fishability of the rod are very slim. You may be disappointed if you’re a stickler for jewlery quality components and flawless cork, but otherwise you won’t be disappointed in the rods they offer. Plus it doesn’t hurt to have a little extra gas money in your pocket when the time comes to take a road trip!
Great points guys.
While we’re on the subject, what relatively new type of gear or technology would you
i just checked the Fishermans web site and found they make prescription, polarized glasses for about $150 depending on the frame and I guess the prescription strength.
