Bob RigginsMemberExcuse the dumb question from a salt guy, but the markings look substantially different on all three fish.
Bob RigginsMemberBurning the eyes in is something I would have never thought of.
Bob RigginsMemberI have been using GOOP adhesive to attach eyes, although I would also be interested in other suggestions.
Bob RigginsMemberThere are a number of chests that will Keep Ice Longer, but the Yeti is Wildly Stronger.
Bob RigginsMemberI Finally got out to cast the rod.
Bob RigginsMemberLooks great to me.
Bob RigginsMemberThat should keep you busy for awhile.
Bob RigginsMemberI can’t help you much with specific locations in the Keys.
Bob RigginsMemberSo, Zach, do you not sleep? Is that how you are able to maintain a law practice while tying flies, shooting photos, writing articles, making podcasts and taking cool trips? Or are they, as one of my Trout Unlimited friends used to say “another coffin nail in a once-thriving law practice”?
This has come up before and I will let you in on a little known secret…Zach is actually twin brothers. It is actually Zach and his brother Zach. It is not known whether one is a lawyer and the other a fly fisherman or if the are interchangeable. My understanding is they are so much alike that no one can tell them apart, except maybe Lauren….hopefully.
Bob RigginsMemberI have a Battenkill Large Arbor VI on my tarpon rod but, to be honest, it is not the best choice.

I think these are the biggest, after further review. Not sure if they are exclusively freshwater or not.
128 stones.
Bob RigginsMemberGreat article Zach. Some things, like flies, are probably best (economically) done overseas. Can you imagine an American tying 36,000 of the same fly every year without commiting suicide. I just hope those ladies are treated right.
Of course, the trick is knowing who has the “A” flies. I can’t tie little flies due to my big hands and residual neuropathy so I have been buying from either Orvis or Troutflies.com for $1.25 to $1.75 per fly. I wonder how much of that actually ends up in the tyers hands.
Bob RigginsMemberNice shots Mike, but what is shot 27?
Bob RigginsMemberWow, I went to Fly Stop and couldn’t believe the price of their flies.
Bob RigginsMemberI was wondering where you had been.
Bob RigginsMemberBeautiful work!
Bob RigginsMemberI have been wanting to go to Belize to tour and fish, however, I recently read on one of the fishing forums about how dangerous it was down there (once you are away from the fishing destinations).
Bob RigginsMemberSwweeet Cork!
The grip is a mix of cork, green burl, natural burl and rubber cork mix (butt and tip of foregrip).
Bob RigginsMemberI fish in the Tampa Bay area on the Gulf Coast of Florida.
Bob RigginsMemberJust got around to pulling out one of my shark tube flies. The wire leader is snelled to the hook to keep it from flopping around in the fly.
