    In addition to my DK Squire I just added an HMH spinner tube vise and I am very please with the quality of the HMH.  So far it seems to be of the same quality as DK.

    Great report.

    It looks like we may be in for some similar weather this weekend.

    What about naming the dog after a state or provincial park?

    We named our last lab after a provincial park

    I haven’t seen it mentioned yet, but I have been very happy with the no frills Dyna-King Squire.  I’ve tied everything from #24 midges to 2/0 3/0 bass and pike flies.  I have yet to have a hook wiggle free.

    Good luck.  Buying new gear should be fun.

    My streamer box is usually half n’ half – Half spey flies and half buggers in three mixed colour combos

    Natural – fished in clear conditions – black, brown, olive combos- the tail and hackle are usually darker then the body

    Dark – fished when the water is high and stained- bigger sizes 4’s – dark purple , black , red

    Light – Fished when either of the two above don’t work – White and sometimes pale pink

    If buggers don’t work- it’s probably because I’m not getting the fly in front of the fish not the fly.

    Hi first post…

    Maybe the DNR are taking cues from other countries and/or regions

    New Zealand…

    “The Minister of Conservation agreed in principle last week with a Fish & Game New Zealand submission to ban the use of felt soled wading boots for freshwater fishing. The ban, yet to be approved and included in the proposed 2008/09 Anglers Notice for Fish and Game Regions, will be effective from 1 October 2008, and applies to freshwater sports fishing anglers in all New Zealand waterways, except those within the Taupo Fishery.
