    If I understand correctly, I think I would cut off the ripples so that you have a flat edge to deal with. If you have enough material I would do inside and out. I would be concerned that glue did not ooze out and cement the top of the bladder to the bottom on the inner patch.

    I am looking forward to the write up although I have no idea what the bladder material on mine is.

    I don’t know if it still exists but there used to be some club waters where you were required to use a dry fly and cast only to a rising fish. You weren’t allowed to practice C&R either.

    I noticed the difference as soon as I checked in. Seems to scream now.

    Zack, it is not a problem for me. I mentioned it only in case it was a symptom of something. It is all beyond me and I am glad I get to see it from this side.

    I have no trouble logging in but it seems slow to me. On an old laptop (XP) and a new desktop (Windows 8).

    I have the time to wait but it is noticeable.

    Years ago I was 20 minutes away from the Bow River and often went after dinner.

    Zack,

    From my experience, ten days might be a tad optimistic.

    Me too. It’s an ecologically sound resolution.

    I agree.

    An appropriate length & diameter of PVC pipe with an end cap?

    Upon further review, I wonder if static electricity would cause problems.

    Reaching back try

    “Run for the Trees” by James Rand.  Adventure in Africa

    And an essay that popped into my head,  “Beware the Man with 23 Guns” by Gene Hill.

    A collection of great reads, “The Old Man and the Boy” by Robert Ruark.

    Not outdoors in our sense but “HMS Ulysses” by Alistair Maclean.  Damn.  I read that in the 1960’s and still think of it often.  Murmansk run in WWII.

    6 Panel Camo

    I voted for the six panel camo but can easily go for any of them.

    I looked up “trucker style”.  

    I would definitely prefer standard.

    Where to send the money?

    In, please.

    I am not sure what the difference between solid and trucker but it sounds as if I would prefer the solid.  If you can’t do both, what ever the majority wants is fine.

    I wear a pair of Simms as well and sadly, I look like a sausage in them but that is not the fault of the waders.

    I have had them for a year and if something happens to them I will buy another pair.

    I was delighted to hear that the Canadians won a game.

    I agree and consider it worth the short drive up to Cartersville.
