Thumbs up:

Fishpond.   Product photography is good.  Site is very easy to navigate.  There are just a couple of clicks to get to the goods.  The look and feel is dead on as well.

I second Patagonia as being excellent, but I think the main page could be a little cleaner.  There is a lot of stuff there that doesn’t need to be.  

Thumbs Down:

Scientific Anglers.  Being integrated into 3m’s corporate site just makes it clunky.  It also makes URL’s ridiculous.  You pretty much can’t get there without Google.  I don’t like the sidebar.  There is just too many clicks to find the info you need.

From his website, it looks like he has done some fly fishing photography.

Throw out a call in the tying forum.  You might get some responses.  Even if you can’t use them all you’ll get some to fill the box.   🙂

GIMP will edit RAW files with plugins installed.  The downside is that support is spotty so check the plugins page for support.  One of the most popular seems to be UFRaw.

You might try GimpShop.  They try to duplicate the menu structure and look/feel of Photoshop.  Other than that it is still the Gimp.

EDIT– There is also Grokking the GIMP available online for free.

There’s a marina down here that has the CCTV feed from the camera on the ramp playing on all the tevelvion sets in the bar.  Solid entertainment.  

That is priceless.

Do you make people take off their boots before they get in? 🙂

I’m with Joel, I’d be too paranoid to use it.

Like Tom McGuane’s book – ‘An Outside Chance’ is why we play this game.

Unfortunately my border plate covers up the ‘Live Free or Die’!

Hey Tim,  I just got mine last fall.  I was surprised it wasn’t taken.  The best one I have seen up here has been MTANGLR.  That one is taken by a fly shop owner in the White Mountains.  

Welcome to the board.

My Wildthings coat has it,but I didn’t know it. I do like the coat as well as the other stuff of there’s that I have.

The Epic stuff that they use on their insulated jackets like the EP works really well too.

Ya Bob, that is how it works.

Looks like REI is using it in some jackets and pants.  Looks like pricing is on par with other breathable fabrics.

What are you using for the tails?
