Guys –
I never streamer fish in the fall; I know a lot of folks think you can cast streamers to “aggressive” spawning browns but that has just never proven to be the case for me.
Steve –
We didn’t get into the big browns at all man; floated Norfork and fished at Rim and up below the State Park.
Mike I always look forward to your posts from Yellowstone. I know you know how lucky you are to have that opportunity.
It was 75 on the White in Arkansas today.
North of Atlanta up I-75 in Cartersville there is an excellent new shop called Cohutta Fishing Company.

Have you ever tried to locate that product I described where the plastic is actually hot molded with exposed fiberglass cloth on one side?
Mike –
Does that one have the same design on the handle, where if you lock that central pillar screw and then try to rotate the vise, you can back the entire lever assemblage off? That was annoying. I do like the cam lever. The Dyna-King vise head has grooves cut in it for different size hooks, which do indeed seem to lock the hook in tighter, but loading it is not as easy as it was on the Renzetti, when it was just a matter of placing the hook wherever you wanted it and then turning the screw over and over.
Also, do you ever use the bobbin cradle? I took mine off both vises. It never worked for me in any rotary vise; inevitably the thread would unwind unless I half-hitched it and that seemed to add more time than it was ever worth.
As for the finish, my Renzetti looked like that when it was new, too, but over 10 years the finish oxidized to its present dull gray.
I love how an angler down there can catch a three or four pound brown on a dry and then shrug it off with “it wasn’t a big fish or anything…”
