    Trolling Reels - Anything New?

    Shimano 1000's. Small and bullet proof if you rinse after use and back the drag off. New stuff looks great but I'm a run it until it breaks guy. Useage has been 100+hrs per year for approx. 30 years. Slower retrieve rate is a drawback for some, i guess.

    Shore Fishing for Coho Done Right

    SUV Tires

    Toyo M55's. Past the all-season you mentioned e-man, but blast rock won't make you pucker up anymore. I have had two flats in five miles on fresh road with all seasons. Depends on your usage, for sure. How about them Hawks?

    What is it?

    Friend gave me two of these in a Christmas basket. At 44g. and 6"s it's a bit much for a cod fly. Stamped Japan. Bucktail? The brown is stiff plastic. Circa 1960's? Any thoughts, gentlemen?

    Tips for building a new house

    We were the general for our builds, cabin, shop, wellhouse and house. Marvelous experience and can say it strengthened my marriage. Both of us were familiar with getting dirty. The good wif sweated all the design details. I did all the electrical and we were the framing crew. We lucked out and...

    Boredom Relief

    Duck hunting and building a flat stack rock wall for our outdoor shower. Prawning before Christmas, for sure. Living in the sticks makes dealing with Covid much easier, no question.

    Entry/Middle of the Road Fly Rod Setup

    x2 on TFO rods. There warranty service is second to none with a centre in Alberta. Broke the tip on a BVK and said it was my fault. Paid shipping one way and voila in a week I had a new tip section.

    Lord Stanley's tournament

    Soo..., tonight which Canucks squad plays? Vegas owned them game 1. If the team that closed out the Blues shows up, it is going to be a great game.

    Lord Stanley's tournament

    Well, the inevitable happened last night. Crawford stole a game and the Blues woke up to play a game. Watching the Hawks is like watching your dog go downhill. You know it is over. Canucks, on the other hand, could pull it off.

    Lord Stanley's tournament

    I like the Canucks chances more than the Hawks. Vegas ain't Edmonton.

    Lord Stanley's tournament

    Hawks got by the Oilers, courtesy of Crawford's 41 saves. Tuned in for the OT, all 11 seconds of it. :D Great to see Tanev score.

    Lord Stanley's tournament

    Hawks got stomped last night. Jets won and the Canes went up 2-0 on the Rangers. Pulling for the Canucks tonight.

    Lord Stanley's tournament

    The lack of response by anyone on the ice was shocking. I thought they were destined to lose. If any one had shown up for Sedin, it might have turned the series. Coach may have issued a stay out of the box edict, but on that occasion it needed to be ignored.
