Shane I'm sure glad that at this stage in my fly fishing I've only learned to covet graphite rods not bamboo!

Well last night I bought exactly what I dont need, another rod! I went to the OC Fly Fishing Club Auction with thoughts of spending $20 or so for another Rite Bobbin. Didn't see much else that I really wanted until I wandered over to the used rods. I found this: http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww...

The annual Orange County Fly Club Auction is coming up! Wednesday September 12 at the Phoenix Club (off of Ball Road near the back entrance to Honda Center). It starts at 6:00 in the evening. Cost to attend, including buffet dinner is $25. Its a fun event with lots of good stuff in the auction. Here...

My first pair of wading boots was a pair of Korkers Konvertibles. Still have them, but using them for wet wading only (the booties on my Simms waders won't fit in them); working on my second set of felt soles. Some people have had issues with the soles coming off while fishing but I've never had a p...

I saw it when it played in Costa Mesa in May. Very interesting. It's not a movie per se but instead photos assembled into a story with narration. Very interesting esp for those of us with a Japanese heritage.

Last trip in the locals Jim bent down to fill his filter bottle. His mustache stayed immersed for a minute while he let it leisurely fill. I looked and there was a 16 inch brown hiding in the new structure. I cast my ehc and let it drift toward Jim. Got a ferocious take but then he took me deep into...

You don't realize I'm always waiting (discretely) for you to catch up.

Thanks all for your help. I think I'm going to be penurious (cheap) and buy the Dr. Slick locally. I called Marriott's and they have several in stock. The other alternatives all look good but my cheapness is showing! Need it to get ready for a road trip with the wife and daughter. Hoping to get a fe...

Thinking about switching to a lanyard for local fishing or short trips (like getting away for a few hours on vacation when the wife is still sleeping). Does anyone have recommendations on specific brands or what to look for? Thanks.

Hey I was hoping for a girl in a bikini (or less!!)! Instead all we get is Andrew dressed for fly fishing?

The photography is spectacular! Being online only gives them the ability to print every page in high def color. Subscriptions are free. I hope they do well.

Btw, if you have a new iPad the photos are beyond spectacular.

Where is Tom Sakai? He already drives an X5 down there... this is the next logical step up. Unfortunately Tom just upgraded to a Cayenne Turbo S otherwise I'm sure he'd pick this offroading beast up. :lol: NOT. Still driving the OLD X5. But only to certain places. After my first time down into a lo...

Hey, I was hoping that Mark Allen would buy one of those! He was looking for a new ride!

A great time was had by all! Here are a few pics; sorry I didn't get a pic of Bob's outrageously good salmon, Mark's pulled pork, or Jim's homemade rolls. http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww338/tomsakai/Fly%20Addicts%20April%202012/DSC_2849.jpg http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww338/tomsakai/Fly...

I'll be bringing an Italian olive salad. Made by my Korean wife; go figure.
