Reply to: DIY wooden landing net
What an inspiring build story! I have been thwarted by the "equipment wall" many times and it's refreshing to see other ways to achieve beautiful results!
One thing that really struck me about this net was its elegant proportions...is the hoop a single strip from a 3/4" thick trim piece? How thin, in the other dimension, does it need to be in order to bend w/ stovetop steam?
thanks and, again, great build!

Reply to: What is a switch rod?
The new Sage X Switch line 6110-4, 7110-4, 8110-4 has revolutionized switch rod design. My pick for Salmon is the 8110-4. My standard King Salmon fly rod (fish between 20-35 lbs) is Sage X 896-4. The power of the X line, like Igniter allows you to fish way lighter rod weights and handle way bigger fish.

Translation: beautiful drawings done well, they recall the drawings that the big names in fly fishing made, not being able to count on mobile phones, photos in general. so they relied on the pencil, charcoal to reproduce the flies, a nice return to the past, it should be rewarded and valued plus it is Italian and this is a plus point
original: disegni bellissimi fatti bene ,ricordano i disegni che facevano i big della pesca mosca non potendo contare su telefonini,foto in generale. quindi si affidavano alla matita,carboncino per riprodurre le mosche ,un bel ritorno al passato,andrebbe premiato e valorizzato in più è italiano e questo è un punto in più

Reply to: That book thing, again...
Bart,
Thanks for the recommendation - and sorry for the late reply. Sound like an interesting book, and I'll see if I can track it down somewhere. That might not be easy. It's listed on Amazon - in Japan! And a search on the title leads to your comment here ...

Thank you all for your kind words. It was a labor of love and hopefully, will plant the seed in young Ian for a lifetime of fly fishing.
