October 1 is opener here they changed up the laws again this year it's does only till the 15th which doesn't really bother me none. More doe tags also this year for my WMU already get 4 doe 1 either sex and 1 buck tag but more doe tags are supposed to be issued this year. I usually get excited and amped up for hunting season but not so much this year I backed out of a 900acre spot I've hunted for nearly 20 years. I'm just going to hunt my 3 acres behind my house I got 3 big does and 4 fawns that visit regularly. I'm a big coyote and fox hunter that's got me a little pumped but not as much as years past. Since I've learned to fly fish this year it's all I can think about is kings and Browns on the end of my line and they start running bout the same time as bow season kicks off which is also the start of coyote October 1 and fox is October 25.

I got bit by a recluse while at basic in ft benning little bugger but me in the arm pit of all places. Lanced open and packed it with gauze. Got me out of PT for 1.5 weeks though which was kinda worse then the bite.

Oak orchard river in about two weeks will take care of the kings if you don't mind battling with shoulder to shoulder fishing with people from all over the country.

My buddy and I were talking Monday while sitting down at the creek taking a break from slinging flys discussing dream fish or a bucket list of what to catch on the fly. We both agreed bull redfish and dorado(dolphin) were pretty high now we have been bouncing fish off each other threw text messages well bored. So far I got Golden dorado Peacock Bull red Dolphin(dorado) Tarpon Musky We live next to one of the best trout fisheries in the country so we have already knocked steel head, Browns, salmon off that list well he has I will in the next few weeks.

This I tried a handful of ways and found this to work the best for me if I'm adding them to the end of the wrap. If it's one that's in the middle or what not then I just lay the thread in wrap over it locking it then wrap it around desired times then tuck it under and wrap it with the running thread locking it. Just be careful if you use a thread that ends up transparent like I did on my fly build you can see the tags but it adds character so I didn't mind.

I only use the one side I don't put two spools on it. I vary the tension depending on what I'm doing. I move the slider to be just a hair to the front to start .

I have the same one just tighten then nuts really good I had the same issue I just tighted them two nuts right on the plastic and it fixed it.

I've still been getting some the fall feed bag seems to be on as well. These all came on the 7wt rod geeks rod I built paired with a Allen alpha III reel. Absolutely love the combo.

Anyone here have experience wth them? They look a lot like go pro but are 1/4 the price. I have a buddy who runs them on his kayak,bow, bird gun he swears by them. He's also sponsored by them I believe or the shop he's sponsored by sells them. Just seeing if anyone else has experience with them thinking bout picking one or two up.

NY just changed its regulations doesn't phase me much I don't shoot bucks anyways haha. Out opener is October 1 but first two weeks is doe only. My buddy is flipping out about it me it don't phase me all I have is does on my trail cam. In my 16 years of hunting I've only ever shot one worthy buck that wasn't a spike or half rack. Love does

I used flex coat lite build on my fly rod build on a rodgeeks pearl white blank came out crystal clear. Prokote has been clear for my also but I'm finding cracks in it now after about 9 months of use in some areas.

Another like can, look like a Winn grip

Ill probably do both now that I work nights and get out at 6am not having to be back till 730pm Monday-Thursday. Now that I got bit with the fly fishing bug I'll fish more in the fall in the past come October 1 I usually stopped fishing and had the bow in hand.

It took me months of failed attempts gotta be part ninja I swear especially in the shallow clear creeks I fish. My buddy goes out and hammers them almost every cast he makes towards one. He told me, gotta be a ninja, get in front of them and wiggle the fly they have terrible eye sight, hold on. I started getting better luck when I moved to bright flashy flys. The one this guy took and several others since then have been a white wooly bugger with a gold head and chrome tinsle like wrap around the body. They can't resist it.

Bout the same as now I've always listend to rock though there was a time from like 15-19 I was big into street racing and car shows and what not I seemed to play a lot of techno crap as loud as I could so you heard and felt the bass thumping long before you seen me. Then I ditched the systems for weight reduction and you heard my exhaust long before you seen me lol.

Jags haven't heard that second one. I told my gf the first one when we started seeing each other and she said she didn't like facial hair.

I trimmed my neck up a little it's only been 3 weeks so the mustache wasn't bad yet I can pull it a little it's coming in nicely. The GF and the ex wife have both ganged up saying they are going to come in and take the clippers to it in my sleep. Pretty sure they arnt supposed to gang up on me like that. I told my gf it's staying in trimmed for a minimum of 6 months then MAYBE I'll take the clippers to it with like a big guard on it but never a baby face ever ever again.

Yeah looked ya up quick

I know of two others on here who are and have building specific FB pages. I don't have one yet for my rods I just put pics up on my personal page it's almost all fishing stuff honestly or military with a few pics of my kids once in a while. Pretty sure there is a link under my avatar if you would like or search Clayton George can't miss my ugly mug holding a fat small mouth in my profile pic.

So you do fish look at that lol.

This was one long build but here it is all finished just gotta put line on the reel.

Give it a shot nothing to loose

This is my gf not my ex wife were talking about
