Nice looking flies jdupre. Those look like they will slay the bass and bluegill. wish we could get together and tear up some fishy's. Have a great day! Chad

Anytime Mick, If I can help out in any way just say so. I'm always trying to recruit more fanatics to fly fishing and tying. It's a real kick in the pants when you get hold of a good size fish on a flyrod. It takes a little getting used to but I'm sure you would take to it well. Keep me...

I don't know if it was still cold Uncle Jack but there are two cans on the counter to my right or picture left. 8) Also you might notice the antique all chrome still has a cloth cord 4 slice will cook bread till it's on fire if you want 30 lb Toastmaster toaster on the counter opposite the...

jdupre', I don't tie anything smaller than 24 cuz it's two hard for me to see let alone tie on 7x tippet. I do have quite a few midge patterns that I trout fish with that are that small and catch fish on them quite often. It does seem odd that you can even hook a fish on a hook that small...

Heck yeah, I love tying almost as much as fishing. It is very rewarding to catch fish on your own flies. if you have any questions on tying etc or need any web-site recomendations let my know either here or back channels. I have been tying for about 6-7yrs now and find it not only relaxing but...

I like it alot! Necessity is the mother of invention. I like the foot brace. Is it held in by friction and forward pessure into the bow by vertue of the sides narrowing? And is that some rubber tubing straped to the ends to cause such friction and hold if you will? Way to go Jdupre. I fly...

Your welcome Naz! It's not the heat it's the humility! :lol: How right you are Uncle jack! I can't for the life of think of any new Cuss words to learn as I think I dun learnt em all! In fact I have been known to make a sailor blush a time or two. "Phone Home Jack - Phone home"

Sorry, Chuck I meant to do that before I posted. Thanks for cleaning up. The blue tape works well almost to well. I masked off to do the graphite bottom on top of not well cured epoxy and it stuck in a couple of spots. Nothing good old sandpaper can't fix. Uncle Jack can have strange...

Boy is Chuck right on that fillet and tape thing. I listened to the master and it came out great. A note on the finish. The better your fillet looks the less you are going to sand and in the compound corners were 2 sections meet try to be very smooth here if possible as it's very hard to...

Welcome Naz, Sounds like you dug in with both feet on the pirouge. If you have the means please post some pics so we can follow along with the build. Plus some of the geezers can't read the small print and rely on pics. :shock: Chad

Buster, That red looks great on the boat and the skipper looks happy to. Good looking out with the dog. Some people can be very mean. :evil: As for the next build you are knocking on the same door I was. I want to get something I can stand up and fish from that is able to hold 2-3 people...

The boat came out great Belly. The kids are going to have some fun times in that boat for sure. The inside looks great unpainted with the blue outer hull in contrast. Maybe paddle her for awhile and see how you like the wood look before painting? Just a suggestion cuz I like the wood look. I...

Hey Piper, I miss ya buddy. I need to get over here more often and get some legal harry-ass-ment from all you cool cats. 8)

Looking good buster, I like the decks and the fact your keeping her light. However, I see you plan on not glassing the hull inside and out just the seams. It's your call of course but the strength of a glassed boat goes up exponentially. I am amazed at how stong the a glassed section of ply is...

Hey funbun, Just luck and a little bit of knowledge about the water your fishin. With me it's mostly luck. If you can get onto some private ponds that's the ticket for sure. They get very little pressure and if the compound is managed correctly there are sure to be some biggin's to be had...

Holy sheet------srep! That is a hawg my friend! Good work on the boat too! I love the treatment on the bow and stearn. Very nice touch. Do you paddle from that position in the boat? It looks aft abit, butt I also put my seat aft of the center rib. Way to go taking the daughter out also they...

Bellybuster, great work man. The use of available materials is not CHEAP I would say frugal. I really like the seat made of flooring oak. I made two versions of the seat and have settled on the original with a thin hunting pad that has an air valve you can adjust to just a little cushion without...

Hey there Guy's, I have been knee deep in a large tile job ( 320 sq. ft.) and so many other chores I can't mention. This is the first time in my life I wish I was three feet tall? :lol: (oh my aching back) I wish I was out in the boat instead. Soon enough though. I miss all of you miscrients...

Here is another way to skin that cat. A simple anchor trolley.

As usual Mick, She is looking good ! That glass layed up nicely in the right hands of course. I bet Robin is gonna love this boat also! G'Day mate! Chad
