Met Bob many times and he is always a gentleman and has a smile for all. This is what I think Mill House is about......I'm wrong.

Fished RB on a great afternoon dropping tide. Figured the warm water may stir an appetite but no. Did see a osprey flying over head, positive sign. I'm sure the cold weather coming in next week will suck, but that's early spring fishing.

I check NFC off and on, two fiberglass rod blanks $75.00 each. Fun to fish with, reminds me when I was young fiberglass was king.

@Suave was good enough to get some Game Changers sent to me to use this season. They are beyond my expectations, super cool patterns and colors.....thank you so much for your generosity and skills at the vise. Can't wait to fish them this spring. This is what fly fishermen do....share, inform and lift up others.

I have strioers and bluefish take me into my backing many times. Maybe 60 feet the most. I had big albies put a serious pull on my backing maybe 120ft. My reels generally hold 200yrds which is way more than I need. A larger reel may offer quicker line pick-up though a majority of fish I've caught are just stripped in by hand. I'm with the fellas here you're good. More experience and you'll become in tune with your particular needs. Good luck.

I think there is a fly fisherman here from N S. I think he is @Dagger

I spent lot of time with Joe snd Lorraine out East. We discussed his pattern and fishing it but most of the time we just hung out and enjoyed sausage, peppers and onions sandwiches and seeing the besuty of the North Shore. I'll definitely checkout the YouTube presentation, thanks @JohnDe for the heads up.

Super simple little impressionistic squid about 3 and 3 1/2 inches. Bucktail and saddles first, palmer body of some white/silver stuff from Michael's it's like long fiber chenille. Finished with trimmed white deer hair and googly eyes all on a 1/0 O'Shaughnessy hook.

Had the "fur box" still out from the white bunny strip. I found a chartreuse saltwater bunny strip and did a repeat.

Time for a retro fly, The Ole Bunny Strip. Hollows, BTD, Game Changer, Beasts all the evolution to great flys. This will swim with the best of them. Medium lead eyes, white saltwater bunny strip, white arctic fur tapered, a wisp or red bunny fur and white/pearl Senyo Lazer Dub.
