Patrick Cassidy, Cape Cod On the Fly is a Cape guide. His focus, obviously, is fly fishing. I’ve been out with him several times and every time I have a blast. He is a great guy, and really finds the fish. His knowledge of history of the cape is always interesting and entertaining. He does 1/2 day and full day boat trips and 1/2 and full day wading trips. I know this is the general fishing thread but I’m just throwing it out there, if you’re a fly guy, then he is your guide. If you’re thinking about trying salt fly fishing, he’s a patient guy and you will have a killer day learning. Archie

Hey Title guy, that’s a sweet looking crab fly, is that a homemade design or does it have a name? I’m always looking to improve the flies I present, especially crab flies, haven’t found an effective one that I like tying. Thanks, Archie

Hi Steve, those are beautiful, what material are the collars made from? Archie

Blues and/or stripers? No clue, I think it was a case of too much of a good thing, acres of bunker, too much bait, I got skunked

I just had the same experience, was waist deep surrounded by peanut bunker, tried every fly I had and couldn’t get a take, decided to try a bunker imitation crease fly, after about 10 casts my leader was so twisted up I had to cut it off. I was using an 8wt rod, intermediate line and a 9 foot straight shot of 20# fluorocarbon. I don’t fish crease flies much so I don’t know if this is common with them, but I didn’t have any problems with the dozen or so flies I used that day. Archie

Thanks so much guys, I'm creating a mock up right now for the base stem clamp with a 3/8 ID, from what you all are saying it seems safe to assume it has a 3/8 OD stem.

Hey Suave, thanks for checking that out for me. Yeah, I did email Regal but they haven’t gotten back to me yet, and I’ve spent a while searching the web with no luck. I’m going to make the base and wait for a definitive answer or the the stem to arrive before I make the stem clamp.

Thanks KidDkivahh, I looked at the regal website, no info there and emailed them but they have yet to get back to me. It seems that 3/8 is standard for stems. Thanks for confirming 3/8 for me. Archie

Hi Everyone, I just ordered a Regal Big Game Vise and Pedestal Stem from Bear's Den. I'm a bit of a woodworker so while I'm waiting on the Vise to arrive I'm planning on making a base out of some live edge wood I have laying around. I need to manufacture a clamp to attach the stem to the base but I'm not sure what diameter the rod is for the post. Does anyone know the diameter of the the stem, or could any of the Regal owners out there measure theirs for me? Thanks, Archie

Received the spool yesterday, as described perfect condition and fast shipping. Thank you Riley1121 and SOL

I’ll take it, I will PM you with details. Thanks Riley and SOL

Great, lemme know how much. And payment details, PayPal?

Awesome! Thanks!

I’m still looking for a spool, lemme know what you got, Thanks
