JP I think they use BORAX to preserve them but you have to get all the meat off you can.

Ya know Dick as long as you're having fun tying it doesn't matter how many you get tied up. Can't wait to see the fruits of your labor!

Rick you gotta do what you gotta do and it sounds at any rate a win win situation. Good luck

Thanks Dick - this Yak is rated for 500 lbs even though it is only 10ft. Yep did not want to put a hitch on the wifes car... well that is not totally true. But decided that foam blocks and a kayak was a better choice to keep peace and be able to use my wifes car.

Glad your OK but sorry to hear your van and the semi. As far as the trolling motor I'm a true believer in more power I don't think we can ever have enough..

Dick - glad to here you have a black hole also . I'm finally setteling in , but we still have about 30 inches of ice on the lakes up here. I decided that after my problems with my van hitting a semi..and afford a cash vehical to pull the boat yet. I used the funds to purchase a kayak. However at my age I have decide to have backup power with a MinnKota  C2 30lb thurst trolling motor on it.

Yea Jen I think I may have went a little overboard but I guess if I need it I should have it, but then again maybe not. I tied about 8 hours yesterday and found out I'm not improving much in the speed department I really didn't get a whole lot tied I think its the eyes and my large fingers that continuously get in the way all the time but still plugging at it.

OMG Dick Tabbert! I just saw your fly tying area!!! WELCOME TO THE BLACK HOLE!!!!!!!!

You got more STUFF than I do or ever seen! WOW

Comment by dick tabbert on April 4, 2013 at 4:10pm

Yea Allen I've been tying away. Netcraft use to have the beads like they use on mepps. I know many years ago we use to go to Canada and that was the go to artificial so I made up enough for our whole group.

Comment by Allen Morgan on April 4, 2013 at 3:08pm

I've been buying a lot of stuff from Netcraft over the past several weeks, but the bulk of that was for spinner baits.  Dick, you have WAY more tying stuff than I do right now.
