Man are these things heavy!!!

Used work's forklift to swith the engine to the Ford as it's about 11" lower than the Dodge. Damn glad we did.. the pallet added 4.5" in height so the stand couldnt be attached and walked away.. took three of us to manhandle it out of the bed LOL.. Finally someone used they're head and let it fall onto one side.. had the pin been in the stand that would never have happened.. "I'll take credit there LOL" but with 2 36" x 48" panels of MDS plywood we hopscotched it back to the tinker tavern.. so this Turkey Day I'll be greasy LOL... Hoping for the best...

Well couldnt wait just had to pull the pan for a peek.. Not as bad as what I expected. Not real good but ....?

I can see it now, a big rainbow oil slick when the fly lands.
I have a Sage rod and reel but i'm a newbie and have only
caught oak, pine, redwood trees, the wife, my hat and a few
surface stumps in the streams. It looks so cool when someone
that knows what they're doing catching fish, hell I feed them with bait.

LOL!
Dunno how or why but sometimes it works when nothing else will.
I've sprayed it on sand shrimp and done well with steelhead on the Skagit.

I "grabbed" a Fenwick Eagle Graphite E85SM-2 steelhead pole that had a Mitchell 300A spinning reel complete as a unit for $37.50 at a Payless store 16 years ago. It was miss marked big time, an old timer standing next to me said if I didn't buy it he would instantly. A little overkill in small streams going for rainbows in California when the catch is 10"-12" maximum. Biggest catch so far was a 16 pound catchfish as a local lake.
Now doing this with the graphite ultra-light 5' 6" Shimano pole and reel is a rewarding battle.
Some day i'll get back to catching branches with the fly rig.

Thread stealer me i'm guilty again.

Thats fine Carl, LOL hell I got a nice South Bend No.47 9' (3-pc) cane fly rod & a NIB Perrine auto no. 37p off ebay about three years ago now.. neither have seen so much as a strining up. Put the pole together once for a look at the final setup and then shelved it all. Someday the fun will outway the bills and it'll ge used... yeahh sure thing Bob

I can practice casting in the back yard giving the cat her exercise.
When I first got the fly rig I went to a local county run lake to practice and a game warden came along and started writing me a citation until she (go figure) found I had no hook or any other fishing tackle.
Same here, "when I have time".
have a good and safe holiday.
