Looks like a handy contraption. Also, for the last 3-4 years I don't go in a river without my collapsible wading staff.

Glue Guy - Hula Hoop is a great idea. My wife has one! I've been using trash can lid.
RichC - yeah, definitely thinking about it. Got lot's of inherited antique fly rods decorating the house. Just never got into it and right now I need to let all my recent upgrade$ fade a bit. I was out yesterday in the Yak and realized I really needed a new pfd/vest so I ordered a Stohlquist PFD. fred

Had a blast this year down on the outer banks, got a total of 4 red drum! All in the surf! What a battle those fish give!

That was weekend activity for us. Each of the kids had a old-fashioned casting reel, and we would put a rubber plug on, and target practice hitting a hula hoop at the far side of the back yard. I got pretty good at it.
Then we would go fishing, and Dad would point to the spots where we wanted to plant our lure for that lunker. Fond memories.

You fly fish or thinking about taking it up?

Target practice in yard with rubber plugs is fun. Forgot how accurate those old pistol grip rods can be. Should be casting contests on golf courses - tee off with 12 foot surf, 6 to 7 1/2 foot baitcaster on fairway and pistol grip on green! Fly guys do the sand trap chip shots!
RichC, waders on on the list! fred fred

Over the years I've evolved into all fly fishing. Seems I like hiking in rivers whether I catch anything or not.
