If I had some of these, I'd kill more worms.

It's not everyday that I'm impressed with a piece of wood and a feather or two, but Andrew Field somehow managed it. His custom made floats are works or art, and that's not hyperbole.

He's based out of the UK, so Lord only knows what shipping would be to here in the States, but that's still not too much of a deterrent. He even has cases for them too!

Check out his Handmand Fishing Floats Here.

Poor Man's Lanyard

A while back I post about a DIY that I found for a lanyard. Total cost was about $10-15. Not to shabby. I thought that I would make one, but as I rummaged around the house, I came up mostly empty handed. I did find a few things that I could improvise, so after a quick stop at the craft shop I was ready to go.

I used 75 lb hemp string for the lanyard that I had laying around the house. I then added some wooden beads that I bought, 70 beads for a buck. Intermixed these with a few swivels and a knot of the back and I was ready for the water! I made the tippet holder out of some Dacron backing and two more swivels.  Total cost? Somewhere between $3-4. Gotta love being cheap. :D

Fishing in style! Fishing chairs.

Are you one of those people that loves to fish, but hates to stand? Do you also thinking fishing from the bank is for schmucks? Then today is your lucky day.

If you happen to go out to Pyramid Lake, make sure you stop by the Crosby Lodge.  For it is there that your new fishing chair awaits.

It swivels... it's green.... and you can fish from it while in the water. What more could one demand?

I think that this baby speaks for itself. If you want to see it in action, click the chair page.  Make sure you check the lower right pic, proof positive that everyone is using one.
