Comment on Tenkara in Willard Brook by Richard

Beautiful brookie, Michael. I’ve wondered whether some of the really small streams around here hold trout. Willard Brook passes along the back of a relative’s backyard in W. Townsend, but I’m never thinking about trying that water when there’s high enough (or low enough) water to fish. Neat story, and one I’ll keep in mind this fall when the fishing might improve.

Hi,
Are the demo and files you posted for creating demos of mockups using balsamiq still available? The links above are broken.

Thanks in advance
Scott

Comment on Handmade Brass Fly Fishing Reel by gilbert Biles

It looks like a very good job. I am making a wood reel called a Nottingham Style Reel made about 1860 -1890. in Nottingham England. I have a friend that has a set (3) of these reels and I took the small one apart and copyed the parts. I am now looking on how to make a silk line for the reel. The reel is real smoth working. I am also in the process of making a horse hair fly line also to try on the reel with my bambo fly rod. Let me know if you have instructions on making silk fly lines or where I can find them.

Dear M,
That is a perfect moment. The kind of day I dream of. In the SoCal this was common 30 yrs ago, but not today. No water, and it is all fenced in storm drains where streams once stood. Habitat was replaced by houses. I you can imagine one house after another from north LA to the border (130 miles) from the ocean inland 70 miles. Solid!!! When I moved here it was open fields and orchards. Enjoy and take every stream.

Great story! I’ll bet there are little brooks like that all over the place. Ones that no one fishes because, well, “no one fishes there.” I’ll also bet lots of them hold fish and tenkara is the perfect way to fish them.
