I'm not sure what's a worse rabbit hole, this or reloading. I've been to the fly shop 4 times this week. The owner just laughs. I need to find a cheap used desk and a place to set up. I've taken over half the kitchen table. The wife is tolerant so far. I told her to let me know when it gets...
Made a few chironomids to take to the pond. Caught a real pretty one. Measured at 18". Caught another one that was bigger but not as pretty. Wasn't really looking for a new hobby but it's become quite addictive.

Did you break the boots in prior to your TKR? Think maybe after that, you're walking different and putting more weight on that foot than previously? Just a thought.
