Yea, I’ve seen a few swoops at them, that’s the first that made contact. Fortunately my casting is so poor they probably couldn’t predict the motion to make contact more often.

Nice. I worked out of Tionesta on a river project around 2002 to 2004. Hadn’t heard or really thought about it much in quite a few years. Thanks for helping boot up some memories.

Well I was casting and caught it on a back cast, but it was caught right around the upper arm. So it was a snag. ☹️ Oddly, I rarely catch much on the back cast. Except for alders, and willows, and… there really isn’t much free time left for the animal kingdom.

Hopefully there will be more flys and more trout! I’ve never caught a butterfly on a fly rod. I did catch a bat once, and was able to let it go.

Thanks guys. This thread is turning into a forum software tutorial.

Welcome! I have a very similar standing paddle from Shaw and Tenney it was great fun in my old Dagger that I used for standing paddling and poling back in the 90s. It is a fun way to paddle and fish in the right canoe. I got it out and used it in my Minette the other day. I had a nice swim...

I got the moose part down while working on Isle Royale for a few summers. The walleye part never happened.

Thanks. What a great commute to work Pook! Enjoy your trip in that Pal. When I do the recanvas and repairs I would like to replace the 75th Anniversary decal. Does anyone know of a source?

Thank you! Yours looks beautiful. I thought this was a Chestnut Chum when I bought it. After cleaning it up a bit I saw the shadow of the Peterborough 75th anniversary decal, and the 1815 stamped into the stem. Curing speed is nice, but durability and weight (and cost) are worth more to me, so...
