Hunting with the Hedge 2020-21
HH~:
Grew up tying flies. My father was good. Fished in Upper Dam in maine where the greats fished . . . Joe Brooks, Lefty, where Carrie Stevens had her house and tied the Gray Ghost streamer smelt copy there. Big Brookies and big Landlocks and later they put Toog in.
They yanked that dam now and The Pool is gone really. Spent many a day in a Rangely wood boat, No motors were allowed in there. Hunted it starting in 1979.

He talks about those all the time, I guess that is what I sound like to them when I talk bows ... :D
His latest endeavor was to tie 100 pike flies for a tackle store. Those fish are plague here.

Static Hickory left over for the Classic. Surprised it did not sell? Putting some underlays on it of wild black cheery. Should make a hecka nice bow.

Call this bow 23rd Classic Left-Over's
Prolly the best chunk of hickory that was in the pile. Weylin needed some hot water to flip a bow. So. I got a 15gal pot going and grabbed a hickory I had floor tillered and put some small static hooks on it. That was Friday maybe or Thursday (not sure). No one bought that static, I adopted it and threw it in truck. Think Greg B had some small pieces of zerba wood from making knife scales that I cleaned up and tossed on this thing with some cherry underlays.
Looks good so far and should make a nice bow as did all the others I did at the classic. This was a good pignut tree.

First brace at 4.5", letting it sweat a bit feeling that heavy weight on wood. Like to come in super heavy on the statics. had one I made a long time ago come in in 15lbs light as I came in. Just have to go slow and start heavy heavy.
Left Overs is right up the middle and should make a nice heavy or medium no frills meat rig.
