PSA #8: DIY Lanyard

Do It Yourself lanyard for a Loon Outdoors Nip N' Sip 2.0

1. Cut a six inch piece off of an old fly line. You can use the shooting head or the smaller diameter running line depending on your size preference.
2. Thread one end of the fly line through lanyard hole.
3. Make an overhand loop and cinch the knot.
4. Trim both tag ends of the fly line.
5. Liberally apply Loon Outdoors UV Wader Repair or UV Knot Sense to the knot.
6. Zap with UV Mega Light for 10 to 15 seconds or expose to sunlight.
7. Attach lanyard to vest, pack, etcetera, as desired.
8. Be awesome.

Note: for heavy duty items, you can substitute 550 Type III paracord as lanyard material

Latergrams - Week 12

It's damn near spring, so there's plenty going on inside the Roughfisher Command Post, including some monster fly tying sessions and some epic mail days.

Another round out the door. This batch is headed to re-supply @rusuperfly world headquarters. Get some while they're hot. #carpfood #flytying #flyfarming #carponthefly #carppro #artisanflies

Yahtzee! Jay Zimmerman's "Best Carp Flies" just landed on my doorstep this afternoon. A SOLID collaboration of some of the most tried and true carp patterns on the planet. Check out page 201 for a step by step of my Admiral Akbar pattern. There's even a shout out to Carp Crack. #carpfood #flytying #flyfarming #carponthefly #carppro #artisanflies #carpcrack @umpquafeathermerchants

A murder of black crows. And you just know they're up to no good. Jet black carp crack tied with a gill red underbody. #carpcrack #carpfood #flytying #flyfarming #carponthefly #carppro #artisanflies
