The pond was stocked last week, and the trout are rising. This rainbow took a dry fly.

Gun designs that date back before 1899 are considered primitive weapons. This is my muzzleloader, a CVA Wolf model that uses musket caps as its ignition source. I got it for Christmas and am just trying it out now. Such fun it is. Powder is poured down the barrel, then a ball or bullet is rammed on top of that.

I installed a rear peep sight, and front ghost ring with a crosshair insert

This mayfly escaped unharmed. I just recently bought this Umpqua fly at Cabela's that looks like this bug. Probably a good sign. southborough rod and gun club
