Kirk Deeter is walking around in Chuck Taylor All-Star high tops, greasing his flies with home-brew fly floatant, and touting 99-cent mini fingernail clippers. Plenty of good ideas pop up in response to Deeter’s post on Fly Talk, including uses for circuit testers, silicone brake fluid, ShamWows, and, last but not least, a wife’s old purses. Before you know it, folks are going to be packing oversized plastic garbage bags in their vests for emergency rain protection. (Hmm….)
