Hello, Ilive in Ft. Collins, Colorado and was wondering if there are any Bass clubs around here? I tried the search feature and could not find anything. :-/

Hi, yes , the water will cook out of the lead as it heats up, but it is good to weare protective gear in case you spill or bump over your pot. Also any stray raindrops or bird dropings or your yard sprinkler inadvertantly beeing turned on could be a problem.

Welding caps are brightley colored fairley heavy matereal with a small flexable bill (Kromer brand) that fits snugley on your head to keep welding sparks and other hot splatter from removing what hair you have left, cost about $7.00. Cape sleeves are leather sleeves attached to a leather cape that covers your arms and shoulders, about $30.00. A leather bib usualy can be attached to the front of the front of the cape sleves with built in snaps and a strap that goes around your back to hold it in place and can be had in 18-20" lengths that protects your abdoman, cost about $8-10.00. These can be purchased fron your local welding supplier. Also wear jeans (no shorts please) that cover the tops of high top leather boots. Have a good day!

Remember, safety first! Go to your local welding supply store and pick up a good face shield, a welding cap, some welding gloves and maybe a leather cape sleeve with a bib. Alot cheeper than Dr. bills...

I love to fish for Bluegills on a 3 wt. flyrod but I also end up getting a few bass also, makes for quite a contest if they are of any size.
