I bought one at Blue Ribbon flies
It was $30 or more
Like a zinger for a wading stick.

My wife lost a good wooden one on the Old Man River in Alberta so If any of
you find a hand carved one there- it's hers.

I just bought her a Leki - I have one
Any ideas where I can buy this "leash" - other than Blue RIbbon Flies

Thanks
