You'd have to ask Bruce, but I know purple was working for him.

He left his tent unstaked for a moment one morning, to get a precious
cup of coffee I suppose, and it blew out into a slough. It was funny
because Bruce is such a perfectionist about camping. He always had his
**** together (except for a green wading belt, which he eventually found
after much searching).

I, on the other hand ... thank God for Danl. I ended up using his spare
waders, his eyeglasses case, and his Petzl. I even have a Harry Potter
book, in very poor condition, that was supposed to go to him. I lost my
camera for one sickening half hour -- eventually found it in my left
wader leg.

What else? Three broken rods; Danl losing his glasses (twice); Bevin's
and Bruce's Mr. Toad's Wild Ride through the sweeper channel; missing
the takeout, which was the last feasible campsite, and getting towed
back by a couple of natives. It was an epic trip.

I ve always been plagued with shoe laces coming loose once or twice
while fishing. The problem got worse after my intregal gravel guards
broke. One day I hit upon this idea and so far it s worked well.
After lacing up thru the last speed buckle I do the first part of
a shoe lace tie( without the bow) and thread down thru the bottom
two speed buckles and then tie off at the bottom one.

Perhaps with the knot being in the middle of the shoe it s not
catching on things, also boot stays tighter as it s gripped at top
and middle. Anyway seems to work for me for what it s worth ...

I was once told by an elder experienced fly-fisherman to always lace & tie
the wading boots wet, pulling from the center of the crosses.
I also use Ian's Secure Shoelace Knot, actually seen it done by backpackers
for their hiking boots. http://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/secureknot.htm

I am dumbfounded by the amount of thought this guy has put into shoelaces.

Agree, he also takes credit for a lot of what was done years ago, some shoe
tying techniques I've read in Boy's Life magazine when I was a Cub Scout
back in the 60's. That was the only good illustration I could find on the
double shoelace knot.
