You might check out. NRS gigbob. I have one and it's good in Rivers and lakes. No frame, inflates to a higher pressure like an inflatable paddle board. I use a electric motor on mine in big reservoirs. Have seen pictures of a guy who is using a 3 HP gas motor on hia in some big Colorado...

I fish the bass version of this. Instead of a hopper and dropper it's a popper and a bugger (or closer). Works well.

I use an old frame pack. I set it upside down on top of the seat of my tube clip to d rings with a strap that stays on the pack and then thread the apron through the frame of the pack. Much more stable set up for walking to me than the d rings on the bottom of my fat cat. Comfortable for a...

Great pictures Shawn! I visited my daughter in College Place and flew home through Dallas. Was able to see the partial from the terminal, but totality happened after we loaded the flight for SeaTac. Still a cool experience.

I agree with Jasmillo that more people equals more garbage, but it also has to do with that feeling of being anonymous when there are tons of folks around that don't know you, not knowing your neighbors, being in a car. People behave better in many ways when they live in smaller groups...

Oregon won't take cans not purchased in state.

If you're lucky they may take poppers. I fished a lot for them in Eastern Oregon and have done well on divers and poppers when they are in the mood. Hanging a bugger or clouser off the popper works well too. If the fish are deep no popper and sinking line. It seems that getting the fly in...

I remember there being some pothole lakes with stocked trout close to town.

Driving with a lawyer friend, he said this too!

Looks like Central Oregon to me! We couldn't see any of those Volcanos form Eastern Oregon!

First bug looks a lot like the Carrot Nymph one of the flies recommended by by Enos Bradner in Northwest Angling for coastal cutts. Another one of the ties he liked was the Puget Bug, a small fly with a body of 2 light and one dark moose mane, collar of peacock and then soft partridge hackle...

I know of someone who had fall reservations for last year, lost deposit, Bad deal.

Once we took our lab Sally up to Canada under blankets in the back seat with the kids. She was a great dog, not a peep or even a wag. No fuss. I crossed many times to do gigs in Canada during the 70's. The first one was the only exciting one. I was is Edgar, my '64 Dodge truck heading...

35 years ago I used to always stay at the tolo vista. Right on the main drag, tubs with soap lake water for a mineral bath in kind of funky cabins. No idea about restaurants any more or where to find the soap lake honeys. You might want to ask Billy about them

Here's a Christmas tune that really puts the Bah in Humbug!
