    WA Stocking Schedule Release?

    Yesterday, March 26, I crossed Tiger Pass driving by the Little Pend Oreille chain of lakes. No stocking there, all are frozen including the lowest elevation lake in the chain. On the way home after a dry drive over, I hit snow on the way back and near the summit there was over an inch of slush...

    eGo 24'' electric snow blower-any experience?

    This past winter was spent about 70 miles south of the Frozen Tundra in a far more mild climate with friends nearby and good shopping less than 15 minutes away. It was great, a real break from the isolation of the tundra and the 84 mile round trip for groceries. But despite the advantages there...

    Minn Kota vs Garmin electric motors

    +1 on the Garmin interface, they could be so much better.

    Caught in the middle…

    I too am a 'tweener with some mediums being way too small and some larges being way too big. Or at least I was until last week!:oops: Freestone Sue spent the week on the frozen tundra with me and it was a good-news, bad-news deal. The good news? That woman is a helluva good cook! The bad...

    Lake craft recommendation

    Ahh, yes-the malfeasant Toyota Tacoma! The progeny of the Conestoga wagon and the buckboard. If you don't have back trouble to begin with drive one for 10 years and become the chiropractors best friend. To their credit however, the 2024 models do get 4 wheel disc brakes-only 122 years since...

    Lake craft recommendation

    I'm using a Scadden Predator that I have had for several years and after correcting several gaffes on the part of Scadden it has become a very good boat. Not fast but certainly much faster and easier to manage than a Watermaster. (The bloated dead wildebeest!) Easy to car top and it takes...

    Lost at Pass Lake or Rocky Ford Creek

    I have been preaching for years to have people put their contact information on all of their fly boxes. There is enough down time in winter that a person should be able to use a few minutes of it to label your boxes. Most don't. Like Tim, I have found flies and gear along the river or at a lake...

    Rooftop Tents

    Pitching a tent on the ground is often trouble enough but in mid air? C'mon, man... Those car topper dudes remind me of the van life set that sold their homes and moved into a van at the urging of Bob Wells. The Pied Piper of the wannabee nomads. Once the romantic rhetoric wore off they...

    FS Ives's Crusin Casa-any interest in this?

    Since I am having so much trouble posting pictures (things have actually gotten worse in the past few days!) I am taking the Casa off the market for now and plan to camp and fish out of it this summer and fall. I have some improvements I want to make and just bought a new solar panel that is...

    Blob Flies!

    Try tying those blobs with a tungsten bead in the center of the hook then one color fritz behind and the other ahead.

    Pike in the San Juan Islands?

    As an invasive species pike are just amateurs. Look at what humans have done to the planet...

    New solar panel

    Today I tried out my new Elecaenta 120w folding panel. It comes highly rated with most reviewers stating that if produces more wattage than most other panels of the same size. It was a perfect day for solar panels with 30 degree temps and cloudless skies. The unit folds to 14'' x 20.5'' and...

    FS Ives's Crusin Casa-any interest in this?

    Wow, those are really old! The exterior still looks just the same but the only carryovers on the inside are the white chuck box and the bed. Floor to ceiling cabinets have been added to the left side along with an electric fridge and a sink with an electric water pump on the right. Solar has...
