    U.S. drafts plan to bring grizzly bears back to Washington’s North Cascades (WAPO)

    Didn’t know that hatchery deer were a thing, did they clip the tails ;)

    U.S. drafts plan to bring grizzly bears back to Washington’s North Cascades (WAPO)

    Pretty sure the deer already are in popular recreation areas? Does this warrant removing them?

    Bizarre Elongated Fins on Rainbow Trout

    I kinda wanna invest in a 500 gallon chilled tank with current just to keep that sucker. If I find a genie my 3 wishes will be 1) Catch one. 2) Catch another. 3) successfully breed a population of Fancy Rainbows to sell at exuberant prices

    Dog Bite On Waders

    Did a online Drs appointment, they said with no blood draw and no direct contact I should be good. Things can get scary quick

    Bizarre Elongated Fins on Rainbow Trout

    I read somewhere that this is a rare recessive allele but I do have to concur with @Smalma that every example of fantailing I see is accompanied with severe fin damage

    Dog Bite On Waders

    I think he got spooked because me and my buddy caught up to him too quickly. We stopped so I could show him how to carry a fly rod butt forward and the dog stopped with us, he bit me when I walked past him. Probably would never happened if the lady kept him on a damn leash, which I made sure she...

    Dog Bite On Waders

    First off, I am not using this forum for medical advice and am contacting a doctor tomorrow morning. I was hiking to a river today when someones unleashed little shiteating dog entirely unprovoked jumped up and snapped its jaws on my knee. I stupidly did not get information from the owner...

    Probably should have seen this post in the morning before deciding to trek waist deep across the Middle Fork Snoqualmie :ROFLMAO:

    Bizarre Elongated Fins on Rainbow Trout

    Check out this post. Those fins almost resemble those of an arctic grayling! I wonder if the mutation that produced these is what eventually created arctic grayling. I also wonder if one day in the distant future this mutation will be more prevalent

    Mind if I ask what you tied these with? The top one especially is gorgeous. I see diamond braid, rubber legs, and I think hackle feathers? I'd love to try these out, I'd like to see how it fished behind a flasher and experiment with a jiggy version of the beach

    They DARED TO REMOVE ME

    I eat blue rare steaks twice a day in the hopes of being half as masculine as Jim Travers

    Has Jim been acquainted with those San Juan Pike?

    Maybe the real Jim Travers was the friends we made along the way

    Non-Fly 2023 - Dirtbag PS Salty Salmon Fishing

    Do you do silvers on plugs too? I troll when I go out with family or friends who don't want to mess around with mooching and I have to say the flasher really kills the fun on those fish

    Non-Fly 2023 - Dirtbag PS Salty Salmon Fishing

    What are you guys favorite saltwater rigs? My trolling program is simple, green hornet pro troll flasher always for Kings, one hornet and one UV for coho. I swap out to whichever produces more fish throughout the day. Kings I stick with 4 or 3 inch kingfisher spoons in cookies and cream or...

    Stillie gamefish opportunities.

    That's really cool. And also emphasizes why conservation of different ESU's is important. Makes you wonder how the basin would look if it provided better habitat. Lets say in the distant future by some miracle the Stilly recovers, and the Skagit Springs continue to have an upward trajectory...
