    Bobber fishing rod? What'cha using?

    I use the same 6 wt rod for everything, a V2 Scott and just 3diffeent lines, a WF floater, a sink tip, and a type 5 full sinking line. And surprise surprise I seem to catch fish just fine and generally as well or better than other around me. I guess refuse to buy into the manufacturers hype...

    Run Etiquette

    I have kind of a different take on fishing runs. If I am first in and someone shows up and it is a kind of long run, a couple of hundred yards or so I will say like why don't you drop in about half way down and if I catch up t6o you I will leap frog and we can work our way down the river this...

    Planned vs Reality of Lake Stocking #s - Large Discrepancy

    Divad what I see reading between the lines is you are mot catching bigger fish and think you should catch them like you catch fresh pants. Well hold over fish a different game so change your tactics as almost every planted lake will have large hold overs. DAVE

    Recommended IPS for stillwater sinking line?

    The type you use depends on what you want to do. If you want to fish a rising and sinking type of presentation by retrieving line then a type 3 would be a good choice. If wanting to stay deep then a 6 or 7 would be the call. Dave

    NFR Has anyone insulated their garage door?

    You can paint the out side of the door a high gloss brilliant white and fill the recessed panels inside the frame work with foam sheeting, on the inside of the door. The frame if solid wood is a great insulator by itself. Dave

    WDFW Advertising for the WA Chinook Troll fishery?

    I do not want this to be a political discussion but fish and game management is highly political in this state. Mods if this is offensive then dump it. Dave

    WDFW Advertising for the WA Chinook Troll fishery?

    If I remember correctly WDFW has a mandate by the state to prioritize commercial fishing. It goes back to timber and fish built this state. I know that was then and this is now but a lot is still done by the terms and agreements of then. That's how it is until a different bunch of elected...
