    Does anyone know of a good 3 gallon outboard fuel tank?

    So, I bought this fuel tank last year: https://www.westmarine.com/west-marine-3-gallon-epa-portable-fuel-tank-20375358.html It is GARBAGE. If the reviews had been there when I bought it, I'd have run. It leaks badly out of that plastic fitting where it screws into the tank. Anyone have a...

    NEW ARTICLE: Adding a bow mount motor to your small aluminum boat..

    Adding a Bow Mount Trolling Motor Platform to Your Small Boat Okay, I don't know how many PNWFF members this project will interest. But it's something that doesn't have a lot of real-world walkthrough examples out there on the internet. So I figured I would write a...

    Warm spring weather is coming! What are your fishing plans?

    It is looking like we've got at least a couple weeks of warmer mostly sunny weather ahead. Yeah, we're a little early for a lot of fisheries. But there are still opportunities out there. Who has some fishing (or fishing related) plans for the stretch of nice weather?

    Anyone tie a Pig Boat fly? Maybe for bass?

    I don't usually look for flies at big box stores. I either pick them up at fly shops if I want nice ones or order them online if I just want basic cheap-o versions. But I was wasting a little time at Sportsman's Warehouse yesterday and ran across this fly: It was labeled as a "Pig Boat" and...

    Big weather changes coming, could save the snowpack (esp in WA)

    Starting to sound like a significant change in weather pattern is showing up in the next week or so. And the cooler temps and precip might just help us with our weak snowpack up here in WA (OR snowpack isn't that bad, actually). Would also help those of us who snow slide have a decent spring...

    A pretty but not too thrilling summer bass lake report

    NOTE: This is from last summer (July). I had posted it over on the, now closed, PNWfishing.net site we had running for a while. I didn't feel like banishing it to the land of internet ghosts, so I'm reposting here. Not particularly timely, but perhaps it's nice to think about warm fishing days...

    Five things I learned today from this "truck fell through the ice" article...

    I have lived in the western part of Cascadia all my life. So I've never spent a winter anywhere that it gets REALLY cold. Around here, as most of you know, lakes only freeze once in a long while. So ice fishing isn't really a "thing" in these parts. Which is fine by me as it sounds deathly...

    What fishing are you dreaming of right now?

    We're in a dreary part of the year and the weather the past few weeks has been pretty cruddy for many of us. Be it closed water or cold temps, except for some very hearty individuals, fishing is more of a dream than a reality for most folks. So what fishing is occupying your dreams right now...

    Looking for summer bass lake airbnb/vrbo suggestions...

    Looking for some warm(er) weather airbnb/VRBO options that are on bass lakes. Doesn't have to be anything amazing as far as the fishing goes. Just somewhere that I could pop out in the AM for some casts before I hang with the lady (or family) for the day. Bonus if there's a dock we can hang out...

    An alternative/additional weather news option that isn't Cliff Mass - PNW Weather Watch

    We all know Cliff Mass and many of us have read his blog for years. The guy knows a ton of stuff about PNW weather and I respect that. But there is room for an alternative. Particularly in a world where video/voice is sometimes a better way to communicate than text/images. I've been watching...

    Cold weather coming this week, get those hose bibs covered...

    Gonna be some cold weather coming into the PNW later this week. Seems worse for those on the north end of things (and even more so for those on the east side of the hills in the north). Get those hose bibs covered and leave the faucets dripping.

    Tucktec Folding Kayak Review By: @Josh Look at me! I can fold an origami kayak and catch a fish! Jokes aside, I was pretty impressed with this unique little thing. Fits in a Prius and paddles faster than I can kick a float tube...

    Great Black Friday deal on Nocqua Lithium fishfinder batteries...

    Looks like Nocqua batteries are on sale at Amazon. This is pretty unusual. I've been keeping my eye on them for a while and haven't seen a discount. They make great batteries for tube/kayak fishfinders. I know @Billy has one and I feel like a few others do as well. Discount seems to be roughly...

    NFR Who's ready for $75 Tesla Cyberbeer!

    Some folks think Tesla's eternally coming-soon Cybertruck is a much needed advanced evolution from a boring pickup design that hasn't changed much in 40+ years. Others think it's a piece of hot garbage that any 12 year old could have doodled in 4th period math class. Still others wish, for any...

    NFR First new TV in 15 years.... dang!

    We've had the same TV for a long time. ~15 years as best as we can count. An old 43" Vizio LCD. It's chugged along, survived two toddlers and multiple pets. But was starting to get a little long in the tooth. Sometimes turning it on took a couple tries. The screen wasn't bright enough for our...
