    What's your favorite dry or emerger Callibaetis pattern?

    Gulper Special. Similar to a parachute Adams but slightly different color. I use it as something else to try when the fish are picky.

    Pike in the San Juan Islands?

    I remember reading about someone catching a walleye in Lake WA some years back. Hopefully whoever dumped the pike and walleye in there didn't dump enough of them to become established

    Garmin Striker Questions

    Thanks for the good advice. I will see if that helps. I don't think it is the down rigger counter that's off. I have two of them, different brands and they both read similar depths. I believe that the transducer is reasonably parallel to the water. Its the exact same setup I used with my old...

    Garmin Striker Questions

    It is on my 14' aluminum boat. I have down riggers on the boat and checked the depth by lowering the down riggers until I hit bottom in about 100 feet of water. I'm using the electric trolling motor mount for the transducer. Instead of mounting it on my trolling motor I have it mounted on an L-...

    Garmin Striker Questions

    I replaced my 30 year old Hummingbird FF with a Garmin Stryker last spring. The depth readings it gives me are way off. I need to spend some time troubleshooting. My Hummingbird was very accurate.

    UV Resin

    I have not ever used it, don't know much about the different kinds available, but have been thinking of giving it a try. The uv lights vary in price a lot, like 14 to 75 bucks. What's difference. Are the higher priced lights worth the cost?

    Watercraft Recommendations for Puget Sound/Hood Canal?

    A good all around fishing boat is a 14' aluminum boat with small outboard. It is relatively low cost and lets you cover way more water than a canoe or kayak. I have a 14er I have had for over 30 years and have fished in the sound with it a lot. It's also great for ponds and lakes. It's easy to...

    NFR Anybody want to shoot some owls....

    If all of the barred owls in my neighborhood in Kirkland were killed off I don't believe that would benefit spotted owls.

    NFR Help me kill my lawn

    If the yard is fenced, just buy or borrow some chickens. At my house, a dozen chickens took a lush green lawn down to bare dirt over an area of roughly 600-700 SF in about two weeks.

    What plants, weeds and/or trees do you hate and why?

    Blackberries. The western WA landscape would be so different without them. Nettles are another plant I'm not too fond of, but they are a distant second. I'll never plant another wisteria. After wrestling with one for 20+ years I finally cut ours down, but the memory lingers. It is still sending...
