    Second fishing trip in my new truck

    If there's monetary incentive to learn the system and read the directions it will work. I actually think I'm onto something here. A company can cut costs, seal a consumer into their system, and reduce waste. This equates to more loyal customer base, higher profits, and less overall garbage...

    This is true. Maybe a company can sell somewhat of a mother of all spools for an extra charge then charge less for the less packaged lines with instructions how to use the system. I'm talking a complete revolution in consumer education and fly line packaging. Something totally out of the box...

    What's annoying about this post is that I literally toss all that packaging and store my lines in a plastic bag in a bin. Why aren't they sold in a plastic bag? The packaging surrounding fly lines is terrible. For an industry that has many ardent environmental concerned practitioners it's a...

    Is this for real? Did someone actually buy one of these things? I don't believe it. I need more proof.

    WA Coast question

    A skilled clam artists presents fifteen perfectly unmolested clams sand free beside a shovel at the end of a session. He then goes home to wash his gear, oil said shovel handle and blade. Once done he proceeds to clean the limit with fine scissors.

    I suggest the 18" clam wraith for that time of year. Sometimes when they are shallow you can get away with a 14" sand stalker. Although my favorite is the 16" clam sniper for all around conditions all times of the year. It's truly an all beach shovel. Especially in the mid length handle in ash.

    The commission system would likely work if it was more balanced. The original idea was that people with diverse interests in wildlife would be on the commission. This would include sporting people and folks who simply like to birdwatch or photograph wildlife. It was not really intended to be a...
