I've got a free day on Saturday and the early forecast is calling for beautiful spring weather. Anyone wanna meet up on a lake? I'm good to drive up to a couple of hours from Tacoma. I have a pontoon.

It's been a while since I had a day for myself so I took my 3 weight to a small stream. I usually fish here from late April to early June, today marking the latest I've fished it and by far the least amount of water. I also explored a new section of stream. It fished quite a bit different today...

I recently broke my 9' 6 weight and looking for a replacement. We don't have a lot of expendable income at the moment so looking for something on the inexpensive side. I tend to like rods in the moderate to moderate-fast action. Prefer local pickup in the Tacoma area.

Last time out on the beach my 2 piece rod came loose at the ferrule and I didn't realize it. I cast and heard a little crack then the upper piece flew off mid cast. Upon inspection I found the male ferrule to be cracked about 2 inches down the section. For reference, this is a rod I built on a...

I had a student tell me something yesterday that tripped my "internet nonsense" detector. Apparently they watched some TikTok video that claimed we (the body of science) doesn't know how eels reproduce. I did a quick Google search, found out this was nonsense and then fell into a rabbit hole of...

I received these as a gift and they didn't quite fit right. I tried wearing them about 10 times, mostly indoors to see if they would adjust to my foot. Unfortunately they did not and I drug my feet on working out a return. My mistake, your gain! The link below is the boot that I have, AU/UK...

Do you lactic acid ferment food items? What are your favorite recipes/produce? What setups do you use? I have been lactofermenting vegetables for as long as I can remember. I grew up spending a lot of time with my very rural, depression era grandfather and a 5 gallon crock full of sauerkraut...

My dogs went crazy when I let them out at 5:15 this morning. It took me several minutes to find what they were concerned about, but I eventually say a silhouette on the power lines in the alley. Still I couldn't make out what it was so I grabbed a flashlight and got closer. Much to my surprise...

I just returned from my first "destination" fishing trip. A multi day trip where the only goal was to flyfish. I spent a considerable amount of time planning and prepping for this trip hoping that with enough work, I could will a successful outing into existence. I'm not especially technically...

I'm looking to upgrade my cooler. Currently I have a college branded rolling cooler from Coleman that the wheels no longer stay on. Pretty much this: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Coleman/5013596677 I don't have the budget for a Yeti or other super high end, but want something more functional than...

Scenario: you approach a stream know to hold trout, but haven't fished it before and don't have any recent Intel on how it is fishing. What is your thought/search process for finding the types of water the trout are holding in? How does it differ by species of trout? What are you throwing at...

Today was my first day of summer as school let out yesterday. I grabbed another teacher buddy and we headed for a little blue line. We fished from 11-6 catching about 3 dozen native coastal cutts between us. Average fish was only 7-8" but they were taking dries readily and we caught trout up to...

Found this big boy/girl in my backyard today. I'm in central Tacoma, closest water is about 1 mile away.

I'll be on a *super secretive* Thurston county selective gear lake tomorrow. I'll be in a framed pontoon with red 'toons, pretending that I know what I'm doing. Come say hi if you're on the lake too.

Anyone want to meet up on a south sound beach for tomorrow's afternoon outgoing? Shoot me a PM if you are interested

In the process of having a bathroom added to our house, we know our existing bath would take some damage. That was ok with us as we wanted to give it a facelift too. The bathroom and closet doors had paint that was bubbling, cracking, and peeling. I knew what needed to be done. A 5 gallon...

I took a trip over the pass to chase trout on the Yak with a buddy today. We did plenty of chasing but couldn't manage to catch anything in about 6 hours of chucking streamers and nymph rigs. The weather was lovely though.

Updating a classic.
