    Tropical Water Flies?

    I'm not a tropical water angler, so I don't know the worth of these flies. Make me an offer. They were received in a donation, so I prefer the payment be made as a donation to Project Healing Waters. $10? $20? $50? You tell me what's fair.

    Les Johnson's Fly-Fishing Coastal Cutthroat Trout

    Hard cover signed edition of Les Johnson's Fly-Fishing Coastal Cutthroat Trout. Excellent like new condition. This was received in a donation, so I'd prefer the buyer make a donation to Project Healing Waters rather than paying me. I feel a donation of between $75 and $100 would be...

    Big Fish Flies

    I'm in the Elk Plain area near Bethel high school. I received some flies in a recent donation that my folks won't use. I'm thinking these are for big trout or bass. There are probably 25-30 flies in the pile. More big flies. Musky? There are 15 total in two sizes. Magnetic rod holder...

    Lodge Recommendations

    Now that I'm retired, I want to check something off my bucket list. I'm looking for recommendations for a steelhead fishing lodge on the Skeena River for the late summer run. I've looked at quite a few, but I'd like some recommendations from someone that's been up there. Thanks all.

    Deschutes Guide Recommendation

    I'm planning a trip for a handful (6-8) of disabled veterans from Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing to fish the Deschutes late May/early June 2023. I'd like to hire guides for a day or partial day. Any recommendations? Is Madras or Maupin any better than the other?

    Neoprene Booties on Waders

    Is there a trick to sliding the neoprene stocking-foot of waders into a wading boot without it sticking and forcing your toes to get cramped and crushed? I've worn stocking-foot waders for years but have always had a hard time getting the stocking-foot to easily slide in the boot and fit...

    Puzzle Help

    I'm not a regular lake fisher, but I spend a little time on them before the rivers open up. I have a small seasonal lake near me that is stocked before opening day, and I usually fish it a few days after it opens when the crowds go away. Trolling or casting and retrieving a 'bugger or leech...
