    Dual purpose pontoons (stillwater & rivers)?

    You might check out. NRS gigbob. I have one and it's good in Rivers and lakes. No frame, inflates to a higher pressure like an inflatable paddle board. I use a electric motor on mine in big reservoirs. Have seen pictures of a guy who is using a 3 HP gas motor on hia in some big Colorado...

    Klink and Dink Setup?

    I fish the bass version of this. Instead of a hopper and dropper it's a popper and a bugger (or closer). Works well.

    C. WA Lake Report

    I use an old frame pack. I set it upside down on top of the seat of my tube clip to d rings with a strap that stays on the pack and then thread the apron through the frame of the pack. Much more stable set up for walking to me than the d rings on the bottom of my fat cat. Comfortable for a...

    Total Eclipse!!! Awesome.... Experience of a lifetime!

    Great pictures Shawn! I visited my daughter in College Place and flew home through Dallas. Was able to see the partial from the terminal, but totality happened after we loaded the flight for SeaTac. Still a cool experience.

    Litter

    I agree with Jasmillo that more people equals more garbage, but it also has to do with that feeling of being anonymous when there are tons of folks around that don't know you, not knowing your neighbors, being in a car. People behave better in many ways when they live in smaller groups...

    Smallmouth Flies Advice Request

    If you're lucky they may take poppers. I fished a lot for them in Eastern Oregon and have done well on divers and poppers when they are in the mood. Hanging a bugger or clouser off the popper works well too. If the fish are deep no popper and sinking line. It seems that getting the fly in...

    Wet Flies for Lakes

    First bug looks a lot like the Carrot Nymph one of the flies recommended by by Enos Bradner in Northwest Angling for coastal cutts. Another one of the ties he liked was the Puget Bug, a small fly with a body of 2 light and one dark moose mane, collar of peacock and then soft partridge hackle...

    Strange, Weird, Funny Border crossings

    Once we took our lab Sally up to Canada under blankets in the back seat with the kids. She was a great dog, not a peep or even a wag. No fuss. I crossed many times to do gigs in Canada during the 70's. The first one was the only exciting one. I was is Edgar, my '64 Dodge truck heading...

    Soap Lake

    35 years ago I used to always stay at the tolo vista. Right on the main drag, tubs with soap lake water for a mineral bath in kind of funky cabins. No idea about restaurants any more or where to find the soap lake honeys. You might want to ask Billy about them

    What are you listening to?

    any recent intel on Rocky Ford?

    The first few times I fished Rocky Ford trout lodge had not set up operations yet, it was under fly only regulations with a one fish limit over 18 I think. I had a friend that told me about it. The upper part was the abandoned hatchery raceways and ponds, no big building like there is now...
