Last Saturday we put in at Marblemount and planned to take out at Rockport. While doing the shuttle, I realized I'd be rowing all day, with my bro in law not comfortable on the sticks. Realizing that I'd be doing very little (if any fishing) we decided to pull out at Sutter Creek instead, a...

So you just can't walk into a fly shop any more and buy a fishing license like the old days?

Buzzy, I'm going through the same thing...looking for a different printer after just buying a new Brother. I'm about ready to set fire to this one and send it to WM. I have had to clean the jets every time, after even printing a single copy and even then the quality is still crappy. I printed a...

Troutpocket did much better than me but that's not surprising.

I rarely watch this guy cause he's usually a little too profane for me but since this was on TV, he had to watch his language. I found this spot on to my opinion. Apologies if someone already posted it.

I have always appreciated Charles' football insight. I'm a little surprised he's not giving his beloved Patsies more of a chance. There's plenty of talking heads that are giving the Pats a fighting chance. I'm wondering if he's stonewalling this group a little bit? Not sure if I remember the...

I laughed so hard at this it I'm thinking it should have gone into the Humor forum.

Doesn't bother me a bit seeing some of the traditionally-strong programs getting beat in the playoffs. I'm already hearing a lot of complaints on how things turned out so far. You're never going to make everyone happy. The best you can hope for is to please the majority. I am amazed at the...

I laughed when the announcer said, "so you're saying there's a chance".

I personally liked the no bait, no fishing from boats regulations. It's been a minute since I have fished over there. I need to see if any of the old regulations that I liked are still in effect. It might encourage me to cross the pass and drive around the sound again.

I go back and forth with thoughts on how the playoff schedule is determined but mostly I feel the committee selects as it meets their agenda, throwing consistency out the window. Expanding from a 4-team playoff to 12 was supposed to eliminate all the belly aching but if anything, it seems to...

As someone who spends a third of his full-time work restoring freshwater habitat for salmon and steelhead, I appreciate this remark. Conversely, as someone who spends a lot of time talking about safety at work and who formerly frequently discussed the merits and capabilities of running rafts and...

Still trying to decipher if that is a sarcastic comment or one of a little respect? :D

Thank you. Since you (and Smalma) mentioned mixed stock fishery and I mentioned artificial spawning beaches for sockeye, I am glad to see they are using fish wheels in the Skeena but I'd rather see them discontinue the monoculture of sockeye in the Babine and let stocks rebuild on their own...

Does anyone know off the top of their head if the Baker spawning beaches/ponds are being used for fry production? If not, I'll do some searching to find out but I did some volunteer work there a long time ago as part of my Skagit Valley College education and am wondering if there might be...
