I have found Sage/Farbank to be a great company to work with. So much so that I never have hesitated to buy their products because I do not have to worry about them doing the right thing if I have a problem. As for rod repairs, some other companies rods - once they stop selling the rod if...

Bump with price reduction

Why is MA 9 closed for coho fishing in October yet wild coho retention is allowed the last week of September? Also my thought is that keeping wild coho in MA9 will reduce chances of catching wild coho in the future. Is that a correct assumption? The true wild coho (not the non fin clipped...

Fly guide to washington was good back in the day. It is woefully outdated so you will have to filter thru some old info but still could be helpful.

To re tie or not to re tie- That is the question: Whether tis nobler in the mind….. But I digress. Not all wind knots are created equally. For salmon I agree with Nick it is best to use a tippet that can usually handle a wind knot. Still it is best to check a wind knot by pulling on it...

The Mariners management is CHEAP line is spot on. Per the article below (google it) the Mariners had the highest profit in the league at 82.6 million dollars in 2023. The team is valued at 2.2 billion dollars. The Mariners’ owners are cheap. But hey it’s ok to still like them and root for...

Though private fisherman pay all the licensing fees let’s face it - our fishing interferes with the native Americans rights to catch and sell the fish for a profit, the commercial fisherman’s rights to make money off the limited number of fish and because our fishing creates hassles and...

Do the Ms owners want their team to win- why of course. But will they spend the money to increase the likelihood of winning or winning the world series? NO. And why- because just as I said, the owners know their fans will enable them. Enable them to still make money because enough fans...

The mariners. Let’s face it the team really needs new owners. The owners realize all they need is a average team and they need lots of promotions and bobble head nights and they let the nice northwest weather set in and the owners are smart enough to realize the mariners fans are suckers and...

Because you have an 8 wt a lot of people will tell you to get a 6 weight and that is not bad advice. However for beach fishing I think a 7 weight is best - light enough to cast all day and can handle some wind and cast some larger flies.

So you are on a beach and it’s time to pull your starting fly. Perhaps the fly is past its cast count or it got dinged up during one of the deliveries. There is no shower nearby to relegate the fly to while the fly from the bull pen makes its entrance. Where do you store the starting fly...
