Stoked (!) to see this pin and the rest of your quiver. Legit. Yes - Cloudbreak. I first went in ‘96 while still a student. A bunch of my friends go every year. I usually can’t make it but once in a while I manage to tag along. Jon Roseman is a friend of a friend. Tough these days as my...

Pyzel pintail - for those days when making the drop is (really) important

@Mossback I wonder if the real Q is “Are there any Cards fans anywhere?”. A = ? Larry Fitzgerald was such an awesome player and seems like a high quality human being. I always felt a little sorry for him…playing an entire career for a team that was largely irrelevant and had a negligible fan...

Agree - we are all in this together. There are only two things I can't stand in this world: People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.

Summer construction delays - ugh. Arlee area won’t impact me unless I want to do a side trip though; I will probably jump on the 200 in St Regis and then cut over to the 28 near Plains. My parents house is on the lake a bit east of Dayton but west of Rollins, so the 28 is nice - if not on fire -...

I’m driving out to Flathead Thursday to check on my folks and sit in the lake. The forecast looks warm, but not scorching. I’m just crossing fingers that the fire season doesn’t flare up too much. The scotch I buy for the old man will be the only liquid I have in the Landcruiser with which to...

That is the inflator I use. I like it. Also doubles as a handy inflator for my truck tires if I need to deflate them for off-road, then reinflate.

Ok folks - how about catnip? Keeps the skeeters away, and might attract a friendly interaction with a mountain lion or bobcat: https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2026/jul/07/catnip-lotion-as-effective-as-deet-at-repelling-mosquitoes-study-finds

Few others off top of head… I prefer the book to the movie in all of these but: -The Road (ok depressing as hell but still) -River Runs Through It -Sometimes a Great Notion Couple more: -Road to Perdition -Father of the Bride -Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Oh I know this one - carp :) (At least that’s how I feel most of time time when targeting them with flies)

Could just be the photo, but the tail looks odd. FWIW def looks like a sturgeon at a glance though.

I have a 2 piece Z Axis 9’0 5 wt that I reach for a lot.

caught this guy and 30 or so of his buddies yesterday on Lake WA. Topwater was kind of slow (I didn’t get on lake until 11:30 or so) but the hungered for my bluegill special (small bugger with chartreuse body). One of those days where I caught a fish on my first cast….then it just kept going...

I just bought one for someone as a wedding gift (the couple that casts together lasts together you dig?). Might be out of stock but at least as of last month not discontinued
