I can just picture a nudist retreat in Western Washington with everyone wearing sweaters, 'cause it's too damn chilly!

Can someone recount the history of Capr? My guess is that it was originally a typo that somehow made it into PNWFF dialect.

My (then) wife and I separated about 7 years ago, followed by a divorce a few years later. At the time I realized that I had to choose how I wanted to hold this seismic shift and completely reboot my life. I chose to consider it as a kick in the ass, rather than a kick in the teeth, and use...

Anyone who kite surfs or wing foils knows about rechargeable inflation pumps with a bunch of adaptors for different types of valves. If you need to inflate your pontoons every time you use the boat, if might be worthwhile looking into one. They run about $150.

There has to be a really clever response lurking around this, but in truth I got nothing.

I grew up just outside Boston, and never knew there were any cold water streams outside of the White Mountains, and those rivers weren't (as far as I knew) known for holding fish. I had heard that there were some decent trout streams in CT, but didn't believe in fly fishing then. (In retrospect...

Got any extras you'd like to sell?

Just an idea for those who like using one: I was in my local hardware store her in Hood River and saw cherry baskets on sale for about $20. I thought to myself: that looks a lot like a stripping basket without the fancy price!

Not to be too picky, but you're a professional only if you get paid for it... otherwise you're an amateur!

Wicked pissah!

Check out Engels. I saw one YouTube video in which they had a shootout of all the high-end super-insulated coolers, and it won over the Yeti. (Plus, it's cheaper than the Yeti!)

Remember the classic: "Beatings will continue until morale improves"?

You may never know you've chosen the right fishing partner, but you always know when you've chosen the wrong one. One of my nightmare scenarios is bringing someone out on a float and one of the first things they ask is: "So how long do you think we'll be out?" I fished with a work colleague...

I'm not following. How does that help moving toward and away from the bank without changing the heading or the speed relative to the current?
