    Skagit, or sorta' Skagit head

    I'm a self taught intuitive guy. My learning conditions have always been on the river where the environment is so dynamic that the concept of casting with muscle memory, like grooving a golf stroke, is foreign to me. Question about blowing anchors with shorter head...why not just cant your...

    Skagit, or sorta' Skagit head

    I could be wrong but 450 gr is about a 7wt spey and 15ft tip seems too long that's why it won't cast. Tips should be 10 footers. You need more like 575gr 14ft 8wt rod to move a 15ft tip. A rage is a hybrid head. A skagit head will move more mass than the rage.

    SFR A decision has been made-big move coming

    3% is like free money. I would not sell but rent the house let another pay down the mortgage. Treat nurse school and an apartment there like sending your kid to college. It's a few years and goes by quick.

    Jumping into Intruder Shanks

    Love to see innovation. As inventor of the Alaskan shank can you explain what the tying variations are relative to the standard waddington shank. Does the Alaskan have a straight hook eye or is it bent? I'm already scratching my head as to how a hook is attached to an Alaskan or is the...

    Starlink User Opinions

    That's a lot of debris to navigate to avoid collisions especially with launched vehicles. Others want to put their stuff in low earth orbit to compete with starlink or other countries not wanting to get shut out. What will the space junk field look like in 10 years?

    If I Had a Life Do Over

    Those pilots are about 100ft. off the tree tops too making the drop. That's why those idiots flying looky loo drones should be in jail for a very long time. Drone idiots interfere with current PNW fire response

    LOL! A racing buddy and I buy new parts for our racecars and we ask each other...."How many pairs of shoes is that going to cost you?"

    The PNW is Lit

    In the US 85% of wild fires are started by dumb humans while only 50% of Canadians are as dumb.
