Yeah good luck to the Habs, although they appear to be the least likely team still standing to hoist the cup this year, I will be rooting for them, fb

Yeah, it's halibut/ling/chinook time, time to fish for keeps again, fb

I have the exact same feeling. I mean, I like our guys, they are likeable people, and a bunch of solid NHL players, but no gamebreakers. When they are skating and on their toes, they are extremely competitive. But they don't skate consistently, and the flip side is they can truly be one of...

The way the regs have evolved, it appears I may have caught my last April steelhead, as everything is shuttered now. But it was a good season! fb

Seems like a solid steelhead run, hopefully good spring steelhead escapement, I didn't hamper their journey terribly, but did get to pull on a bunch of fish. More multi-fish days than solo's and skunks, by a good margin. Middle part of the run had some very high quality specimens. Angler...

And Jon Cooper, class act in the post-game presser, as usual. Glad the US doesn't have to ever play that team in best of 7, that's for sure, fb

Oh, it's explicable, he grew up in Michigan bass fishin! As did I, but while I graduated to western salmonids, he shot the moon, cementing himself as the greatest American goalie of all time! He's got the stats, he's got the MVP awards, he's got the Vezina's. . .and now he has the iconic...

Hockey!!! Best hockey tournament there is, and it is a rarity and a treat to get to see best on best (men's). For the women's, just give the US the gold, they are the best women's hockey team to ever step on the ice, Canada couldn't even make a dent on the forecheck. For the men, hold onto...

Phwew!

Oh, and yeah I think a subpopulation of fly fishers is definitely elitist. . .but some are cool and reasonable too, just like pluggers, bait-soakers, spin-fishers, metalheads, plunkers, worm-danglers, etc. But not side-drifters or bobber-doggers. . .they can truly suckit, fb

My favorite elitists are the steelhead fly fishers who clog up runs and don't move your feet. It didn't eat it on the first or the twentieth shitty cast to that exact spot, and it's not gonna eat it on the fiftieth cast either. Move your feet and let somebody else follow you through you...

Kraken with a good win last night, Jets are an actual bunch of real professional hockey players. We win when we play low-event hockey, sometimes looks boring, but I like a good dumper in the corners and go muck it up, fish it out and cycle it. It's when we try to play rush hockey in a track...

Weird to happen in high water, the sketchy spots are a lot easier in high water. I wonder what happened. fb
