hmmm. I'm up in Kamloops now and had no problem with the new system; purchased an 8 day license on-line with my laptop. Yes, the old 'Angler ID' will not work anymore. They have combined their fishing licenses with the previously existing hunting license system called "WILD". But, in order...

I have a 2024 TRD Offroad Tacoma Gen 4. I drive under 70 on the hwy and am averaging 14 mpg. You do need to make some upgrades to a Taco to handle the weight. The upgrades I have made are E-rated tires (Toyo Open Country M/T) and replaced the suspension bump stops with Timbren SES Suspension...

I have a Kimbo. LOVE IT. Built like a tank. Only 1000 lbs. Mine is loaded ...200 watt solar, excellent Bluetti Lithium battery; Dickinson Marine propane heater, 30 lb propane tank, Fridge, etc. But, you can just get the shell if you want to do a custom build out yourself. Made in Bellingham...

I have never fished out of one, but they are damn beautiful from the pics I have seen. I was looking for a new pram for BC fishing and wanted something wooden and a bit lighter than my current pram (a Koeffler whitewater pram). I stumbled upon Terry's prams just doing internet searching while I...

Last fall I upgraded to a Dakota Lithium 135AH powerbox. https://dakotalithium.com/product/powerbox-135-waterproof-solar-generator-12v-135ah-dl-1000cca-battery-included/ I wanted it for my 10 ft Koffler Pram to go for many days remote at BC lakes where I didn't have electric hookup. It runs my...

Thank You @headduck The Arima looks nice and is similar to the 1850 Stabi I was looking at initially. Unfortunately, due to a few reasons, that's more boat than I can handle right now (i.e., the Arima Sea Ranger and Chaser are 19'). We really like to travel and camp at different fishing...

Hello All. I’m looking to buy my first “real” boat. I currently own a 10 ft Koeffler whitewater pram. It is an excellent boat for fishing lakes and I spend many weeks up in BC in the summer using it. But I’d really like to get out on Puget Sound, Hood Canal, San Juan Islands, Vancouver...

I spend a lot of time in BC in the summer and I always have 2 rods rigged up with: 1) a Ruby Eyed Leech and 2) an ice cone chronomid black body red rib. I start with these patterns and vary the sizes based on the lake and weather and the hatches I see. If these patterns don't work I switch to a...

Ha!. I have all of Doug's and Dave Shoretts guide books and used them often and wrote trip reports in the legends. I went to Mildred lakes in the OP way back in the late 90s after reading the books. Dragged my wife up there with the dogs. It was a brutal climb and it was early July and the...

Hey folks. Sorry if this has already been posted. I stumbled upon this info on the FlyBC site. You can replace your Minn Kota prop with an RC airplane prop. And this guy on a youtube video measured Amps and speed and shows it to be way more efficient and faster...in a pseudo scientific test...

Very Nice. Can you follow up with a video of you tying that Pig Caddis fly? Very Stimulator-like, and I could probably get close, but would love to see your take on it. Would be a great Montana fly for hopper season ...when they have seen too many hopper flies.

Hello Folks, Does anyone have experience with Legacy Lodge: https://www.legacylodge.com/ My wife wants to experience the Great Bear Rainforest and see bears and whales. And we both would love to C&R a bunch of Coho in calm waters. My wife gets seasick so calmer waters are preferred...

I have some good experience here. I have one...the same one in Bryans first pic. I go to BC a lot to fish and saw them often up there. I researched places in the US to get it and Eide came up; this was about 5 years ago. I ordered one from them and had to do the install myself. A major...

Thank You Kmudgn. I'm tying up some Unsinkableetles for my Montana trip in Sept. I usually fish stimulators or hopalators exclusively but sinking in the fast narrow streams i go to can be annoying. This is the recipe I found:
