Happy 70th birthday. That Chevy hotrod looks incredible, the paint job is perfect. Enjoy the long weekend and your pumpkin chiffon pie.

Put the leech on top and hang the midge off the back. The heavier fly acts as an anchor to get everything down in the water column quickly. I always tie the dropper right to the bend of the top hook.

This discussion is a bit old, but the topic of charitable bequests when you don't have direct heirs is something more people should plan for. For the real estate portion, large land trusts like Forterra or the Nisqually Land Trust have deep roots in the Puget Sound area and routinely handle...

You know you're deep in the game when you’re debating raft tube diameters and folded dimensions like it’s a NASA payload spec sheet. Respect.

If you like subtle feel and tight contact, midge tip’s a game changer.

Touron Season opener and the bison are already on the scoreboard—Florida Man delivers again. Nature is healing.

Definitely worth getting it checked out by an ortho. Sometimes what feels like a rotator cuff issue is actually something like impingement or rotator cuff arthropathy. That was the case for me, no dramatic injury, just years of wear. I delayed surgery way too long, thinking PT would be enough...

Haha, yes, it’s all part of the game. Smallies can definitely put up a good fight, though! Keep at it, that 40” musky will come when you least expect it.

Might dig around and bring a few extra rods and some random fly-tying stuff. Interested in knives too if anything cool shows up.

This whole PFAS issue really is staggering, especially how widespread the contamination is, from outerwear to AFBs and even neighborhoods sitting on toxic plumes. For anyone who’s been exposed and is wondering what’s happening on the legal side of things, there’s a breakdown of current...

If there’s any specific gear that stands out, I’d keep my eyes peeled too.

It’s been growing a lot! I’ve noticed more and more schools getting involved, and honestly, it’s been really cool to see. The level of talent is definitely picking up, and it’s just nice to see more opportunities for girls in the sport.

I’m on a different carrier, and they don’t have a great international plan, so I’m leaning towards an eSIM for more convenience. Appreciate the input though, might try using Wi-Fi when I can and see how it goes.

Sorry to revive this thread, but I’m planning a family trip to Costa Rica in April and wanted to ask if it’s worth relying on a local SIM card. I’m usually skeptical about local SIMs, and I’m thinking that an eSIM might be more convenient. I found this eSIM for Costa Rica that seems pretty good...
