Selling my single person framed 8ft raft built by Catchercraft. It includes Cataract oars. I really like this boat. Listing it for sale because I'm moving, and the new place doesn't have enough storage. I also don't get to use it as much as the friends I used to shuttle and fish with don't fish...

Today driving out hunting in the dark we came across some logs that were obviously put in place by a human to block the a pretty popular forest service road, we could tell because one was cut with a saw. They were big enough to not be able to drive over or around, but easily moved by hand. There...

Chums were going for $0.40/lb in Sitka early August, I've got no clue what the price is now, but a lot of the trollers just quit fishing due to price.

EDIT - Spoken for. If their not picked up next week I'll delete this edit. Free Simms wading boots, rubber sole, size 9. They are well used but still functional. They are a bit too small for me. Pickup in Seattle (Madison Valley). PM for my address, they'll be on the porch.

Thankfully I've already got a few - but it was a pretty bird!

Saw this guy today on the drive in. I didn't know they were putting a release site next to the dog park ;)

I really enjoy shooting a lot more with the suppressor on, but in hindsight I do wish I went with a lighter direct thread can first as my main use case is hunting and target shooting with bolt action rifles. I used silencer...

Loser over here as well

Fished with Old Moe & Spinner Fall two years ago with Hank Boem and another guide whose name I forgot. Both were great, and we caught a ton of big fish on hoppers (July). I liked the B-section float a lot better than the A-section, even thought the A-section is arguably prettier, there is a...

Throw on a small spoon/spinner at the end of your leader to see how many fish you missed.

He’ll drag a duck about 10ft…. In the backyard. We’re working on it, but I don’t have much in terms of expectations. He is only a year old and has been out in the field twice. He’s not gun shy though which is a big plus.

I sometimes swing small spinners and spoons using a Spey rod. Way more effective than Spey flies, especially when there’s no steelhead and you’d just want to hook a trout or something. Better than using a spinning rod because you can toss smaller spinners that would only work with an ultralight...
