One note about the Nite-Ize version that @Zak and @Northern use is that they seem to have a fair number of "this breaks" reports about the cloth attachment loop that sticks out of the phone. Photo below is from one of the Amazon reviews. I'm generally a fan of Nite-Ize stuff, but I might skip...

This is a topic that I keep meaning to write an article or post about because I am someone who wants to have my phone with me (for safety and photos) all the time when fishing. Including in a tube/kayak/boat. I have essentially been using a setup like the YakAttack version above for a few years...

I can confirm that the $8 laundry basket will hold 20 tubes (including 4 being larger spey tubes). It doesn't look as tidy as the blueprint holder setup, because the different tubes don't line up equally in rows. But for the price, it's a pretty solid way to go. And despite my concerns about...

The "plan storage" style rack that @DimeBrite posted about might be the ticket. $35 for this one and you get a weird little storage pouch to go with it! On the other hand, the laundry basket @Herkileez posted might be even easier and is $8 at Walmart (bought one for laundry purposes last week)...

I have too many fly rods. Especially for the amount of free time I have to actually get out and fish them. So goes life. I suspect I'm not alone in this. But I also am extremely tired of having a giant messy pile of rod tubes that I can't easily access but yet are in the way all the time. Who...

I picked up a cheap no-name "Naviskin" bimini top from Amazon to put on my little Bass Tracker Classic boat. Mostly for the wife to read under if she joins me or so I can anchor up and work in the shade from a cell connection once in a while. The hardware it comes with is cheapo nylon. And while...

Lots of good stuff shared so far, thank you all! I do like that nobody mentioned farm raised steelhead or salmon (even though, as I said, the floor was open to anything). That said, I suppose I don't have as strong of feelings about farmed freshwater fish as much as I do about net-pen farmed...

That sounds awesome. Sure wish swordfish wasn't so packed with mercury. I feel weird about eating it more than once in a while.

Oh, for sure. The point of the exercise was more intended to be about the rando fish species at the store. Not the ones we know and love when they are in season. But don't get me wrong, I'm not above grabbing some fresh sockeye from a good local retailer.

Yes, yes. We all love fresh caught salmon or trout. Some of us are even crazy enough to make long runs to the coast to fill the freezer with halibut, tuna, lingcod, etc (looking in your direction, @Evan B). But what about when you want to put some fish on the table but are limited to whatever...

Love this! Very real-life trip report. Lemons, lemonade, etc. Strong work.

You and me both, friend. Great report. Beauty scenery and fish! Really hard charging to hit all of them in that timeframe. Very impressive!

Damn! That's a load of carp.

Make or buy a set of flipper keepers. The standard Outcast fins come with a set installed. Outcast also sells the keepers separately. A set of the style that bodysurfers use are even cheaper and would likely work. They are also pretty easy to make if you have some paracord, nylon webbing...

Pretty day and pretty fish. And agreed on the glasses!

Hey Josh, next time you are trying to figure out what cables you bought and then left unlabeled in the bottom of the "boat projects" storage bin, it's these 24" 8awg SAE connectors: https://amzn.to/4agvlbG

Gonna take me at LEAST that long to figure out how to cast a 15wt broomstick.

FINALLY, a rod beefy enough to cast @Billy ’s largemouth flies!

That said, it sure doesn't SEEM like those tubes are at Costco this season. At least not those in Western WA/OR.

@Old406Kid, did you end up looking into these any further? In an older thread @Sir Homey mentions that, in his opinion, the Outcast Summit is more or less a copy of the Caddis Nevada. https://pnwflyfishing.com/forum/index.php?threads/outcast-osg-summit-float-tube.6286/post-145276 No idea if...
