    Public Access (NY Times)

    This is also what is interesting to me. Take Colorado, for example, where making contact with the river bottom on private land is trespassing (i.e. landowners own the river bottom). However, you can float through private property as long as you don't contact the river bottom (i.e. on navigable...

    Skeena 2022?

    May be misunderstanding your statement, but DFO authorized numerous days of netting (gill net and seine) in the Skeena entry this year. About two solid weeks straight in late July and early August at the peak of steelhead migration window due to the sockeye run being a week or two late. They...

    Simms Bought for $192 Million

    Far Bank is a tad different since it's owned by the Joshua Green Corporation, which is basically a private equity firm based in Seattle but they seem to be less interested in dumping their businesses after a few years than most PE firms. I think Joshua Green Corp has owned Sage since the early...

    Simms Bought for $192 Million

    They rejected my generous offer of $169,999,999.99. Real question to me is how long before Vista shareholders file a petition to have management study the feasibility of moving all wader production offshore to maximize shareholder value of the acquisition?

    Bozeman launches new high end apparel company

    Just seems like a goofy genesis story and a lousy way to come into the market in my opinion. We've seen this story before...reference Cloudveil 2007-2010. Brand steps into high end side of the fly fishing apparel market with a seemingly decent product line and established outdoor industry...

    Bozeman launches new high end apparel company

    All the existing stock has been sent out to hardcore Instagram influencers (but only the ones that are in the secret society of anglers that know of our little olive colored friend the Skwala). At this point, how more more cliche can you be...high end fly fishing brand launches in Bozeman...

    NFR How's the housing market where you live?

    My two cents...we are seeing a "blow off top" and the final group of FOMO buyers thinking they have to get in now or never at ultra low interest rates and eek out the monthly payment that is "less" than local rents (never accounting for maintenance, cost of time lost on maintenance/upgrades/yard...

    WDFW 2022 Fishing Regulations Cover Photo

    I'd like to submit this photo I found online for consideration as the WDFW 2022 Fishing Regulations Cover photo...nothing like roping fresh 20 pound wild chromers and getting a classy photo all while totally following regulations to a 'T'! I believe they call this the "money shot".

    So why did we switch exactly…?

    As a VerticalScope investor I must say I'm impressed with this new forum community. Prepare for acquisition!
