We had $1 Rolling Rock and$0.1 chicken wings at our ocal College bar, but that was about 30 years ago...however, Rolling Rock sells up here for something like $25 / 18 pack here and there, so maybe there is hope? It still gives me hiccups though.

I'm with iveofione, looks like inclusions in something igneous. However, I crave dungeness and IPA after a closer look.

Thanks Freestone, that is what I recall from a few summers ago when the family took a trip there...I was actually a little embarrassed after rigging up my kid's and my rod, tromping down to the Wenatchee, and reading the regs as we sat on the bank. But, any chance to thrash around (legally of...

I am heading to Wenatchee week of 3/14 for work - aside from Rocky Ford, are there any local streams / rivers this time of year good for casual mid-late afternoon bank fishing? I've only managed to find one of my wading boots, so ideally I'd like to keep any wading to maybe knee deep...

I got one for my dad (upper 70's), and he carries it often. Sounds like it has been great for steadying himself and handy when getting off the ground on those planned and unexpected occasions, if you know what I mean. It is super handy to just hang off a belt for those just-in-case moments!

Like a natural trap for us soft humans! I learned the hard way - bird hunting with a buddy, and we cam across a huge blackberry field in a high tension line clearimg. There was a narrow trail that didn't look too threatening. My friend sighed and said we need to go around. I laughed, plowed...

Another very good point! Stepping off my moral high horse, dealing with local regs cutting so much slack would be much more of a headache.

It may have been mentioned already, but it is scary how the suburban mentality hits rural areas. It is painful enough seeing prices within a 30-40 mile radius of Seattle skyrocket, but seeing homes in places like Three Forks going up but 500% is upsetting. My folks, an hour's drive from Bozeman...

I've been doing the paraffin and naphtha home brew, with a first treatment at the bench. It gives them a while to air out.

It's also good to see I am not just wimping out, but am now kind of motivated to give the tinies a try again!

I am envious - guess it is karma coming back to me after poking fun at my old man squinting and holding the flies up to a sky background, and here I am, lost without glasses. I still fish my bamboo every now and then, but during the pandemic have developed a surplus of rods that I need to try...

@Zak , 14-16 seems to be my "small" threshold lately too.. But, that is casual mid-late summer flailing, mainly on a suburban river here.. I have not bothered to go smaller, but wonder if I am missing out. @RCF, Makes perfect sense! My old man says the same about muddlers.

I'll preface by saying I've taken about a 20 year break from "serious" fishing but am getting back in the swing (gaged by being able to count fishing trips per year vs. the old days of counting weekends that did not involve fishing). However, compared to the old days, I spend less time on the...

I revisited the album recently; 1987 was a good year. I've used to get this stuck in my head at a particularly scary wading crossing long ago. It was about 6.5 minutes of jaw clinching tension followed by so much relief (and a really nice bar that seemed to stretch on for ever).
