I just went into my closet and pulled out a Cortland fiberglass rod with that same translucent color. The rod case also has the same color!! If I remember right this was my first "serious" fly rod. I bought it from these guys for $35.... In Walnut Creek during the early 1970s, the renowned...

I was trying to find a direct quote from Patrick Gass from the Lewis and Clark Expedition. I couldn't get AI-Gemini to write out the quote. It did, however, give me two slightly different interpretations of what Gass wrote in his book. I think Gemini found the direct quote offensive, so it...

You CANNOT shame a bad driver in Grant County. Normal driving in Grant County is considered reckless and dangerous in most other counties. Neighboring counties to Grant County share their same joy in driving. Grant County comes in FOURTH in fatalities per 100,000 over the last ten years...

I use a Jackery 300 with a 100 watt solar panel. Here it is with a 40 watt panel...

East of the Cascades everybody I know runs their pontoon boat on the racks on their trucks. With my one-ton truck I need to carry a ladder to fasten it to the rack on the canopy. I use heavy duty straps, and BY-PASS the tie-down hooks by using a carabiner to tie the two closed loops together...

As an immigrant I can answer that question. When I took my citizenship exam at 19 I was pretty blase about the whole event having lived in the US since I was six. At the end of the citizenship ceremony we took the oath of citizenship and I thought I was going to swear allegiance to the United...

Not in the towns we were traveling through....and in those areas where available only during business hours. Once you know the "tricks of the trade" it should go smoothly. Congrats on being a "fellow Alien".

I tried to tag onto the previous thread, but could not find it. You register with the BC Provincial Government as step one. That was fine, except when it asked me what I wanted to do "buying a freshwater fishing license" is a incorrect answer. The correct answer is WILD (WILD). Pretty...

Its BOR not BLM. BLM gets blamed for everthing!! I remember the repairs on the dam. I think, that Dry Falls was drying up before then. But you might be right. It wouldn't take much water from Banks to refill Dry Falls. Is there anyway to do that??

Nah, it when all to hell in the west when the horses showed up.

75. I can't remember the first time I fished Dry Falls. I moved to Wenatchee from Colville in 1985. I did start fishing it more when my fishing buddy decided it was his GO TO LAKE. I ended up fishing it more with him. I guess that was probably in the 1990's. I enjoyed fishing it, but it...

I am not a fan of "back in the day". As a forester, much more interested in then and now comparison. The quality of the natural environment has gone downhill significantly in the past 30 years, particularly the fishing. I fished more lakes when I was working. Most of my fishing trips were...

Actually, those were the days of the timber program on public lands. So the roads were in good shape. They were not closed ten miles from the nearest lake like today. Particularly living in Idaho in the 70's you could drive within a couple of miles of not one but several alpine lakes and...

I had great fun fishing for triploids in lots of eastern Washington lakes. Here is AI's answer: You said: Selective fishery lakes why are they no longer stocked with triploids? WDFW still stocks select quality and selective-gear lakes with triploids, but the department has significantly...

Pretty sure it was NOT due to the triploid stocking. See next reply The drop in water levels dried out the "pond" next to the deep water. Once the "cafeteria" closed, the fishing started going downhill. Awesome is definitely defined by ones age. I never thought Dry Falls to be "awesome", it...

I really tried to like soccer. My father told me stories of being a soccer fanatic in Germany during the war. To please him I tried, really tried to watch soccer. I even went to a Oakland Clippers professional soccer match in person....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oakland_Clippers. One of...

REALLY?? I didn't immigrate to America to watch soccer. At least the baseball season goes on. I cannot believe that civilized societies allow soccer as a game for humans under the age of 12.

that makes sense...thanks. I feel better now.

What do you mean there is "no deeper meaning here". All that tax money I sent to UW for Art History classes and all I get back is "no deeper meaning here" !!!!!!

Can someone with a Art History degree explain this picture to me.
