Consider Cascade Lake in Moran State Park (on Orcas Island). Nice campground(s), really pretty lake with piles of fish. My daughter and I kayaked and SUPed in it last year. Added bonus - Orcas has some little towns with food, some shopping etc in case that is of interest to the family….

What kind of patterns can we chuck that will roughly approximate a crank bait the gear fishing folks use? Asking for a friend……having thrown everything in box at bass in certain situations and struggled to get interest when the gear+crank bait still seems to work…

Always feels a bit weird to “like” a post in which someone has some misfortune. That said, in this case it sounds as if you came out only slightly wet and worse for wear so 👍

I have recently put Yokohama Geolandars on my Tacoma TRD Off-road. So far so good

In honor of the arrival of fall last week, I managed to make my way out for a bit. I rarely take photos of fish and when I do I do it poorly. Couple of the fish were so pretty that I believe they transcended my incompetence. I love fall! Ok I cheated on one - one pic is a Calder from the...

I’m sorry but I couldn’t finish that article, as I was busy manifesting good science by tanning my testicles to max out my T levels. It would be nuts to complicate this simply brilliant junk-bronzing approach. Chestnuts roasting, on an open fire….. Science aside though, we recently had a bat...

I just spent a few days on a Cascade Lake/Moran family camping trip - returned from Orcas yesterday. So many LMBs (predominantly very small) that is quickly got to a point where it was just silly. Unfortunately it seems bass have taken over the lake over the past X years. They plant trout...

Ah yes the whitefish..aka…. Billy Blanco…..the trumpet-nosed trout…….they don’t get much respect but they are native to many drainages in the West/NW

Any older ~1990s Outrages for sale somewhere?…

I’m glad you are using and enjoying it @Buzzy !

Find the Scott Sector 8’4” 8 wt and cast it. Might be worth a look. I have not cast that model, but holy moly the 9’7 wt, the 9’8 and the 9’9 are really nice. Outside of that if you want to consider used rods, (mine is def not for sale but if you can find one) I have a 7’11” Sage Bass II...

@clarkman for your Rx, are you doing the bifocal style sunglasses or the progressive style? About a year ago I suddenly found myself needing reading glasses (thanks pandemic for leaving me in my basement work office staring at monitors all day every day for a few years). I currently don’t have...

Hi @Rob Allen thanks for sharing your .02; If you don’t mind, I want to better understand your perspective. You indicated that it is none of your business if your neighbor were to do something on or to their property that had a negative impact on yours. Most folks with libertarian leanings...

We got these BIG jellyfish comin in

Will send a pm.

Bumping to the top because these dogs make me happy. I do not have a dog at present but Gary’s reputation makes him my first call if/when.

Ah crap he went to Raiders instead. Oh well.

Kind of hope the TE from Georgia falls to SEA…..waiting……

Yep I’m a USAA fan. Homes and autos over the years have also been with USAA. Even there, unfortunately, policy costs for auto and home are going up pretty substantially. When I called to discuss (“ been with you for decades and outside of some windshield replacements not a single claim….why...

Finally got to the beach and had to wrestle the boat and everything else back to my truck in howling winds. My shoulders are smoked from the gym, the paddle, and then wrangling an 11’ boat over my head and carrying it through a windstorm while also carrying an anchor, seat, paddle, fly rod, and...
