This rig sounds so badass.

Ok I can admit I really enjoy watching the Big Bear eagle nest cam. Find it relaxing and the birds are amazing. Anybody else? https://www.friendsofbigbearvalley.org/ Among other things, the eagles catch trout with regularity. A week or two ago the male caught a delicious coot and they...

Seeking some input from folks who have experience using lots of different 6 weight floating general purpose lines, with bonus points if you have used them with a Scott Centric. What floating line do you like that is not in the “uplined” MPX/Rio Grand zone? Context: seeking a new floating line...

Years ago my wife convinced me that our cat needed a bath (!?!), and that I had to make it happen. We had an enclosed shower and I thought “I have a brilliant idea - we don’t have a bathtub, so instead I will just bring the cat into the shower with me.” Terrible, terrible idea. Kids - don’t try...

It actually did turn out fatal (for the cougar) but yes - glad it didn’t turn out fatal for any of the cyclists

Thanks for reminding me! Stand by will respond this eve

Ok I admit I’m kind of rooting for the Bills next year. Small market team, have never won a Super Bowl, Josh seems like a nice guy. Fans seem really loyal. I am not from NY and have never lived there; aside from liking buffaloes (the animal) no obv points of connection with Buffalo but...

Thanks all for the kind words.

Thanks all for the kind words.

I lost my favorite Aunt earlier today and it has me reeling a bit, though I knew it was coming. I’m posting this stream-of-consciousness as a way for me to celebrate her and to start processing her death. Oof. Aunt S was funny, beautiful, smart, successful, had class for days, was an amazing...

Updating. I have never sold a bike before, but my best guess on my desired trade value is…. Somewhere between $70-$100?

I have an Orvis H2 with saltwater butt in my stash somewhere. Includes tube, sock. Maybe…. $150?

I have more bikes than I know what to do with. Anyone interested in engineering some form of trade? Stuff I might be interested in includes but isn’t limited to… >A 7 wt? A 7 wt reel/line? >float tube w/fins? >whole bunch of flies >willingness to take me fishing for SRCs (want to improve my...

Reupped. Easy peasy.

I found these - didn’t tie. I keep meaning to learn to tie poppers, but have never done so. One cool thing about the pattern is the weighting. It lands hook side up every time and the profile looks really froggy. They are also very durable

I have had some success with this pattern. I have debated whether to snip off the weed guard. I had a few strikes this summer where I couldn’t determine if it was poor hook set, the bass just missed, or the weed guards were a blocker but the result was a miss or a poor hookup. I chuck it in the...

Ollie’s hasn’t been as good for the past years after the estuary got kind of messed up, but yes - we hit it for a session on one of the days. We also surfed Witch’s and some other reefs in that general area. Wind was offshore - howling at times - all day for every day, but plenty of swell in the...

I just returned from a surf trip to Costa Rica/Southern Nicaragua, chasing a really solid southern hemisphere swell. Size + power. Spending all day in the water, few things better than climbing into the boat after the last surf of the day, reaching into the cooler and pulling an ice cold...

My wife and I lived in Napili some years back so spent a lot of time in Lahaina. Such a sad loss of life and many Lahaina landmark buildings.
