    What's the deal with stream access in OR?

    Maybe I'm a basic peasant (i am), but I'd be the last person to own a water front home. Just out of the concept of it. It's feels like littering, just trash among nature. Sorry, not sorry. I'd happily give up my rights to ever own water front to have everyone else's gone too (in concept, if we...

    What's in your vise?

    Calmest forum I've been on. It was a dumpster fire on every other forum I was on during covid. Seen many vibrant forums for gardening and such become a skeleton of their former selves since the virus escaped. They haven't recovered.

    Freestyle rendition of a stonefly. Saw partridge used in this method on a different pattern, so figured why not do it over and over. Also used flash under scud back for the casing to give a little interest. Pretty happy how it turned out After resin on casing Before resin

    HB 6294.....attempting to ban fur sales

    I was a page in Olympia when I was a kid. So go to walk through the house of reps during session. Saw alot of games on lap tops being played. Ages of empire was a crowd favorite. Guess I'd rather them play video games I guess than tinker with bathroom laws, fur bans and gun safety measures...

    Spokane River Streamflow Week of Jan. 29, 2024?

    This is my typical fishing report on the spokane. Skunk central. There are some decent fish in there, but slow going for me usually. Nymphs aren't my strong suite. Nor are "larger" rivers. Next state over (Oregon obviously lol) I seem to do alot better. Really hoping to get out there for a...

    Thank you. I'll take a look into these. Great, more dead animal items to add to the collection. Wife thinks I'm a maniac (which is true lol)

    My only real concern is visibility. I think it should be enough white to see, but cutting it close. Seems it'll float properly though.

    What's in your vise?

    Agreed. It was a terrible experience lol. Thread slippage over and over, just to have what was a healthy clump of hair turn to a toothpick. I like the concept of all natural items, but for parachutes think I'll stick with synthetic also. Figured the white dots from guinea would sort of mimic...

    Spokane River Streamflow Week of Jan. 29, 2024?

    I think it's doable. You'll be able to access the river fine. Just watch out for any stray snow or ice, I have some still a little ways out of town. But its warm now. I told the wife today I wanted to break my drought this weekend. Guage map seems to be in line with late June flows. There...

    What's in your vise?

    I'm actually kinda stoked on this fly. It gave me fits but still turned out. Cdc tail and post. Olive stripped quill body Green dubbing Small grizzly hackle Didn't wrap the post with thread, just gently wrapped hackle. Quill cracked on me early, so had to use a touch more dubbing. But...

    NFR NFL 2023 Season

    I was all for chiefs winning a SB or two. Don't really have anything against them. Was happy to see Andy Reid get his. And obviously Mahomes is out of this world. But...It gets a little old watching them win it over and over haha. That's the only reason on my end

    NFR NFL 2023 Season

    I had one of these in the past also. A basilisk and a Chinese water dragon. They got along great. Chinese water dragon was personable, would hang out and sit on your shoulder. Basilisk was a maniac. Super fast. Cleaning the cage was always an adventure. Sonic the hedgehog type wreckage...

    Tropical freshwater

    Yes, tarpon or snook is the goal. Back up plan is I'll be on lake Arenal for a few days, I'm sure I can sneak sway from the wife to go after some rainbow bass (large cichlid). Assuming that would be poppers and such also. I'm not sure in piranha. We were basically jigging with chicken meat...
