I have resisted posting about Jim’s passing. Evan had it right, ‘Forum Legend‘. What do you say? I’ll miss Old Man’s down to earth, direct posts. There are no comparisons, only Old Man can be Old Man. Rest in peace Jim. Go fishing. The rest of us will carry on from here. If you need flies I...

To many people. All wanting a piece. Soon, it all will be gone. Blame whoever you want, in the end Pogo was right; “We have met the enemy and he is us.”

Has Kelenic arrived…finally?

I’ll bet there is more than one of those on the stilly.

Son, I have lived through everything you are going to go through and hopefully a lot of shit you won’t have to go through. May the force be with you…

Steelhead aren’t spooky. I love the internet. Anyone can be important in their own mind at any time

I have hooked a bunch of steelhead right after a sled has gone by. Steelhead aren’t that spooky. If anything they get agitated by shit and strike.

Some tweaks make sense, some don’t.

Pitch clock doesn’t bother me much. I think it could be tweaked a little. No shift is what it is. I think the game would have adjusted for the shift eventually. Bigger bases makes sense and if it lessens injuries bigger bases are a good thing. Holding base runners is a part of the game. The new...

I just ordered a half dozen. One for each boat.

Earl Weaver preached his prescription for winning: “pitching and three-run homers.”

Perhaps your memory is a bit hazy from all the smoke. You asked if I would mind if you smoked. I respected you for that which led to my comment about having an advantage over people under the influence. Yes, 2009 was a bad year. Most people that spent time on the river and an understanding of...

Do you remember going fishing with me? I won’t go into detail but if you remember the day then you might remember me saying that when people drink or use drugs it translates to less competition to me so I really didn’t care if they drank or use Likely that day I was referring to those on the...

Congratulations. 36 years here.

There are places that you can fish from the bank. Several WDFW accesses, a couple of parks, and places where roads are close to the river. Be careful scrambling up over dikes to get to the river. Most of the dikes are owned by dike districts and most limit public access. Almost all of the...

Here is what I was told a number of years ago. I can’t verify the story. The old guy that owned the place made some sort of agreement with the state game department. He gave the department the sliver of land to be used for public access and agreed to allow public fishing. Not sure by who, what...

The public has access to the lake via a sliver of land owned by the Dept. of Game (according to county land records). The rest of the land around the lake and the lake itself is privately owned.

I wouldn’t think so. The guy that used to own it would rent space for campers, motor homes, travel trailers, etc. I would think a single purpose club would be better. The Department of Game owns or has some sort of long term lease on the launch area. I think they should buy it.

I don’t think a bow and arrow is allowable tackle. Hook and line only.
