    Dubbing Loops

    If you don’t spin, the materials will eventually pull out. Spinning locks them into the thread. .

    Dubbing Loops

    The video above at 55 mins shows the method I’ve used for bunny. I‘ve had various spinners and like the simplicity, heft and balance of the OPST spinner. I’ve seen a few DIY versions

    NFR "The Hypocrite" TGR film about advocacy/fossil fuels/Outdoor State

    This film gets points for opening and closing with words from Naomi Oreskes. Folks interested in the idea that big oil deflects the harm imposed by their products onto consumers, while actively lobbying our government / military for the status quo, should read her work. Here is one example...

    Good hair day. Got 10 colors of kanekalon synthetic hair delivered, similar to Farrar material, a bit softer. Mixology begins.

    What's the deal with stream access in OR?

    A quick look at county tax maps shows which properties run to the river’s edge vs all way the river’s centerline. I‘d imagine that landowners who pay property taxes to the centerline of a river or all way across it would feel some ownership over the river bottom. I have no idea whether these...

    NFR Anybody want to shoot some owls....

    Getting hung on the definition(s) of invasive isn’t the point. By some formal definition(s) the barred owls are certainly invading and invasive. They were not endemic to the PNW and their continental range expansion was facilitated by continental-scale habitat modification by people, settler...

    Tierra del Fuego, Chile adventure

    I spent a lot of time in the 90s doing field research in Chile, all way down to TDF. The photos of Torres del Paine recall a night when the wind was so strong that it ripped our tent to literal shreds. Sure makes fly casting fun. It’s incredible how well salmonids have colonized...

    NFR Trucks?

    Funny how shapes and fit differ. I’m 6’5” and the legroom seems just right - maxed out. I drive Ford and Chevy trucks at work and have to move the seat up just a hair.

    NFR Trucks?

    Are there other data-driven, long term reliability reports? Do you know others? I’m interested. Not JD Powers 1 yr stuff.

    Consumer reports ranks the last model Tundra (2007-2021) as the most reliable full sized truck of that era

    Worst case of blue-green algae I've seen on a western WA lake 11/30/2023

    Yes, it’s possible, the toxins can be present in small wadable streams. Possible but impossible to say without testing. Presence of the candidate blue-green algae does not necessarily mean they’re producing toxins. However, to appreciate the potential reach of the issue, there’s even a report...

    Worst case of blue-green algae I've seen on a western WA lake 11/30/2023

    Seems plausible, most golf courses are fertilized to the hilt. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S030147971931535X

    Worst case of blue-green algae I've seen on a western WA lake 11/30/2023

    Few folks consider that fish stocking can be a large nutrient/phosphorus input to lakes, in some cases larger than shoreline development. Hatchery fish are fed a nutrient-rich diet and they excrete that stuff into lakes where they’re stocked. Uncaught fish decompose and release nutrients into...

    Worst case of blue-green algae I've seen on a western WA lake 11/30/2023

    I got my Master’s degree studying lakes in western WA, including a few on Fidalgo Island. Short story is that many lakes in western WA are very shallow, which keeps them in a perpetually eutrophic state. Nutrients and blue-green algae (in a resting state) get stored in the sediments and...

    2024 WA Coastal Steelhead Regs

    The runs are depressed - if one believes the data. It sounds like you don’t think the data are good enough to drive policy decisions, of which ESA listing is the big one. NOAA seems to think the data are good enough to consider ESA listing. If not using data - even if imperfect data - then...

    Non-Fly Jig Twitching - What you all doin!?

    True, it’s been a couple of posts since someone mentioned their favorite spinning rod or 1/2 oz jig, but don’t tune out just yet. Remember, it was fly guys who brought you beads and spawned an entire sub-industry of dirt-baggery. They might know a thing or two.

    2024 WA Coastal Steelhead Regs

    Yes, the data are imperfect. By criticizing the denominator - run size - are you saying that the reported decline and depleted status of OP steelhead is bunk? Further, if those data are suspect, how could one ever prove that angling has no impact? Sh!tty data cuts both ways. Just depends if...
