Just added a beautiful Regal Medallion Vise to the auction. Take a look and see what's left before it all ends tomorrow! Hello everyone. We are getting ready to hold our annual fundraiser for The Mayfly Project Seattle. Several of us on this forum volunteer for the organization to mentor...

I will be in scotland for a month this summer. Place your orders!!

I only fish a 6wt on the beach also. I use a gen 1 Orvis Recon all day long without fatigue. You can pick them up used for about $300. I recently bought a second one because I love it so much. Not heavy at all. Med-fast. I haven't fished the gen 2 Recon so I can't speak to those. The Clearwater...

12. No pics. Except the flies after use. Broken hook and unraveled ribs.

I am so honored to be referred to as a “diehard, reliable, skilled fishing buddy”! (I think you were referring to me). I’d have to agree that these yaks have upped my game by a long shot. I am not small, 5’8” and heavier than Northern, and I have never felt unstable in the Compass. I will say...

I love my sling packs. I have used the Patagonia stealth for years but was just gifted the orvis fishewear pack. I carry my net on my wader belt using a carabiner and the magnets. Super simple and easy to use. Doesn’t get in the way of my pack when moving it around for access.

I'm jealous. And you might need some new gloves.

I spent 6 months in Gabon in 1990. This takes me back...

Once it gets cold out I usually do wear my waders and boots in the kayak. I hate having cold, wet feet so this is what I feel is best for me. I have removed the rubber foot guides from my pedals as my feet/boots are too big. I have never used them and have no issues with pedaling. A friend...

I do not stand while in the kayak-bad knees and risk-averse! I use the standard fins and have zero issues with steering or speed. I believe you are correct in that the Compass is a more stream lined kayak when compared to the Outback. That being said, I have a ton of stuff on mine and there is...

Northern and I fish out of our Compasses quite a lot. I have never had an issue with wind making it hard to get back or maneuver. I haven't fished out of an Outback or Revo. You might consider taking a trip with Gig Harbor Fly Shop if you are in the area since they use Outbacks on their trips.

Hey all. The Mayfly Project Seattle is in need of foster or adopted kids for this year's project. Please pass this flyer along to anyone you might know that has foster children or has adopted children. I am the one to contact for registration, or they can register at...

I believe the issue with storing Kayaks right side up is not necessarily that they will get scratched but that they could begin to bow. The recommendation is to store them upside down with the weight on the rails. If these pads work for you to be able to store it upside down, then I see no...

I built this out of lumber I had laying around.

Well, once again we are thwarted in taking the kids out. We planned on using the Trophy Lake and Golf Resort for our one-day event with the foster kids but they won't be stocking their ponds in time. I reached out to WDFW and they suggested either Lake Meridian or Lake Fenwick. Has anyone been...

Here is a picture of the Compass on the back of the Tundra using the bed-extender I referenced earlier.

I fish with Leigh all the time out of our Hobie Compasses. I used to own a Tundra and would haul my kayak using a truck bed extender. Super easy to install, load and unload, etc. Here is the link to one brand for you to check out: https://www.boonedoxusa.com/product-page/classic-t-bone.

This has been working for me in lakes recently too.

As far as inexpensive but lighter rods go you cannot go wrong with an Orvis Clearwater. I have several of those and the Access rods, but the Access rods are a bit heavier. I normally fish a 5wt for floating lines and use a cortland 200gr line as it has a really short head and can shoot bigger...
