Great read, Thank you

When my grandson was in Iowa his girlfriend’s parents had a vacation home on Lake of the Ozarks that he thought was nice. Anywhere off the lake could be very sketchy according to what he saw.

Yes but that is still substantially light, most Scandi lines for six weight are 390-425 and allow for a tip on top of that. The lines shown below are for the same rod, a 5-6-7 Meiser. At 407 and 434 grains both allow for a 70 grain tip. Bob’s rods typically have a 3 size grain window but he...

The SSVT lines are substantially lighter than what I consider standard or typical. Example, my 11’7” Meiser is rated as a 5-6-7 and Bob and Steve recommend a 425 gr Scandi, the Rio SS recommended 6 weight is 305 gr. Is it due to being shorter at 23’ vs 28-30’ typical for Steve’s lines? Different...

Never been but always been told Norway (and other Scandinavian countries) are quite expensive.

My grandson lived in a small town in western Iowa for a couple years, about 45 miles from Omaha, NE. Very nice homes for under $100K, clean, good fishing and hunting. Don’t know what schools are like, people are friendly. Tornadoes and cold winters the negative.

Is the Rams/Seahawks game on broadcast tv in the PNW? Down here in Central California, the home of Rams, Raiders and 49ers fans it’s being preempted for the epic clash of NFC West cellar dwellers, 49’ers vs. Cardinals. I hate Fox.

There is also an extensive angling collection at Montana State University. Both Charlie Brooks and Polly are in the archives. https://www.lib.montana.edu/archives/trout-salmonid.html

I always heard it called “Vantucky”.

While I love my original G, a custom build 6 weight in 9’6”, I’ve never fished the new generation. I’m sure it’s great. Imagine it’d be great for your intended use, but you might consider a Redington CT, similar action and a lot less money. To answer your question, yes the 9’ six G would do the...

Penn State came very close to upsetting the Illinoi; great ending.

Congratulations, quite an improvement. The silvers will be in the Kenai and trout should be gorging on salmon carcasses in the upper river. Lake Clark is spectacular!

That put-in at Dodge and the run down to pipeline will wake you up. First time in my 14’ Cat I was getting oars set and worrying about passenger, my buddies 20-year old son. The raft went sideways over first or second little wave curl you have marked on your picture and we both were not ready...

I like liver and onions IF correctly prepared. That means removing the membrane often still on and soak in milk overnight. Wife won’t cook it so I don’t get it often. Used to love chicken livers until someone mentioned the liver is the bodies filter and store bought chicken is raised on chemical...

We did a DNA test on her, results were interesting; she is 49% AussiePoo, the 51% is where it is interesting: 37% Alaska Malamute 14% Husky 25% Poodle 24% Australian Sheperd

Hecka fine trout Travis, congratulations on the dog. I split a gut on the “used” expression.

The older I get the less I like crowds.

Way outta my tax bracket and even if it were I’d pass. So much better view from TV.

What would that cost, for say 4 seats.
