    Sunglasses lens tint/color for PNW fishing, what do you like?

    NFR AI - How It Will Affect Jobs In The Next 5 years

    I just used Grok to rebut a stupid LA Times article. It took less than a half-hour to find all the peer review articles to "right" the science ignored by the LA Times. If we can get journalists to read peer reviewed science journals there might be hope for mankind.

    Technically, it is NOT the government "in bed", but our elected representatives. And as with any street walker, you do have to PAY for their services. I did my six month monthly check on what the internet is saying about me........ It did get my age right, it did get my address right. It...

    A few years ago the Okanogan County Sheriff wrote a article on what to do when you die in the wilderness. It seems that once rigor mortis sets in it is very difficult to pack the body on a mule. The mule doesn't like it. So the Sheriff made the request that just before you take you last...

    PNW Flood Watch - Dec 8-12, 2025

    I believe it was the winter of 1996-1997. We flying to Baja over Christmas. Every pass road was closed for several days. The only way to get to western Washington was through I-84. Wenatchee had four feet of snow on the ground and my roof as well. Western Washington was flooding and the...

    How have you adapted to fishing with Age and Medical Challenges?

    I found the kayak loader for $750, but can't seem to find the boat loader anywhere for sale. Looks like it would work.

    How have you adapted to fishing with Age and Medical Challenges?

    I have a cap on the back, and the boat rack is on top of the cap. That makes it over seven feet from the ground to the bottom of the boat. With the trailer attached I have to lift the pontoon up to the boat rack from the side of the truck. Seven feet is a long ways. I do carry a ladder just...

    How have you adapted to fishing with Age and Medical Challenges?

    I started planning for age and medical issues back in my late 20's. I discovered stillwater fly fishing and gave up fishing water that is in a hurry to get somewhere else. I found a friend and got him addicted to fly fishing. He gives me flies for Christmas. Unfortunately, he has some vision...

    Rain

    DimeBrite do you have a source showing the precipitation layer this last "river"?? I am curious if it is going to hit the same areas?? Snow is good, but it might really slow up opening Hwy 2 and other areas on the east side that were heavily hit. I remember the last atmospheric river that hit...

    PNW Flood Watch - Dec 8-12, 2025

    Yeah, I would feel sorry BUT.......when the east coast get very cold, we get nicer warm weather in eastern Washington. I am sitting on my deck, at 60 degrees plus in the sunshine listening to Cajun music. There are linkages in climate between California and Alaska as well. Pretty...

    Lawsuit Against Fly Fishing Only Waters

    There is ONE thing that the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has done well and that is the focus on SELECTIVE fisheries rather than fly fishing regulations. I suspect when Joe Foster was the Fish Biologist is Ephrata he had a lot to do with the quality lake waters in the basin, simply...

    Rain

    Danger Jim Foreman was the reporter for several fires and I had to deal with him. He did believe in "ambush" interviews!! He and the King 5 satellite truck almost got trapped in the Tyee Fire and he was my responsibility. I was glad that he survived, since I didn't want to answer all those...

    It probably was because the Pacific Northwest was settled by lots of folks from the mid-west and east. Those language characteristics were probably picked up by you. A few years ago, there were some science publication on words and their relationship to the parts of the US. There were even...

    I don't think that is true. I use this app while traveling rural areas. It has always been right. It puts all the state information in one place. https://oss.weathershare.org/?clat=47.60249&clng=-120.88333&zoom=10

    PNW Flood Watch - Dec 8-12, 2025

    There is no silver lining to this rain. I was watching the Spokane news last night and the weather woman commented on the rain shadow effect of this series of storms on eastern Washington. I was hoping that all this rain would recharge the fishing lakes in the eastern Washington. Most of area...
