Growing up I wore them, and at the time hated them because they weren’t “cool” like what some other richer kids wore. But now I would love to have a pair as work outside pants because they had that super-reinforced knee area. I always wear out the knees of my work jeans from gardening...

I was wondering about him too the other day. Glad to hear he's all good.

I bought a LOT of the discontinued SA GPX lines in 4, 5 and 6 weight off Sierra Trading since they had such a good deal on them for so long. They might still have some. Not sure if it would be the best specialty indicator line but for just general floating use they're a good deal. Update: I...

That looks great Evan. I'm not even close to being a newbie anymore, but I think I'll find this resource helpful. thanks, andy

I bought my first real mattress from the Surplus / Returns department in the basement of the old Sears on Lander. Would've been in around 1992. It was for a homemade bed I built for my first place. As I kid I used to pore over the "Fun-Karts" section of the Sears catalog, daydreaming about a...

I've never actually built one, but once years ago I was looking at a property and started designing a system in my head for it if the sale went thru. I ended up not getting the place, but the systems I was looking at was called Mighty Mule...

Outstanding!

I first saw it posted on Reddit and it did actually show some locals giving the guy a beatdown at the end. But the way the clip was edited I think it may have been fake.

It was a good deal for some nice reels. I was tempted but I need another reel like I need a hole in the head.

A lot of these comments resonate with me. My passion for fishing has always waxed and waned, I'll get really into a certain fishery and do it as much as possible, and then my passion for a different activity will pick up and I'll focus on that for a while. I've always had two major passions in...

I remember those! One of the stories once was about a guy in a float tube who got attacked by a beaver while fishing. It bit him on the calf underwater. I think about that story every time I take the tube out.

I wonder if they’d do well in Ross Lake, which is full of those red sided shiners. I don’t know what strain of rainbows are in Ross currently, but they seem to be thriving on the shiners. It was a fun fishery the couple times I got to do it. Plus to @salmog’s point, Ross is further north and...

Outstanding SBS, thanks Mike!

Hell yeah, trevally off the beach! I was able to get a similar sized one (blue fin) a few years back. Those guys put a nice bend in an 8wt! Edit- I think mine was smaller. You got a nice one! Edit 2 - since we’re in the “what’s catching you fish” thread, it was one of the streamers in the...

Wow, tried both, very cool Evan. thanks, andy

Nice work Pat!

Nice, very nymphy and buggy. That little guy should absolutely slay the opening day stockers on a west side lake in late April!

LOL...One of the greatest episodes ever, but not where I got my moniker... :D

Very nice. Probably my second favorite all time pattern, behind the Coal Car. I got my first (on the fly) steelhead on a Signal Light. What are you using for the wing? Is that just dyed black calf tail?
