I mean, I kinda want it but I don't need FOUR 12wts 🤪

I used to drive by Hobie’s place on Pole Pass a few times a week during my seabird survey days. Warren Miller’s place was right there too.

That thing is awesome.

Pretty Pretty sure they are foam filled. Always worth inspecting transoms etc for softness.

No rush. There’s always another boat for sale. ;)

Been watching that one. I’d look if I wasn’t busted for the summer.

Beats "sleeping" in your harness or in slings. I never got into big walls when I was a climber but if you know you're going to be up there for a while, it makes a ton of sense to make yourself as comfortable as possible.

I'm flying down in November so I'll be going lighter with the gear but the gal and I are driving back down for the winter at some point in December, at which point I'll bring the kitchen sink.

I've been tying up bigger streamers in prep for Baja and was wondering what systems people like to keep their larger flies organized? We're talking big Gym Socks and sardinas and so forth up to 8/0. I've got some Plano boxes w/ moveable dividers, and some slotted foam boxes, but I don't really...

I just use a little 3lb grapple anchor and about 2m of chain plus line for my little rowboat. I've fished with a buddy in a 17' aluminum CC and he uses a ~15lb lead pyramid anchor a la drift boat rig. Rig up something that's easy to deploy/recover a lot and don't worry about maximum hold and "by...

I anchor in my rowboat and fish for SRC all the time. Gotta take current and wind into account before dropping anchor but I've caught many fish from anchor. Once I've covered the water I can cover I'll pull anchor (or let out more rode) and reset somewhere down the line. I've rarely had success...

El Niño years tend to suck in the PNW because Mammoth gets all of our snow! ;) I’m following dr and pt orders and am not going to push my recovery. They say I could likely be back skiing in chill mode by the end of next season but the thought of festering in the darkness wo the main thing that...

Timely bump as I just had knee surgery yesterday! 🗡️🦵🤕🧑‍⚕️🩼 I will not be checking in for Snow Shred Season 2026 - 2027 which will be my first skipped winter in 30 years, but I’m very excited for the consolation prize of a season in Baja.

bump! make an offer

I ended up trading for a Maxcatch 6wt so we'll see how that goes. The price was righter than testing the water with a Beulah or LCO.

Just wait until we slide down the slippery slope of wildlife scapegoating to sea otters. Then the gloves really come off…

Sardina variation of Rudy Babikian's Striped Marlin Guide Fly Baja’s months away but I’m starting to fill the boxes in anticipation! This one’s about 5” long on a Gamakatsu SL12S 2/0 hook. The tail is white and tan EP over a few strands of pearl Polar Flash. Three turns of white EP 3” craft...
