I plan to be buried with my 586 X rod.

In the late 1990s the rainbow trout population in most Colorado streams was decimated by whirling disease, which was largely introduced by diseased fish from infected hatcheries. A sad episode in Colorado fisheries management. Brown trout tend to be resistant to WD, so their numbers increased...

Do you strap the fish across your hood?

I keep mine in a plastic tub on the porch and fill it with water the night before I plan to fish. Saves a lot of pain.

I have a 36 pound trolling motor I put on my Bucks Bags Southfork. I don't troll; I just use it to move around the lake. Works well. Bucks Bags makes a motor mount for the toon, but I just built my own out of plywood. Don't ditch your oars. Many pontoons track poorly under power. I leave my...

With hip waders it doesn't matter if the seams leak, because you're going to wade in over the top before the day is out and fill them with water anyway. I had a friend who said the first time he heard the expression "wading wet," he just thought that meant wading with hip waders.

I'm guessing the female picks the spawning spot.

Hey! I know Willie too. Hi Willie.

Watch the weight. You don't want to try to lift a Colorado on top of your car. I have a Bucks Bags Southfork. For years I put it up on top of my truck topper, since it was a light boat. Now I have a camper in the truck bed and carry the boat on a trailer.

Just be glad they're still around at all. Recall they tried to sell out to Bass Pro last year.

First time I used a float tube the wind came up and blew me to the other end of the lake. Had to get out and walk around through the rocks. Glad I was wearing real boots. Have ever since.

I'll never part with my 590-4 RPL. I don't actually fish it much these days. (In spite of what many people say, it's far from Sage's "best rod ever," and I'm dismayed by the heavy swing weight.) But it's deeply embedded in my fishing roots, so it stays. BTW, I have that same Lamson Velocity...

Not a Golden Trout. A Golden Rainbow, AKA Palomino Trout. Just fling a black foam beetle out there and wait.

I think the problem with refrigerators--like other motors--is that the compressor start-up current could be much greater than the average power consumption.

The good news about the Sage R8 Core is that no one is going to force you to buy one. C'mon guys. Let the people sell their rod. It's what they're in business to do.

Love the Weather Underground 10-day graphical display. And it proves to be pretty accurate where I live.

Blasting clay targets with a shotgun--trap, skeet, sporting clays. FWIW, I carry a knife in my pocket while shooting.

Well, maybe "scam" is too strong., I agree they're "better" in some respects. As far as I can tell, the major advantages for RV use are you can discharge them below the 50% point, which supposedly degrades lead-acid, and they recharge faster. (And I like that they're lighter.) But they cost...

I don't want to go too far down this rat hole, but it is in line with what the OP is asking. So... I'm still trying to understand this 6v thing, but so far I just think it's a myth. A 6v 200 aH golf cart battery cost about $200 and weighs 60+ lbs. You've got to put 2 of them in series to get...
