Wow! Didn't see this coming as I just got back to civilization after a few days in the wilderness. I've messaged with Skip about gardening and other things and recently encouraged him to join us at the Mayfield swap & shop. That was just before he died. I was going to check in with him about...

I've spoken with Cindy at Mike's Reel Repair about an issue with a spool for my Hardy St. Andrew, so I would suggest contacting them.

I have a single burner Iwatani stove, and I also have a pancake griddle that covers two burners.

Yeah, I discovered that my old BC angler number is now irrelevant. Took me several tries, but finally got my BCeID number that I needed for my Dean application.

Another pro who had nothing intelligent to say becoming a broadcaster, how unique!

I was driving during the race. I'm at my motel now enjoying a Icicle Brewing Dirty Face amber.

Interests change. Maybe that's what's happening with you. I have always wanted to and liked to fish since I was 5 years old, and I don't see that changing for me. What I noticed 40-some years ago while I was doing a house remodel and addition is that the less often I fished, the less I felt a...

Softie.

It's hard to set up a tent on slickrock. Impossible to pound in any stakes.

I can cast a dry fly and stare at it waiting for the eat, so it's not much different to stare at an indicator waiting for it to move.

That cartoon of rattlesnakes is disturbing. I'll be cowboy camping in the Utah desert in a few days, and that "what if" thought sometimes creeps into my mind.

It's OK to talk to oneself. You're probably a fairly attentive listener. Maybe OK even to begin arguing with yourself. However, if you find that you're losing the argument, better seek professional help.

If WDFW has become irrelevant in regards to recreational fishing in anadromous streams, how are the governor and legislators any more relevant? I intend to pay them no mind.

I see you got room for a bit more stuff!

I had a dream the night before my wedding. I was fishing on the Toutle River on my wedding day, and I was casting at two summer runs I could see holding near a large boulder. I kept casting, certain that if I got it just right, one of the fish would hit, and I was beginning to sweat that I...

Josh, I used to sometimes resent that life - work and family - got in the way of fishing. I know I missed some outstanding days. But in hind sight, I'm mostly glad that I had both the work and family gigs going for me now that I look at it in the rear view mirror. Perhaps you will some day...

I haven't done the invite strangers much, but they weren't total strangers when we both had been posting on a fishing forum. Worked out OK, but not everyone wants to fish the way I do. I was invited to float and fish with a total stranger on the Wenatchee River some years ago. Kinda'...

Indeed! Timing though - looks like late April is still winter there? I think we went in early June. There was a cicada hatch after lunch, and oh my! Watching big browns rise to big dry flies in that clear green water still lives in my mind's eye.

Yeah, I don't think it can be that good. My MIL done taught me good about fresh corn. Put a quarter inch of water in a pan and put it on the stove to boil. Then go out to the garden and pick some fresh ears, shuck 'em, and place in pan and cover to steam for 3 minutes. Remove, put on yer...

The River of Consciousness by Oliver Sacks, for a 2nd time. Nice little bit about Darwin, species, and evolution, but the psychological section on memory, perception, and epistemology in general is a mind blower. Is anything real? Seems like a good fit with contemporary politics - you don't...
