Same here out in Buckley. I usually put up three WHY traps in May to try to catch the queens but all three traps so far are empty. I wonder if the cold snap this winter really hammered the local population. I'm definitely not complaining through. And yes the paper wasps sure are docile, you...

I think your plan for the splice is good. My only worry would be getting the splice pipe to have a snug fit into your existing pipes. From your photo it looks like the OD is 2.75 + 1/16" or 1/32", with ~1/8" wall thickness. Do you have calipers and can get a solid accurate measurement of the...

Thanks Ive. I really enjoy your gear reviews. Do you have a link for the evaporative cooler you're using?

What the heck is this? The main stem river is closed to summer runs but they’re opening up that short stretch of Tokul for a June July summer run fishery? I don’t recall Tokul ever being open for summer runs. Why not open the Snoqualmie if the Chinook are safe?

yeah it's pretty far gone, but you could probably sand off the rust and get down to some weldable steel underneath, then fab an L shaped bracket to go on the back side to tie the two together.

Amazing adventure and fabulous conveying of the stories of the fish. Well done!

Same here. I currently really dig the Sherpa Trailers out of Libby MT. I like their Bigfoot model.

Oh wow, this is awesome... thanks Dime!

I got it last year, at least I think it was trigger finger aka pitchers finger. I was making the bed and stretching one corner if the fitted sheet very aggressively down over the mattress and felt a pop in my left middle finger. There was no pain, but I could no longer straighten the tip of...

Oh wow, that one's very fishy Tom! Looks like it would be a great fall steelhead fly on the GR too, maybe in a size #8.

I read the article and was shocked that the recommended minimum distance to a bison was a mere 25 yards. That seems way too close.

I figured the lake would still be open, there’s just no easy access. Maybe Orvis can get a float plane guide service going. 😃

That’s the alternate route that’s been set up for residents south of the bridge as well as first responders. It goes thru the private Hancock Timber company land. So it’s only open to select few, not a general public access. This really hurts, so much public area is now cut off from access...

I'm mad about it too, Pat, and I've never even fished there! I guess it's because I always planned to someday. But if they did gate it and not renew the lease, can we assume that Witt Farms would still allow trespassing on foot to walk in? We'd still be covering the same private property...

Oh if I lived closer I would for sure. But I'm over here on the wetside. I've been to Grimes exactly one time and that was just to check it out, we didn't even fish that day. But it's always been on my mental short list of places to go, so this thread piqued my interest. Plus I just love...

I checked it out in Google Earth as well, to see what that existing back road looks like. I was able to spin and angle the view to get a feel for the terrain and elevation change. It looks pretty do-able, but stuff always looks easier in the view from way above than in real life on the ground...

This is my understanding of the situation, Grimes Road cuts across Witte Farms LLC property to get from Jameson Lake Road to the BLM property and WDFW access site. This is the property for which the lease is not renewed, they must not have ever signed a permanent easement with the state for...

Those look terrific! I bet these would be effective in lots of places around here too.

Nice work, Pat!

Good deal for someone! This would be an awesome PS beach rod.
