For lakes (and even rivers) an Olive Willy is (as @flybill mentions above) is one of the most productive flies ever created...easy to tie and requiring few materials. Go ahead and fish those early attempts at tying; you'll quickly learn that trout are much less fussy about perfection than...

Had a lot of dogs over the years and quite a few had allergies...without conducting actual allergen testing (via vet administered allergen panels) it's often a real crapshoot finding the problem. Just like humans these critters can suddenly develop an allergic reaction to something they've been...

I'm getting to the point of not going anywhere with old people (and I'm 74) because all they do is bitch about the price of everything...even when they're very often at a point in their lives when they have no financial worries. Yeah...candy bars once cost a nickel...get over it.

If Norwegian Cruise Lines provides some super offers on Strait of Hormuz trips you might want to hold off for awhile! 🤣

This thread has taken the winter shacknasties to a completely new level! 🤣

The menace of cruise ship norovirus is far more concerning than either....

The cruises are filled with old farts, who'll be fast asleep shortly after scarfing down their 4 PM early bird specials. 😃

Those photos should become a closely guarded family secret! Have a safe trip!

Now that is real service! Looks stout and very functional....I've never felt comfortable with those rack systems that cantilever a large number of bikes far off the vehicle via bumper hitch. The Kingston vertical style design puts the bikes/rack weight where it should be...not at the end of a...

Self medication and the search for easy euphoria will never go out of style.

My parents were heavy drinkers, as were all of their friends. All my teenage friends drank, as did their parents. And during my hitch in the Marine Corps heavy drinking was the norm and encouraged via cheap e-club booze. Everybody I fished with swilled beer all day, though nobody boozed it up...

Born caesarean with flyrod in hand. No wonder mom was cranky. Seriously though, my old man and grandfather were flyfishermen. Other than a few toddler years dunkin' worms, and very brief forays into spin gear for bass, flyfishing for trout is all I've done for almost 70 years. Started tying...

Only drunks find drunks interesting or entertaining.

Yup...and the quickest way a FNG can be shunned in a new community (foreign or domestic) is to start telling the locals what their community/country is doing wrong...and how to fix it. And in a great many communities you'll be a FNG forever, but accepted if you can keep your opinions to yourself.

We're never ready for anything...as a species we're pre-programmed for immediate gratification. Being proactive just ain't in our genes, much like our lack of interest in not repeating historical mistakes over and over again. If it hasn't happened in our direct personal experience it doesn't...

Or the ancient roller dogs at a theater playing a certain movie this last weekend.

Sure, maybe an African Swallow could do it, but not a European Swallow....

Foxx nailed it!

Try that with a pronghorn, ostrich, or wolf! 😁
