With the liberal courts and prosecutors getting elected it is probably best to turn and run. Oh the wonders of the progressive movement giving perps more rights than victims and society. Dave

You are making it way too complicated. All you need is a rod reel and line and some appropriate tippet. About 6 or so flies depending on where you are fishing and I can probably come up with 12 flies that will fish every where. If you can't carry it all in a few pockets you have too much...

OMJ you are kind of close, it was 1952! when she was crowned. I saw it in black and white, the first thing I watched on TV, and that is another story all together. Dave Dave

The river finally dropped below 2000 cfs today and running at 1930 or so, well into what I consider safer wading flows. I will not get into others thoughts on what is safe, wading is not safe to begin with! The drop has been about 100 cfs or so a day so it is looking really good for this...

The book "River Journal Yakima River" Is a great guide and lists patterns to use month by month. The author is Steve Probaso. Dave

The Yak is running at about 2600 cfs and dropping daily. Safe wading flows are about 2000cfs for a lot of people some more some less. Personally I like it around 1750 or less. Remember there are lots of old waders and lots of bold waders but there very are few old and bold waders. Dave

Your best source for a lot of things is going to be your local fly shop. That is one of the reasons you support them. Sure some things may cost a bit more but how much is information worth? A little monetary good will can go a long way. Dave

I really doubt there is a go to fly for the Yak. It is a fickle river at the best of times but can dish out some nice fish. I really believe it is about presentation and persistence. Understand what is going on and fish accordingly. You don't fish grass hoppers in December. Dave

And Cali's Gov is saying don't charge your electric car after shutting down gas powered sales in the future. I think some people need to get their act together and decide what is the path. Dave

Take the time to train yourself to measure by sight. totally accurate no but you can get darned close. Get your handy dandy tape measure and look at things and "quess" how long it is and then measure. It won't take long to determine fairly accurately how long something is. Practice makes...

College football is becoming a bigger joke by the minute. Why don't the big money guys just flip a coin and the winner takes all. Oh wait that already happens, If you know the right people you know the winner at the end of the year. It is rigged and set up as there is too much money...

It seems like your issues are more about casting correctly. Get some lessons and get the basics down. Now if you were talking about 60 foot casts or so then tippet selection may be more of a factor.` Dave

I believe paying kids to play college sports on top of full ride scholarships is the beginning of the end. A full ride scholarship is worth a lot of money. Maybe more than a lot of people here make in a year. Twenty years ago it cost me $100 a credit at a Junior College! Then add food and...

Walked into a gun shop and saw a Remington 1100 Special Field semi-auto and picked it up. Very nice balance for an auto loader and liked how it felt overall. The barrel looked a bit short and I thought 24", OK I can live with that. Turned out to be 22". Nicest and fastest swinging shotgun...

There is nothing grey about solar maximus! It exists and has existed as long as the solar system and warms the Earth as the orb gets closer to the sun and cools as it drifts further away. The cycle has been confirmed repeatedly in the geological record along with the warming and cooling...

And how much of Global warming is due to cyclic solar maximus which we are experiencing now and will peak in about two years and then subside. Dave

In the guise of being correct here is my report of a something, trip implies drugs or alcohol use.. Walked four miles on synthetic shoes to get to the geological formation that was my target. Cann't drive my truck, carbon emissions you know and can not name the geological feature due to hot...

Jupiter's Bones by Faye Kellerman. Both Faye and her husband are good writers and they keep the plot moving. I would rate this at 4 stars. Dave

Generally when the leader/tippet collapse it is due to too light of leader/tippet material. Dave

Currently reading "Death on the Potomac" written by Margaret Truman, Harry and Bess Trumans daughter. Her books start off kind of slow plot wise but pick-up momentum and what seems trivial at the start meshes in. Over all better than average writer with believable characters and plot. Dave
