Well said! I appreciate you.

Sorry, but I firmly disagree. The problem is complex. Perhaps what you are referring to as simple is the state of being homeless. Even if you instantly house everyone through a combination of incarceration, institutionalization, and giving people housing it is nothing more than putting a...

I get that, to each their own. Click doesn’t matter to me much, more about the less engineered, easier to work on/fix, bulletproof aspect to a good click reel. Kind of like working on cars when I was a kid vs the monstrosities under most hoods these days. Also- The click is much more noticeable...

Thanks, everyone, for the wonderful thoughts. I’m probably going to try a combination of keeping her in the Jeep and bringing her with (when fishing close to camp). Rattlesnakes are a real concern, I fish the lower D and the Crooked occasionally. (Photos are ones I took of her and my Dad on the...

Dear @Salmo_g This morning I think you and I were typing at the same time- I hadn’t read your post when I wrote mine. Regardless, rest assured I try to focus my negative feelings at issues, not people. I appreciate your reply, and the time and thought put into it. Frustratingly, homelessness...

After reading this thread I’ll have to change my attitude toward whitefish. I’ve only caught a couple in the past, both times on a nymph when targeting larger redsides. In my experience the whitefish didn’t fight much, but rather felt like reeling in a deflated football. Maybe I’ve just been...

A few months ago I picked up an Orvis Superfine Glass 3wt 7’6” and it’s quickly become my favorite rod. With a little click reel and the superfine 3wt line it is a joy to cast. So far it’s really fit the bill for everything from small coast range blue lines to the Metolius

Too true.

Great advice. I’ve heard there are parasite concerns with dogs and raw salmon/trout. Does this give you pause at all?

+1 for Two Rivers in Albany. I consider this my “home” shop and owe a lot to Mitch. Other favorites: Deschutes Canyon Fly Shop (closed now, but the website is up and Smurf still guides) Camp Sherman Store & Fly Shop Big Y

I haven’t taken up tying yet (I know, I know…) but am interested in the event. Those that have gone in the past, is there general fly fishing content here or is it dedicated to the art of tying only?

@Brute - yup! It is a double cot tent. It fits me and my wife perfectly for quick overnights, or if it’s just me I’ll do it for longer trips In inclement weather. Admittedly, we are in the process of buying a small off-road capable teardrop trailer. We’ve rented them before and Louise pulls it...

My father passed this fall and I inherited a very sweet and well behaved border collie. She loves camping, and when my wife comes as well things work out great, but I’m at a loss of what to do with her if I were to go camping with just the dog. I almost exclusively fish rivers, and spend most of...

Jumping into this thread late, but here it goes… Years ago we bought a used 4x4 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee inline 6 cylinder 4.0L (ZJ). Nicknamed Louise, we bought her strictly as a camping vehicle. Picked her up in pretty good condition for $1,600 and have probably put $3k into her over the years...

Brand new here, been sick and haven’t hit the river in weeks, just found the forum this morning. That said, this is going to be a rough first post, but please bear with me. “As a society, we are defined by the way we treat the least of us.” Long ago a close friend shared this sentiment with me...
