    NFR Humor (No political jokes)

    I live about a 1 mile from here and this is my regular dog walk loop. We always wonder if this was from a sense of humor or obliviousness. My colleagues at USFS do not know.

    Alaska Emergency Closure

    Is any of this due to lowered production from the lower 48? I read from time to time that AK kings are intercepted WA/OR fish.

    NFR Snow Shred Season 2024 - 2025

    I am a non-denominational skier, partaking in many types. One of my favorites is classic skiing. It’s the same motion as walking but ripping km’s fast and efficiently is soooo nuanced. It came together pretty good for me on Sunday and I ended up staying out for a while at my home resort (Tahoe...

    Seeking Advice for N. Cal in May

    I am partial to the mixed berry milkshakes at Floyd’s Frosty in McCloud. Burgers are pretty good too. Dine outdoors with a bangin’ view of Mt Shasta . Oh the fishing is good too, agree with all the other info posted here.

    The Mountain Bike Thread

    There are several legends as to where Celeste came from. The romanticized version is that it is the colors of some queen at the time’s eyes. I also heard Eduardo bianchi bought all the ww1 navy surplus interior ship paint. I have bianchi from the 80’s, have seen some fro. The 60’s and of course...

    The Mountain Bike Thread

    I had a ‘95 grizzly in the Martini racing paint job. After working in bike shops for nearly 3 decades I owned a lot of bicycles but that bike is my all time favorite. Sold it for super cheap to pay rent. Also our deck railing has a mix of cool old hard tails from the good old days hanging on...

    Christmas Poll... what about the tree?

    We cut down silver tip/ red fir and prefer the large bulb incandescent colored lights. Wish they made leds in those opaque old school incandescent colors. The clear blue and magenta leds are a problem for me. That said this year we cut a white fir and it has white lights

    Favorite fish/story/trip of 2024?

    I had some nice days. My son (13 y/o) caught his first dry-fly trout on the Flathead. He is always catching fish…when he goes fishing, which is infrequent. I turned 50 this year and did a great Norcal trip with an old friend, in September. Mccloud, Hat, Trinity all had excellent fishing. My...

    Now The Shad Are Causing Problems

    I once went to a meeting about Lake Tahoe’s invasive crayfish. The discussion amongst the panelists was whether to create a market for crayfish harvested for food, to bring down the numbers in the lake. (They cause the lake to lose clarity via crayfish poo and their decomposition) There was a...

    Downrigger mounts on an aluminum skiff

    Hi, My 14’ Klamath has post-mounted downriggers on the middle seats. I bought the boat that way. It is kinda annoying because 1. It is a lot of stress on the seat tops resulting in flex that in causes the downriggers to have a lot of play. And 2, perhaps more importantly, the seats are useless...

    FS Edge archetype 9’9 weight, used for about 10 minutes

    Here are some pix. Note the dent on the cork. Must be from how I put it in the case. Otherwise like I mentioned, used for a few minutes. I think it would make an awesome rod for quick load casting.

    FS Edge archetype 9’9 weight, used for about 10 minutes

    For sale or trade: Edge Archetype 9’9 weight. Beautiful rod but way too stout for what I am looking for. Comes with a non-edge case and bag. I’d like to get 200 and split shipping. Thanks for looking!

    NFR Truck tires?

    I run k02s on my frontier. E rated. I think they are noisy and harsh and trimmed 3mpg from the hankooks that came stock. However I drive a ton on usfs roads, some rough, for work and fun. Figured I need the extra security. Re snow: I live where there is snow 5 months of the year, and find season...

    Cutty time

    Different kind of cutties, but I did an overnite in the n Sierra this weekend to a lahontan cutthroat lake at @ 8000 feet. They were in the 12-15” range and bitey. I fished a 16 Adams mainly because that is what I usually start with!
