After experimenting last year with birch bark and rattan grips, I was curious about using cottonwood bark. I finished these this past winter, using CWd bark, along with various accents...also did another, using rattan wrap while I was at it.

Pinks are the mildest tasting of all 5 west coast salmon species and readliy take on whatever flavours they are cooked with. Dime bright is key. IMO, great fresh on the BBQ.....Also take smoking well. Pinks tend to be taken for granted due to their abundance, but also, pound for pound, can be...

My choice for elk would be 270 Win in 150gr. Flat shooting, plenty of punch, w/o a ton of recoil.

Going in for hernia surgery Wed (Feb 12), so will be out of action for a few weeks. I'll post when ready to receive Riverstick orders again....thanks for your patience.

Totally agree that its important to turn the page, develop other interests and let the working past go. I don't consider myself an ex-whatever I used to be, ...but a husband/father/grandfather/flyfisher/pickleball player and many other things I'm doing today. We can only live in the moment, not...

Been retired quite a while now....best job I never had. Being retired doesn't mean not being busy, it just means you get to choose what you're busy with. Congrats on your retirement!!

They don't make action figures in my, uh, shape...

All this talk about drip, pour-over, Columbian, Arabica, Kona, etc is old news. Why?..because all the cool kids are now drinking "wild kopi luwak" coffee (the world's most expensive at $100+ for 4 oz), which is made from beans run thru a civet cat for extra "full-bodied" flavour. I tried my...

I've finally cleared the backlog of orders after the month-long (Canada post) mail strike, and can handle some new orders. Please pm for ordering details.

This past year I decided to try euro nymphing...and really enjoy it. I built a 10' 4 wt, threw a lamson liquid on it... and found out pretty quickly why they say to use a full cage reel, as the thin line found its way in behind the spool. In researching full cage reels, I came across the Greys...

When I was a kid, we had to wait til grandma got dressed Xmas morning......:eek:

When the kids were growing up, we'd make a day of finding "just the right" white pine on the woods. Nowadays, I help put up the fake tree, then step away, as my wife decorates (fine with me, as I always do it wrong... ;) )...although I did tie up a couple of decorations that somehow got past the...

Methinks: With that in mind: If they have the technology to be here, we're no match for them.

For winter (and murky (glacial) summer water) steelhead flies, IMO, sillouette is more important than intricate detail. Keep 'em simple and sparse, to allow lots of movement.

10th grade...All in shock, girls crying in the hallways...It made no difference that we were in Canada. Years later, while at a horse show in Dallas, we visited the school book depository building, looked out the same window, stood by the "x" on the roadway, and felt a lot of the the same sadness.

I did a spreadsheet, bracketing fishable levels and species timing for all my local rivers, including special notes. I was unable to post it on here, as the site wouldn't accept libre office.

Working on my Christmas decorations for this year.....

First attempt smoking pork side ribs in new smoker. Really happy with the result.

Still some of my all-time favourite blanks. They are only offering a few built rods right now, but hopefully will expand to offer blanks, etc.
