    2025 Tuna and Exotics

    So I've been fishing a stinger clouser simply because I had one tied on the rod from the last time I fished it, which was summer 2023 lol. The fly is mangled and the hook is pretty beat up, so I've missed/lost quite a few, but it's getting the job done. But honestly for ocean coho I much...

    2025 Tuna and Exotics

    Hey all! Sorry I haven't been around in some time. Life happens and things have been pretty crazy for me. As Evan mentioned, I've been in salmon purgatory but that's all set to end come Friday when I finally get to switch over and head offshore. Although salmon charters are far from my...

    Non-Fly Easiest way to catch trout in rivers

    Wait wait wait....am I the only one seeing what's going on here? The EURO NYMPHER is asking us for the easiest way to catch trout! Isn't that what euro nymphing is all about??? The answer is staring you in the face ;) In all honesty though, you seem pretty dialed in with the euro stuff...

    What are you listening to?

    Out of all of the rock bands that came out of that era in the 90s, STP was my fav. Scott Weiland was one of my all time favorite rock vocalists. Man I love his voice. I was so sad when he passed.

    New reopening of a fly shop in Rosslyn, WA - 4/5 and 4/6

    Saw this on FB. Very cool. I've never met Michelle, but I follow her from afar and she seems like a really neat lady and someone Id enjoy meeting sometime. I'll have to pay this shop a visit sometime.

    Puget Sound

    Spent an uncomfortably wet day on the water today, but fishing was good enough to make us forget about it for periods of the day. Theme of the day was fish concentrated in very specific areas, very active on fry. Almost all of our fish came from these specific spots, with little shown in the...

    The original knife thread.

    Great recommendation here. The Bugout is a nice little EDC folder, but the Deka, IMO is a much better buy.

    Those look great Rod! To my eye it looks like you took the collar to City but the tails to City+. Nice combo. ;)

    What have you done for your boat lately?

    I've been meaning to pick one of these up for quite a while now. I typically have to muscle my boat four or five feet in or out of my carport. Never been a huge deal, but the front wheel tends to dig into the gravel and make the process more difficult than it needs to be. One of those trailer...

    First round matchup #13 - #4 Dorado vs. #29 Wahoo

    I zero real experience with either species, so this is just based on what little I do know about them both... If the question is based around a one time encounter of would I rather catch a dorado or a wahoo on a cast fly, Id take wahoo just because of their speed, reputation for aerial strikes...

    What Are You Eating?

    Due to diabetes I have to severely limit simple carbs, so pork rinds has become my go to when I need some crunch. Pork rinds have come a long ways since I was a kid. There's some real high quality stuff out there, and some very cool flavors. My wife buys tubs of crushed rinds at Walmart...

    What Are You Eating?

    Didn't take any pics, but a lack of dinner plans and losing track of time last night resulted in taking a jar of home canned albacore, mixed it up with some egg, green onion, garlic and some other spices, grated Parmesan, and some crushed smoke flavored pork rinds. Made patties and into the air...

    Upper Colombia/Snake summer steelhead forecasts

    Is there large numbers of commercially caught steelhead coming to market in places in the world anyone is aware of? Just curious, as it seems that if some of these vessels are catching them in numbers they'd either need to find a market for it, or just dump it immediately. Id have to think it...

    What are you listening to?

    Yes! I definitely feel it. I've been a BOC fan for a long time, especially since seeing them live at 7 Cedars Casino somewhere around the year 2000. I went to that show reluctantly, and came away a big fan. Seen them several times since. Not the original lineup of course, but my later...

    Puget Sound

    I can't speak to the electronics on a ferry, as I'd have to imagine they are far more advanced than anything I have experience with, but I can say that the boats I run on the ocean have very high end radar systems, at least as far as anything likely to be installed on a fishing vessel, but radar...
