Brodgar Ring standing stones circle. Orkney, Scotland. Pre-dates Stonehenge by over 2,000 years.

I've got a good buddy that used to run a non-profit organization in which he would take active duty and veteran military folks out on free guided fishing trips. He was telling me about a trip he did for a grumpy old Vietnam vet. I guess the bite was non-existant that day depite him working his...

Challenge accepted.

You're welcome on my boat anytime. And after the Swap & Shop, we won't be "strangers".

I rowed for a couple of years for the annual PHW "Two-Fly" event on the Yakima. Both years, I was paired with the same veteran/sponser team. The sponser was great. The vet was an absolute boner. He was in the seat behind me and kept wrapping his fly line/leader around my neck and face. After...

Ahhh yes. the dreaded spousal offer. "I'm sure Breck would love to take you with him and teach you how to fish." Ugh.

I do have to say that while the exception to the norm, I have made some lifelong friends as a result of going fishing with strangers. Not enough to ever make me do it again though.

Yeah. Me too now. Lesson learned the hard way. Like Evan said, I'd feel pretty comfortable fishing with pretty much anyone from this board...Maybe with the exception of Travers. ;) 😂

No. That was my buddy's boat. Different trip. I was in my boat behind you and watched in horror as the whole affair happened. That was scary.

Do you remember that first time I met you & Jason at Sultan and I showed up with a dead owl stuck to my windshield wiper? It had flown right into my windshield moments before I pulled into Sultan and got stuck there. I remember thinking "Well this is going to make a great first impression."😂

I took guy that I had fished with one or two times previously on the Cowlitz for sea-run cutties. Based on past experience, he seemed like an ok guy. Right out of the gate, he hooks a beauful big steelhead. We get it to the net and it clearly had one too many fins to be a keeper. I was as elated...

I have in the past offered open seats when I didn't want to fish alone in my boat. It would seem that 90% of the time it turned out to be a bad decision. A couple of examples: A few years ago when I lived in NW Montana, there was a lake near my house that held huge populations of burly...

That's a great song. I like this take on it as well.

I wouldn't say I got "worked up" over it. Just thought it a little odd and a little invasive and I was on the BLM side. I didn't get a permit because I was going to stay on the non-reservation side of the river (and did).

I caught a little flack from a sheriff's deputy at the Warm Springs boat launch a few years ago. I had a 1911 in a chest holster in the bow of my drift boat. He didn't seem happy about it. Kept asking me questions about it. "What caliber?" "Manufacturer?" things like this. There had been a...

I got pulled over last night. The officer asked me to step out of the truck. "Have you been drinking tonight, sir?" he asked. I replied, "could a drunk person do this?" I promptly farted twice and pissed down my leg. The officer said "Yeah. I think a drunk person could do that." I replied...

I was about waist-deep in the Deschutes at South Junction a few years back. Across the river, I spied what appeared to be a tree branch in the river near the opposite bank until I noticed it was undulating. I soon realized that it was a large rattlesnake! The river current combined with the...
