In past years I've been able to find a tyers list and times well before the event so I could plan my visit. Not able to find it so thinking I may be looking a little to early. Not getting anywhere on the expo website. Anyone know how to find this info. I'm going. Haven't missed a...

I bought a pair of Proline waders on sale at Bob's Sporting Goods in Longview and they have served me well. I haven't worn them this winter as I'm still recovering from a severely fractured hip. From May till September I wade wet in the D. My pontoon keeps my butt out of the water so...

Peyton Manning said "Face it, you'll never get 6 pack abs again, so just buy bigger shirts" I've had expensive pairs of Simms that leaked and had to be replaced after multiple patch jobs. I finally found a pair of waders on sale for $7o bucks that were a hair oversized but have lasted a...

My bad.... I reckon this whale didn't like Venezuelan food... 😄

I reckon this whale didn't like Mexican food 😄

Fished this river in November and nearly froze my webbies off. Took forever, it seemed, to get my neoprene waders off and into my rig. Went home and bought some simms lightweights I could layer up under. And then never went back in November. Here summer lasts until Oct. 15 and winter...

I cured any temptation I have of getting mad enough to flip off other drivers. I have a hard to forget personalized license plate that says, go figure, Bobduck. I won't even flip off little old ladies. I'm not the slowest guy in the world but I'm working on it.

I get free address labels from trout unlimited. I just stick one on each of my fly boxes. Years ago, like at least a zillion, I read an article by Ted Trueblood about how he lost lots of jackknives just by sitting them on the ground and then forgetting them. It's easy to sit down on the...

grocery carts make good walkers, they also hold my cane.

Video did absolutely nothing to stir up my appetite. (n)

suspicious? I must look really bad. I've been checked on the D more times than I count. Several times over the years by the same officer. The last time I was just getting back to camp when he drove in. After displaying my license I offered him a beer. He declined saying he was on...

I was a poacher once, but not on purpose. It was years before fly fishing. I picked up the paper and noticed that opening day was this coming Saturday. Oh boy I'm going fishing and I know exactly where I wanted to go. A small lake on the Wa. side of the Columbia. When I got there...

When I lived there I always bought licenses in both Ore and Wa. Still do today. There are other streams that cross the state line but I didn't have to worry. Just fish contentedly.

I used to fish this stretch of the river in the 60's and 70's, I'm old, before fly fishing but only in the summer for trout and often in very hot weather. So this post brought back a happy memory. I'm surprised it's closed in Oregon when per regulations it's open in Washington. It must...

I did this trip years ago by drift boat, guided of course, with two overnight stops at lodges, one was Murial but can't remember the other. It was in October with incredible weather and someone had placed pumpkins on rocks at various places throughout the canyon. Great fishing along the...

I use pretty much the same set up, on a smaller scale, but I cook up some Jimmy Dean sausage and then crumble it and mix it with equal parts cream cheese and cheddar cheese. I cook it at 325 degrees for about 23 minutes, any longer and the heat from the jalapeno seems to diminish. The...

Congrats, I'm on my 21st year. Tie flies, fish, read, fish.....the days are just packed.!

You're right on both counts ! 🙋‍♂️

Back when I was going to this show, I'd park at the lot over by Portland Meadows and rode the shuttle in. Parking was easy and the shuttle took you close to the door. Funny story. One year as we were getting ready to leave the show I realized I'd lost my car keys. I went to the lost and...

and I miss Chicago Floyd.
