Excited to fish again, just been once this year with cold feet and no fish.
March trip to Central Washington and fishing Pinks on Whidbey in August
The Owyhee and NEO in June
A day for Bonefish on Molokai in April
May trip with 10 to the Douglas Ranch in BC
I'm excited to head off to some new...
My girlfriend has a 90+ lb. Anatolian Shepherd. They were bred to guard livestock from wolves. It lives on a farm and is great with people including kids that climb all over her. It is clear about its job to keep the coyotes away and chases them off almost daily, will park by the rabbits or...
Was at LaGrande Reservoir, a hike in lake at 6,000 feet in NEO years ago ona hot summer afternoon. Two of us were float tubing, about halfway down the lake toward the inlet when a herd of about 30 elk came down to cool off. It was a splash fest!
I've been doing lots of trolling with a couple of friends, Always use a clouser behing a dodger and catch as many as the other guys who switch it up and use herring, spoons, squids and flies. Last night I tied up my version of a dodger, basically a huge bright streamer. Today I nixed the...
I had a bad fall on a super slick steep sidewalk September 25th. Broke my fall withy right arm. Lot of sudden pain. Went to see the Dr., had an X-ray and did about 8 weeks of pt. Did the bands at home, and my usual stuff. Yoga most mornings (some poses a little painful), and trombone...
You might check out. NRS gigbob. I have one and it's good in Rivers and lakes. No frame, inflates to a higher pressure like an inflatable paddle board. I use a electric motor on mine in big reservoirs. Have seen pictures of a guy who is using a 3 HP gas motor on hia in some big Colorado...
I use an old frame pack. I set it upside down on top of the seat of my tube clip to d rings with a strap that stays on the pack and then thread the apron through the frame of the pack. Much more stable set up for walking to me than the d rings on the bottom of my fat cat. Comfortable for a...
Great pictures Shawn! I visited my daughter in College Place and flew home through Dallas. Was able to see the partial from the terminal, but totality happened after we loaded the flight for SeaTac. Still a cool experience.
I agree with Jasmillo that more people equals more garbage, but it also has to do with that feeling of being anonymous when there are tons of folks around that don't know you, not knowing your neighbors, being in a car. People behave better in many ways when they live in smaller groups...
If you're lucky they may take poppers. I fished a lot for them in Eastern Oregon and have done well on divers and poppers when they are in the mood. Hanging a bugger or clouser off the popper works well too. If the fish are deep no popper and sinking line. It seems that getting the fly in...
