I bought that boat in 92 or 93 in Yakima with accessories for $400. I think they’re $1500 or so now. Worst treatment it had was when I forgot to strap it down on the lance camper after fishing Lenore and dragged it down the highway for a quarter mile. The rough asphalt wore a hole in both...

Star of the show on Friday. Caught 5 15-16” Rainbows and lost one. Tied on a #14 60 degree jig hook.

My Fishing buddy died a couple years back. I bought a Garmin 4. It’s more complicated but there are good tutorials on youtube. I miss the sidefinder on the Fishing buddy. I don't use it much to find fish. I use it to determine temperature and depth. The mapping feature is excellent. Every...

I have cheap nippers on every set of waders but often use the scissors on my swiss army knife or leatherman micra tool on my keychain.

I fished there in September a few years back. The fellow in the Avery fly shop told us the hot summer fly was a #8 hopper. He was right. That worked until the frost killed the hoppers. Small dry flies like a #18 Renegade were effective. Cabezon wades where few others dare. Neither currents...

Too bad. Wonderful experience spring or fall.

I’ve been using their $100 x11 spinning rods for coho. Rods have been fine except for the reel seat. Couldn’t find this sale online. Send a link.
