    The Mountain Whitefish, aka Short Fin Grayling thread

    I once caught a whitey on an articulated streamer on the Metolius. Once whities get a taste for blood, look out!

    NFR Alcohol going out of style

    NA beers are getting better…..but they are definitely not as good as the real thing. I looooove good beer. I’m hoping some day the talented brewers can make an NA that tastes exactly like the real thing. Whoever figures that out will be a wealthy man/woman!

    NFR Alcohol going out of style

    Just like any anything, too much weed is bad for you. I’ve known several people who have pretty much fried their brains on weed. Side note, I haven’t had a beer in a few days and I’m feeling pretty rested. I’m going to keep it going for a while.

    NFR Alcohol going out of style

    As someone who has been wanting/needing to cut back, this is a very encouraging thread. My sleep, and energy are sooo much better when I don’t drink. Also, getting up to pee at night. Part of my challenge is a lot of what I do, alcohol is part of it. And it’s hard for me to be where people...

    NFR Alcohol going out of style

    imo, rogue charged too much for their beer, and to be honest, most of their offerings weren’t very good anyway. They were living off dead guy merch.

    NFR Alcohol going out of style

    Luckily we don’t try to keep up with the jones’. Our only debt is our mortgage, and occasional home reno/car stuff. For us, it’s mostly we have teenagers, and the rapid inflation

    NFR Alcohol going out of style

    I feel for folks in the restaurant biz. People have much less disposable income. I know my wife, and I, make more then we ever have, but it sure doesn’t seem like it at the end of the month.

    Athletic’s Hazy is about the best NA I’ve come across. While not as good as the real thing, it’ll do when you dont want the alcohol

    Pyramid Lake

    They thought the original strain was extinct but they found fish that matched the genetic makeup on pilot peak on the Utah border. The summit lake strain is what we were catching the mid 2000’s and before. Thd pilot peak strain (or original pyramid lake strain) is a beast! They fight like a...

    What's in your (PIZZA) oven?

    I mostly just buy pre-made crusts or get a dough ball from the store. And I like to cook pizza in my travel trailers propane oven. Not exactly fancy. Tried a new combo of toppings recently that was pretty dam legit. I have a bunch of frozen chanterelles that I dry sautéed in...

    Shout out to Tactical Fly Fisher

    It’s been good for me to re-evaluate my system. I fish a lot of big, heavy water….but not always. I think I have a big, heavy mentality, that takes away from my finesse approach. I’m having a nymphing reset if you will. But that’s the beauty of it. We constantly learn, re-learn, and are...

    Ok - streamer fishing using a mono rig ?

    I keep a foam puck with straight 2x to a sculpin (typically) in my pack. I like Swentoskys bullet bunny with a tung bead. Sometimes, add split 18” above. will pop off my nymphs at tippet ring, and streamer on in like 2 minutes. Bounce that sucker like a cat toy.
