I’ve become a bit of a cold weather fishing wimp as I’ve aged and winter in Western NY has been especially cold. Booked a couple days fishing the local big water well in advance not knowing that the cold would persist a bit longer than whatever normal is now. I was excited to not only fish but...

First attempt at a flat wing clouser. Neah Bay / Coho Banger

with the snow all gone, the garbage bloom is beautiful.

Back at the vise after a long absence. Got a trip in a couple weeks throwing baitfish patterns locally so of course I’m gonna be tying Clousers and variations. And just to make sure I could tie more than Clousers, here’s an Albie Escort.

True, but should be two easy wins for the Bills and Pats.

Saw bees for the first time today along with the Erie Canal being ice free. Windy as hell but in the 60's is so nice.

That area has a long history of the super wealthy doing things the locals don't approve of, like buying and preserving the land that is now Grand Teton National Park. Unfortunately I don't think this newer class of super wealthy is as into metaphorically "planting trees for future generations."

Looks like Neah Bay should be on fire for coho. Another spot I enjoyed fishing further down the Strait will probably be meh with lower local runs.... but one never knows.

Thank god the Swell Scupper 14 and 16 exist. If I was to get back into offshore kayak fishing I would order one of these in a heartbeat. The best kayak fishing in WA I ever experienced was off limits to peddle boats. Thick kelp beds loaded with firecracker herring. Pulled up the rudder and...

At least you have open water and open fisheries for musky in February.

Fingers crossed for Anna and Cam to medal in the skimo mixed relay.

Hot Dog Hans wins gold.

Aren’t hatcheries the common ownership of the means of production? Or are wild fish the common ownership of the means of production? Sounds like either way is communism and us Christian patriots should just give up fishing.

If Jim Leonhard can improve the defense, the Bills will be tough to beat. Their problem has been giving up 30+ points in the playoffs and if they can improve on that side of the ball watch out. Hoping the Seahawks can avoid the Super Bowl hangover.

I've been seeing a bunch of squirrels running around these past couple warmer days (into the high 30's and sunny) in Western NY. I'm just looking forward to the snow melting off some of the local running/walking paths over the next week.

Even billionaires have to breathe.... unless the tin-foil hat people are correct that they are aliens.

The problem with the supposed benefits of moderate drinking wasn't that wine drinkers did other healthy things, it was that the studies included long-term alcoholics who had quit as "never drinkers" in the studies so that when comparing health impacts the moderate drinkers came out favorably...

Been enjoying low tide in CO. Got some decent spring riding at the Boat and enjoying the uphill access at Copper. Skinning up under moonlight is pretty cool in my book. Soon I’ll be heading back to snowy Western NY

He played poorly in the Denver game but a can’t let the “couple games” thing go uncontested. The week before the Denver game he went 28/35 (80%), 273 yards, 1 TD plus 2 rushing touchdowns and led a game winning drive with 1:04 left on the clock. I think any team would take that. Also, even...

Allen outside of the Denver game has been exceptional in the playoffs. I’m stoked for Darnold and the Hawks (had season tickets when they played in the Kingdome and AFC West) but it’s easier when you have a #1 defense and you don’t have to be the hero every week. Christ, I think I’ve been in...
