the original owl hunters.

If we get a spring skagit/Sauk CNR season everything else is just a bonus. More fishing with my dad is the only other thing on my mind and hopefully I get more days rowing him down the river. He’s getting older and his arthritic hands are making it tough on him, but he still gets it done...

I like the sound of that, I feel like I’ve been recommended this line before. I keep sticking to either a skagit or a WA45 because I’m either stubborn or lazy but last spring I kinda hit my limit. I need to try a new line that will hopefully cover all my big river bases.

Yeah it’s frustrating. The long skagit remains elusive. I’ll see if I can find a 600 or 570 rage that might be what I want. Same length just a little more taper.

And my account was refunded and the order cancelled by nextcast. Lame

Now I’m down a mini raft rabbit hole. Thanks everyone.

The river I want it for has no actual boat ramps and requires frequent portages, I do it in watermaster but would love to row for an angler off the bow. My only concern is the 96 is not much bigger…. Wish I could see one in person. I’m 6’2”. I fished out of a 10.5 RMR last spring and that was...

I’m debating that boat right now but I’m afraid it might be too tight for 2 anglers?

Busted!

Whatever is happening behind me can just continue to happen without my knowledge. As far as I’m concerned it doesn’t exist back there until my fly tangles around a tree branch. And even after that happens my memory is shorter then it should and I will likely do it again. I’m looking at where I...

I do not believe I’ve ever watched my backcast in 27 years of fly fishing. Does that make me weird?

I ordered the 600gr from nextcast, I got a confirmation email haven’t got another so TBD I guess

Ordered the CORE30 F1 just couldn’t help myself.

I’m looking at the 600gr head for my 8133. A 30’ long skagit head is very interesting for big river hits. And they also have the F1 configuration that I like so much. In that grain weight the Zone is 26’. I’m not sure how long the coastal is, I don’t see it listed on the site. I fished a WA45...

I drove my truck through this at a significantly lower water level this morning at 4:45am on my way to work. My wife sent me this at 7:30am and it was waist deep and rising by the minute. Pretty wild how fast it came up. Needless to say, I haven’t made it home yet. Thats Hillis rd just upstream...

I’ll take it!

I carry a bench made and love it. It does everything I’d ever want and sharpens easily. But my next knife will be one of this guys: https://chrisreeve.com/ This dude makes one hell of a knife. A buddy of mine is a big time knife geek and has a huge collection from every maker you’ve probably...

Yes, sometimes it starts getting a little thick toward the bottom of a jar so I will top it back off again. Or I squeeze a little lime, salt the rim and drink it. Next time I make a batch I’ll give you a jar to try out.

I use kerosene and paraffin. It works fast and lasts a really long time. Only downside is that it is messy.
