Airflow depth finder lines are on sale for $55 on the airflo site right now, in both 500 and 700 grain. I got one as a spare.

Strongly agree here... The acceptance of a heavy "in person" monitoring requirement, where the only acceptable monitoring tool is basically in person WDFW staff, as NECESSARY to open a fishery, is what keeps our seasons closed and short, plus limits where we can fish. Simply because in person...

For a big one, it should be dark. Not quite as visual if you get it on top, but the sound is cool.

After, or before, you land it, be sure to pull 400-1100 yards of way too thick mono or braid off your reel/z, and leave that strewn all around the beach in several large tangles. If someone's dog isn't caught, or someone else isn't actively picking up, the giant line mess you created because...

I saw one last year out in the middle of Commencement Bay, in August, during salmon season.. from far away, I thought it was a big stump floating in the water, but once I got closer, saw it was an elephant seal. Felt like it was getting some sun on its head, or looking around, it didn't move at...

This. I would work on the base first too.

I had water up past my headlights in a stock Ford ranger once.. on my first morning ever going steelheading in norcal. After a 4 hr drive, I followed the gazetteer to what looked like a good access point, but what looked like a long 1' deep puddle on the dirt access road to the gravel bar was...

Not if you delete all the data...

Not a barrier, although it likely involves doing something different than is currently done. We get checked for fishing licenses and gear, multiple approaches could be used that are similar in the reporting space. Daily log in before you fish, a tag system, etc. Used on BC Rivers all the...

As I have said elsewhere recently, the above is all information that could be more effectively and more broadly captured by the device 90+% of anglers have in their pocket all day. Most especially, the fish Washington app. can easily have this functionality (I 100% know a little team of...

Slight update: I took the kids out yesterday to fish truck trout without charging my batteries from the last Puget Sound SRC session. Added 4-5 hrs or so of trolling around a lake at 1-1.5 mph yesterday without the batteries giving up, or even seeming tired. I think I have run those batteries...

https://nwycffa.com/ They run a fly fishing camp for youth.. many students could access and have these materials.

Wasn't me. I didn't grow up there, came later for work when I lived in Reno.

What's really the problem is that WA has a whole bunch of fisheries that are "limited by monitoring data", roughly using their words, and doesn't even try electronic tools for that data collection. The real tragedy is that there is no digital version of our salmon and steelhead reporting card...

The best detail I was told was that running without using your arms, while getting that "arms hanging straight down" special bigfoot look is much harder than it seems, especially if the terrain is rough. It takes practice to keep your biomechanics in character, especially in the heat of the...

I also have it on good authority that whatever the hell lives up by Sonora Pass out near the Lost World climbing area is 100% real and definitely terrifying and scary. Multiple regular people will no longer go back there. It's been called both bigfoot and chupacabra, so I don't really know...

I have it on good authority that a number of bigfoot sightings in the Plumas National Forest area of the Sierras can be explained by a group of high school students who acquired a very realistic ape costume and used it for years. In retrospect, they consider themselves very lucky they did not...

Just playing around with charging times, speeds, etc I sort of calculated that I think I could go at least 12-15 miles on the TM, at a minimum, without any tidal assist. I trolled at 1.5+ mph nearly all afternoon on a lake one day with the kids, and it didn't take very long to recharge at all...

I have 2 100 ah lithiums running my 24V 80# terrova riptide TM. I got $$$ Dakotas because they had an 11 yr warranty and they are a US based company, though the batteries are made overseas. I have run my TM all day, 8+ hrs, and I don't think I have ever even used 30% of their capacity because...

I might look at the length of the warranty period to get an idea. The longest lithium battery warrantees are around 10-12 years I think? But not cheap. Plus just looking at reviews and searching the company name before you buy is always a good idea.
