    Tuna 2024

    FWIW a Phenergan-Scopalamine speedball kept me mostly functional out there. Might be of some use fir folks like me that have to white-knucle it on carnival rides with their kids but still want to ocean fush from time to time. Only unpleasant and unforseen side effect was the combo made it damn...

    Tuna 2024

    Anyone toss out one of those multi-minnow patterns on a trip this year? IIRC I saw those posted on a thread a while ago and thought it looked like a cool idea and worth taking a flyer on if nothing else was working. FWIW on my one trip the fun-to-tie-but-probably-won't-work semi-novelty fly I...

    Wading jacket?

    Patagonia SST has been great. Probably not the best choice if you never wade deep but a very good choice if you do.

    Lago Strobel Question

    That's one of the South American destinations that's on my bucket-list, so even though it's literally the polar opposite of the response you were looking for, I'd be very interested in hearing both your impressions of JLL and why you're considering ELV for another trip.

    YouTube's greatest use... fixing your appliances

    I've found myself using ChatGPT for the initial troubleshooting and using YouTube to make the actual repair lately. Hopefully it'll be content with doing things like helping me identify a faulty pressure switch on our washing machine before it goes HAL-5000 on us....

    Tuna 2024

    Awesome report! I've had a very eventful year - my Mom came down with Sarcoma (thankfully survived with clean reports ~9 months out) and had to take the helm when it came time to settle two very complicated estates in another state (one was a nice but extremely eccentric and reclusive uncle...

    NFR Rivian R1T Driven Yesterday

    If you're looking for that kind of critical analysis applied to not only electric cars, but the entire proposition that it's possible to power modern civilization by harvesting intermittent, weather dependent energy sources there are a couple of podcasts that you might enjoy. The "Power...

    Snohomish/Skykomish get screwed

    Was thinking/hoping they'd re-open the Snoho system after 11/31 since there won't be many salmon left to impact after that point but who knows....

    Snohomish/Skykomish get screwed

    Is there still a winter hatchery program on the Sky or are the only hatchery plants for the summer broodstock program?

    NFR Any actual good online "black friday" or "cyber monday" deals you found?

    The amount you save on a single monthly housing payment would cover an awful lot of BTUs! All of the downsides of living in the NE are real, but when I was touring around the area during a 3 year stint in the NE, Upstate NY in particular seemed under-rated relative to a lot of the rest of the...

    NFR Any actual good online "black friday" or "cyber monday" deals you found?

    Upstate NY is a very under-rated in many dimensions when it comes to the outdoors and the cost of housing is almost comically low. This is what $125K gets you: https://www.redfin.com/NY/Rochester/138-Mount-Airy-Dr-14617/home/72562197

    Anyone missing a "Fly Fishing Rod" (NIB Burkie 8134-4)

    Could be perfectly legit but not the way anyone I know who bought a Burkie for their own use would go about listing it for sale. Thought I'd post just in case someone has a "Fly Fishing Rod" with that serial number that's gone missing.

    The "How was your weekend?" thread...

    Took the climbing gear out of the gear-closet/mausoleum for the first time since 2017. Always thought it was sadly ironic that when I was finally in a place to move my gear from tubs stuffed wherever to a proper gear closet was about the time it became next to impossible to get out and use it.🤣

    URGENT! IS THIS A SCAM?

    Pretty much any inbound e-mail or call claiming that you need to confirm or update anything pertaining to any account you may have is a scam.

    Columbia & Snake/Clearwater comparison

    Interesting. Must be spring-fed - at least in the lower stretch?

    Columbia & Snake/Clearwater comparison

    That number for the Tucannon is quite striking. Must be heading to a hatchery fairly low on the river based on what I've seen of that drainage while driving by. Looks like marginal carp habitat, at least in the summer.
