    Sky not until Nov 1st.

    I commented on the South Fork Sky & tribs BS on the following page- https://engage.wdfw.wa.gov/nof2026recreationalcr102 **EDIT- And BTW, they are proposing an even shorter season! The Saturday before Memorial day to June 30.** Please consider doing the same. I didn't hold back. I also sent a...

    Sky not until Nov 1st.

    Thanks for the great insight Curt. I have written my US rep Kim Schrier and will write my Senators and state foks as well. The fact that NOAA included the waters above Sunset as an ESU is ridiculous. Is that water good spawning and rearing habitat? Yeah, probably. I'm sure the native trout...

    Sky not until Nov 1st.

    And this is complete bullshit as well- So I can't fish my #14 Elk Hair Caddis on the Miller in August or Sept because I might "encounter" a king.

    Starlink User Opinions

    Oh I'm aware of why they think they have to do it. I just don't agree with it. So the network is too crowded for me unless I pay a $1000 fee? Some areas are $1500 now. So if everyone just keeps paying the fee will they actually improve the network for all the new subscribers? They don't state...

    Starlink User Opinions

    I'm in the SE Seattle metro area suburbs, just east of Kent. Comcast is the big wired provider here. T-Mobile & Verizon both have 5G boxes that provide great 300-400 Mbps speeds for a wireless solution. Both that work in a power outage as long as you plug their power source into a generator...

    The giant ditch on the Oregon/Washington border

    If you are in waters like the Columbia that have freshwater Asian clams like these guys- Then the "special" carp fly is the Hybrid by John "Montana" Bartlett. It is the GOAT on any water with them, which is pretty much anything touching or connected the Columbia. Even places like Lake Tapps...

    Finally on the board for 2026

    Played around with CapCut for a little video action. Not that I need any extra stoke for more carpin. 😁

    Nice write-up. It's on my wish list.

    Most regrettably the time has come

    So sorry man. Keep fighting and I hope someone enjoys the boat as much as you have.

    OMJ flies still catching fish

    For those that have been around while...meaning you were on the other board back in the day, you know who OMJ was. Well, you may also remember a nice guy that went by spanishfly. His name is Dennis Cordova and I had the pleasure of not only fishing with him, but also worked with him at T-Mobile...

    Finally on the board for 2026

    After a full day on Saturday, I was hopeful to get out carpin. Or caprin? Well, the stars aligned and I was out the door...the 2nd time, by 8:45. I got about 1/2 mile from home and remembered I'd forgotten the paddle for the Carp Commander. Very glad I remembered...that I had forgot then. That...

    2026 Swap & Shop Official Thread

    I'm not able to make it. I have both fun family stuff as well as sad friend stuff tomorrow. I'm waiting to see if I'm free on Sunday, but if I am, I'll be trying to catch a darn capr before May ends. Have a great time guys!

    Two Fly Question

    If there's buzzers poppin then I'll go bruised leech on the bottom and a midge (Gray Boy, Zebra or red & black) on top and fish fairly shallow. If no buzzers going then leech on the top and bloodworm on the bottom, 6" to a foot off the bottom. If the electronics aren't showing what depth the...

    Longview Pulp Plant

    My son's best friend was one of the Longview firefighters that responded. Not a whole lot they could do. Crazy big fire. He was safe. We haven't asked him any details as he's probably still processing what is probably the biggest fire and death count of his fairly young career. Praying for...

    AIS inspection sites between Seattle and Butte

    When did you experience the Cle Elum one as quick? If it's lately, that's good news. I sure hope it's quicker than the times I've stopped there. The first stop was about 25 minutes and the 2nd time was almost 15. I haven't stopped the last few times. I check and clean my raft and boat so I'm not...

    Carp Commander 2.0

    Ok, 1.0 was decent, but the 7/16" platform was not as strong and stable as I wanted. It was also noisy. The camp chair was not great paddling and also very noisy. And it wasn't fishy! Never landed a capr on the damn thing. That's probably not it's fault, but hey...😁 Enter 2.0... The previous...
