Ah yes, back to the saga. 2 sheets of ACX handled the job. 1 4x8 sheet for the main deck area, the other cut and spliced for the foredeck and the small sidedeck pieces. The original pieces where some extra was required used a bazillion steel staples to hook them together, I've chosen glued half...

Cool! I got a set of plans some years ago, they remain unbuilt in a drawer around here somewhere. Maybe after I finish my current boat project it’ll be time….i look forward to the videos!

Stairs too steep.

The Washington State Legislature focused on expanding the Western Washington bird release program into Eastern Washington, and on promoting the “Pheasant Preserve” private hunting program statewide. They decimated the wild bird program. That coupled with ag practices minimizing cover and food...

A lot of good rules above. Safety rules summary and checklist for me. PFD, my own, because it fits. Anytime I float on anything.. Herkileez' wading staff. Industral strength essential safety equipment, especially with todays "sticky rubber" wading boots. Everytime I'm in moving water. PFD...

Similar here, though not as eager, breezy, 54 degree water, good viz, most fish marked in 15-25 feet of water. Almost 4 hours, 1 12” fish to hand, lotta short strikes, this guy took a double blob, 22” thick healthy fish

I carried a 12’ alumacraft in the bed of my short box f150 for years. Needed to tie it in fom the bow, and tie the stern down inside the bed, and then it was no problem. Snug it down on tour rack and yiu should be fine.

Generally, radiation is not bad. But, that being said, everyone responds differently. Here's some keys to getting through it. First: Get your rest. The fatigue will build slowly, but eventually cannot be ignored and you will be hard pressed to catch up. You'll want to have energy for the chemo...

His words and stories are like a comfortable old sweatshirt, a pleasant way to spend an evening with a reading light and a scotch. I never met him, but all of us feel we knew him to some degree. I suppose one could hardly say better of a writer in this niche sport. Whether his collected...

It’s not simple. Still the best discussion I’ve seen: https://digitalcommons.law.seattleu.edu/sulr/vol28/iss4/4/ The WAC you seek is Ch. 332-30-106 WAC.

Epic trophy. Well done!

Ah, decisions, decisions. First, on the thru-hulls for the livewell. I kept it. The fittings themselves were only hand tight, and came out easily. The sealant around them was toast. I went looking for a plug for the holes, and the only thing I found satisfactory was "Weld 'em up". Aluminum...

though these seem tongue-in-cheek, they are meant to answer your questions as best I can. 1. Well, presuming you're in a lake with wind induced current, I'd cast downwind. It's easier. Or, I'd cast in the general direction of rising fish. For me, that's usually 42 degrees (northeast) ;) If...

I haven’t harvested or pursued big game for nearly 20 years. My dog, on the other hand, finds roadkill deer and the recent remains of other vertebrates in my area quite attractive, bringing them home and coating himself frequently. I confess to enjoying game meat as a delicious addition. I...

They close Coffeepot to protect waterfowl during the migration.

I think you’re right about the livewell. I’ll need to figure out how to plug the through-hulls, but I can’t be the first to do that. I’m thinking I”ll leave the box and the drain. I’ll cut the drain hose to drain to the bilge, insulate the livewell box with expando-foam, and viola! Instant ice...

In the tradition of Evan, I'm setting out to spruce up and repair a new to me boat. See https://pnwflyfishing.com/forum/index.php?threads/evans-boat-projects-floor-replacement.6292/ for further inspiration. This project I figure will take all winter. The boat at the center of our story: a...

Great year for you! I'm hoping for next year...

I had an absolutely great day on the Madison below Ennis in October some years ago. The canyon section from Norris down is pretty wind shadowed, and there's monster browns in there. Just another point.

I wrote a review of my Edge 4 wt. 9'6" single some time ago. I guess I don't disagree, the esthetics are not spectacular, it's quite castable and fishable, ya gotta wait, I got the tube, sock and rod all at once. For the price, I love it. For 3 time the price, it's okay, but likey won't get me...
