I haven't had a chance to cast it overhand with anything other than the Commando line and that's always clunky. It doesn't seem like that heavy of a rod. I've got a #5 line I'm going to try on it before I buy anything heavier. I'll try to report back.

Just finished building this 10' #6 rod. I bought the NFC blank with still water indicator fishing in mind. It has a removable fighting butt. I went out today and threw a 250 grain Commando Groove with a tip on it and it casted pretty well two handed. I think I'll build a longer handle to swap...

Our induction is a JennAire brand and have never had any issues with it. I think we purchased it in 2009. The features Buzzy mentions above are true. The only draw back I can think of is that it's a glass top and you have to be careful with big heavy stuff like cast iron.

We've been using an electric induction stove for the last last 15 years. I like it. It's a snap to clean. We use mostly stainless cookware but my wife cooks with cast iron on it too. You have to use induction ready cookware so we had to buy some new pots and pans. I've never cooked with gas...

I've heard (don't really remember who told me this) the barometric pressure affects larger bodies of water. Seems this had more to do with steelhead fishing, and that smaller rivers like the Stilly would be less affected than the Skagit or Sauk. Pretty sure the barometric pressure would have...

Thank you for that info. It's one of two reels I own with a drag system. I hadn't fished it in years and forgot about how crappy it performs when wet.

I saw the last surviving parr dangling from some tool's spinning rod under Cicero Bridge last July as I drove to work.

That is a #1 chartruse Dick Nite that has been seriously beat up on the back cast. A switch rod solves that issue. The #0 size cast better but I have more confidence in the #1. The larger ones make a cool whizzing sound in the air too! Bull trout like them also. The humpies not so much. The drag...

NFFR Swung up on the big river last weekend with the single hander.

Eastsiders are cool. Not built like tanks but nice and light weight. Love the way the floors move when sliding over rocks!

I remember my mom getting pissed when my dad went and bought a color tv after church one Sunday in 1976 so we could watch the Seahawks game. I was 12 at the time. I'm watching the games on my 17 year old 720p Pioneer plasma now. Maybe time for a new color tv. Of course that means a new AVR too...

The guy in Lake Stevens closed his doors a fews years ago I think. I always meant to take one of his classes. I ended up home schooling myself last year and built a few switch and spey rods. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpWm_lwZasbYG56Wo9uy6lA

USMC u signed the motherfuckin contract I wasn't like I was drafted. Just an idiot. Your welcome!

I use my switch rods for swinging streamers on a sink tip or surface flies on a floating line. I have switch rods weights 2/3,4/5, 5/6 and an 8. I've fished the 5/6 and 8 sizes for years. They work great for steelhead and bull trout. Last year I built some lighter rods and they have proven to be...

I’m a little over two years from pulling the plug I think. I’ll be 61. I like my job but the financial trade-off of working longer doesn’t make sense for me. My wife and I used to talk of moving when we retire but not as much any more. For me, as long as there are fishing opportunities near by...

He was a little before my time too. I was born in 64'. He had a little resurgence in the 80's and 90's I think.
