    Gum Wall

    No, not that god awful thing downtown that makes me want to puke..... But this more pleasant view, one we've all seen in different iterations. Now this tiny Montana town fly shop "sticker wall" is pretty epic, enjoy. c/22

    Grayling in a Stillwater setting

    Have a lake about 70 miles from of me that's planted with Grayling & Westslope cutts. Planning on spending a day there of my 1 week fishing vacation as I've always wanted to catch one. Sounds like the Grayling are typically aggressive and will take a dry if there's a hatch going off. This lake...

    Kootenai Unicorn

    The local bank maggots plunk below the dam at night with big baits. They always haul out some overweight bows. This fish actually looks more athletic was caught roughly 4 miles below the tailrace

    Kootenai Unicorn

    Check this thing out, off my home river known for native red bands in the 12-16" range. This unicorn fell victim to a big brass Kastmaster in some heavy chop. I think it was planning on a native bronze colored squawfish for dinner & got a mouthful of steel instead. Kinda a shame, because if...

    This place probably deserves its own thread 😎 Agree, it would have been a cool place to hang out. Looks like it was designed to drain a sporting guys paycheck as they would cash them there....🤕 Restaurant & bar, pool tables guns and ammo fishing gear. Even a barber shop! Think I was at the...

    Funny now that I think about it but Dad didn't that much in Sears branded fishing gear. He must have got his at Warshalls or Ben Paris.

    Nice stories here. My Dad's job was evaluating the broken tools that were returned to his Seattle store. It must have been for information to the higher ups as the customer was going to get a new tool regardless. Or as I think about it the larger items might be repaired & send back out to...
