My path involved a bit of bouncing around, beginning with salmon hatchery management (college), fisheries research, biotech, and then microbiology research and teaching. The path was not linear. I have been doing what I am doing for a bunch of years now, and I remain happy in the biz. There...

Thanks for the blueprint-roll-storer idea. I just bought one.

Add me to the “thumbs up” group regarding Sage/Redington rod service. It’s really not that hard to do what they ask. I also have a Sonic rod in their system, it’s been no problem so far.

That is great news! Hopefully you can get out again soon.

Love the bonzai island!

Wow! Great stuff.

...but only caught this. Day one was wonderful. The night was cold and the next day was awful. This mist was howling across the water. Me and my pontoon tried for an hour or two but decided to cut our losses.

Wow. Very nice.

Another question- where do all the dead ones end up? I envision a few huge piles of rotting shad on the bottom of some current breaks.

I went looking for shad up around Bonneville yesterday- very windy but I caught a few. One of them had very red fins and there were obvious blood vessels all over the operculum and mouth parts. I don't catch a lot of these things, so it was surprising to me when I got that one. Is this...

Great report. Top-ten for the year. Another fine example of what it is all about.

Great effort! I bet it was beautiful.

I have a taker.

New and/or unblemished.

I had worked at the Cowlitz salmon hatchery the summer and year before, primarily as a scuba diver vacuuming up fish poop in the raceways. A crazy job by the way. I was a fisheries major at UW, and the week before the eruption I led a field trip to the hatchery for a class we were in. My little...

Well done!

Tough to make primers for this crew…

Oh – I think we could make primers. Bigfoot is probably a hominid, and there are enough highly conserved sequences in hominid ribosomal DNA, and so few North American hominids (N = 1)… that we could make primers in the highly conserved regions and look for variation in between. I think we’d have...

A couple things. I read this entire thread a couple times and I saw mention of "bigfeet" only once. Why always one? Are there no families here? How does Bigfoot propagate? Next- there are so many studies nowadays of "eDNA" in waterways. DNA is very stable. Where is the bigfoot signature in all...

I’m a longtime Beaver fan, snd I am inclined toward underdogs in almost every single tournament in any sport. But for some reason, I really like Duke. What is wrong with me?
