Got a bunch of smoked pinks I need to work into the menu. Do you have a chowder recipe that you like?

I'm the least religious person I know, but as I've gotten older I've come to appreciate the many centuries of wisdom embedded in the "Seven Deadly Sins." Seems like there's a pretty solid bang-for-the-buck in the realm of long-term happiness/contentment that comes with just avoiding...

"Stone him!!! Stone him!!!"

No spots of course, but I'd love to hear some king on the fly stories - just pattern, gear, time of year, type of water, presentation,

Have you tried just rinsing it or pressure washing? I've got a ton of "crazing" on the interior of my '75 Whaler but restoring that is a project that's going to have to wait until my kids are grown up.

Thats what they claim but their various business ventures suggest that their principles are versatile enough to accommodate such an arrangement if the terms are favorable enough.

God bless YouTube.

Ha. Other than fishing I my major focus when I'm out on the water is not being that guy!

Was enough of a pain trying to find someone to do the 3-year/300hr service on my little E-Tec that I just picked up a bootleg copy of the diagnostics software and a shop manual and did it myself.

Seems wicked cheap compared to what ethanol-infused gas does to small engines!

I've concluded that the only way for sportfishermen to get a seat at the table would be to buy one by giving the tribes a substantial cut of the revenue from selling fishing licenses necessary to fish for anadromous fish, and possibly special permits to fish in specified zones/regions...

Thanks to everyone for the feedback and suggestions! Not too long after I made the original post someone in my family had some health issues come up, and getting that sorted out left basically zero time for some of my other routine distractions. Thankfully those are pretty well settled for...

I pretty much just follow the standard playbook - points of land, rips, bait, diving birds, etc - and if there's surface activity so much the better. More often than not I'll be fairly close to the shore, but if I see some combination of factors resulting in fishy looking water further out I'll...

I'm trying to settle a debate with my wife regarding the futility or non-futility of my efforts to target coho with a fly rod. She's heard several other people that do fairly well gear-fishing declare that it's somewhere between impossible and a waste of time. My comeback is that it's neither...

It's an n-of-1 but the one person I've talked to that used the black-plastic-sheeting method counted it as an unqualified success. If it was me I think I'd go with the "Level first, kill later" approach but that's obviously just a personal preference.

Asking people to consider the impact of non-tribal harvest of anadromous fish in marine waters in the present is probably going to be a more effective tactic for persuading people to adopt a fair and judicious view of tribal-fisheries than invoking heritable collective guilt for events that...

Everyone involved realizes that refusing to piggyback on the tribes' permit, sitting out NOF, and shutting down all non-tribal fishing outside of lakes would threaten the current status quo, which is precisely why it'll never happen.

Take care of yourself, Nick! I have a pretty average frame and recently discovered that I'll needed to go on statins to reduce my cholesterol, so I think health problems come for all of us in one form or another how we're built. That, and turning 50 soon with relatively young kids, have had me...

Interesting contemplating how far I'd have to drive just to practice spey casting with the big rod on moving water on the east side of the PS this this year. Outside of the Sky hatchery zone seems like it'd be a bit of a haul. Might be time to make one of those special leaders that let you load...

I recall hearing someone who sounded like they knew what they were talking about declare that sea-lions are now more abundant than they were when Lewis and Clark landed, because of the extent of native hunting. Could be complete BS, but sounded vaguely plausible. Would be interested to hear from...
