I realize this could be an impossible dream but you never know. Light/Cheap/Strong pick two. Two Novembers ago the gal, doggo, and I drove down to Baja (TR here) in a GMC 1500 with a Scout camper that we borrowed from her brother. We laughed, we cried, we hurled. The truck now belongs to us...

it's yours. I replied to your DM

New w tags! Long enough to hold 9’ fly rod tubes. https://eaglecreek.com/products/migrate-wheeled-duffel-130l?srsltid=AfmBOooRUu62Dp0JmoRQNC6ER4dG6vDy2yvgN9K38lxHA_TX86Hyb5f_ $110 plus whatever shipping

Chenille, yarn, marabou, hackle, and who knows what else. I have far too much stuff and I’ll never use it all. You gotta take all of it but it’s free! Tubs not included.

Having not tried the 10wt BB I still wouldn’t hesitate; I love my 6wt and 8wt in that series. Although now that I’ve been using the 84b series (even from the beach!), my BB 6wt and 8wt aren’t getting as much use. I do have an unused backup 10wt Ion XL that I don’t need if that’s of interest to...

You're probably right! 30 years on snow with ~22 at a somewhat professional level. The ER doc in Kamloops was shocked that this was my first ACL given the use/abuse I've subjected my body to. I've had a couple other "season modifying" injuries to both knees over the years but this is my first...

Thanks for the vibes folks. Sucks for sure, but I'll be back at some point (light groomers next spring?) I know a ton of folks that have gone down this road before and have fully recovered so I'm going to take my time, do what the Dr and PT says, and turn my "shred the slopes" energy into "shred...

The doc said "It could be worse, but it could be a lot better. This is a significant injury." The PT said "This is not a career ending injury but it's a career altering injury." This is my life for the foreseeable future. Got one more doc consult, a bunch of "pre-hab", then I suspect I go under...

There are some mysterious killer whales bopping around Puget Sound! Keep your eyes peeled. Orca Network on FB has some great sighting reports from yesterday.

I’ll send some materials to you asap. Don’t be afraid to fish your earliest abominations, even if they look nothing like what you’re trying to mimic. Much of the time the fish aren’t as judgmental as humans are! Or, if your attempt is so brutal you can’t bear to fish it, just cut the material...

If you want, I’m happy to send you a bunch of dubbing, feathers, and various other materials including some hooks that might help you get started. I’ve got more redundancy than I’ll ever need. Books are great. There are a ton of great YouTube videos for virtually any pattern you want to learn.

The system seems to have no problem finding me if I'm one day out of date with my tabs. I once got a ticket for expired tabs while I was in the office getting my new tabs. I went straight to the judge and showed the time on my receipt and the time on the ticket were within minutes of each other...

I likely joined the ACL club the other day up in Canada. Of all the things I've done on snow this was probably the lamest, most benign thing I can think of to take me out: skiing with kiddos in the pinky park at the literal very bottom of Sun Peaks, literally meters from my hotel. I didn't even...

After falling in love with the 84b series which made my normal 9’ rods feel sluggish (which made my 9’6” feel extra sluggish), I wonder if I’d get along with a 9’3”

My favorite prepared heat sources: Barnacle Seafoods kelp chili crisp great on tacos, eggs, sushi/fish, just about anything. Lao Gan Ma black bean chili crisp but it's much saltier than the above so use with discretion. For instance, I won't use this on an eggy sammy if I also have bacon or ham...

I do have a Lamson Liquid 10wt whatever size that is but I think I need that. I'll double check the situation and let you know.

I have an Echo Ion XL 10wt that I got as a backup and have never used. I'd sell it for $200 + shipping if necessary.

Look at that bill! Definitely a red footed booby. Blue foots aren’t very common on Xmas island.

Red footed booby, brown or black noddy (I can never tell them apart unless I see them next to each other) and sooty terns. Great TR! Someday…
