    Pucker up

    Except it doesn't. That's the strange part. He's got a 2001 F-150, I've got a 2006 Silverado 1500. Both 1/2 Ton trucks. In fact the official GVWR on mine is a tad higher. Weird.

    Pucker up

    Same breakdown as me except mine was 110 where yours is 140. 2006 Silverado 1/2T. Not sure why it’s $30 different.

    Pucker up

    I think it's the gross weight fees that are driving up the cost. @Rob Allen said it's for a truck. For fun I just checked online for my 2006 1/2T Silverado, and looks like it's going to be $137 total this year, $120 of that is Gross Weight fees. If Rob's got a heavy 3/4 or 1T, I can see it...

    WDFW Digital license

    I opted for the paper version this year, in order to wait and see how the digital version works out for folks. I didn’t like the fact that you had to choose one OR the other.

    New boat project?

    I saw it on Reddit this morning, very cool and would be a fun project for sure.

    Wanted 4wt, 5wt, or 6wt blank

    Those rods are SWEET... I built the 6 and 7 weight switches. Highly recommend!

    Official Beach Line Thread

    Interesting.... Head length looks to be identical to the OBS (9.3m = 30') but the weights are even heavier than the OBS. 247 grains for the 6 weight and 278 grains for the 7. (My notes say the OBS is 235 gr for the 6 and 265 gr for the 7).

    Yellow perch…

    What would the best flies / methods be if one were to intentionally target perch in the basin lakes? I’m thinking a small jig type minnow imitation under and indicator, twitched back? Or maybe a similar minnow imitation on a clear intermediate (or deeper sink) stripped back. Are these...

    Yellow perch…

    Need to organize a PNWFF fish fry! Set up a camp kitchen at Quincy, then everybody goes out, gets as many fat perch as possible and have a deep fried feast.

    NFR Dogs With Food Allergies?

    Our dog has had some horrific bouts with diarrhea over the years. The kind that has had me up and awake for 24 hours straight doing multiple loads of laundry with windows open trying to de-odorize the house, afraid to go to sleep lest I miss another accident. And one time an uncontrolled shart...

    Seeger watch

    So, from west to east, does the chain go Nunnally - Merry - Bobby - Lenice? Or do I have Merry and Bobby backwards?

    Annual License fees 2026-2027

    Didn't we used to have a special something or other for fishing the Columbia tribs a few years ago? Maybe it was just a separate punch card you had to get. I got my license yesterday and saw the CRSSE, but didn't realize it was actually a new fee. I just thought it was a new acronym.

    What's in your vise?

    Looks good otherwise! Would love to see your rendition of a Grand Ronde River Rat sometime, I always dug that pattern.

    Bad cold or something viral

    Yeah, there was a bad cold going around this year. I had it in December and haven't had a cold that bad in at least 10 years, it hung on for a while and finished up with that chest congestion. Did the home test for Covid and it was negative. And there was no fever or anything, I think it...

    Very sad day…..

    I learned that trick watching an episode of the Rockford Files, and used to use it on my old Mustang when I parked it in an area where I thought it might get stolen. :D

    Lunch on the water!

    Wow Bill, you really get around! Do any fishing while you're over there?

    Brisket secrets

    I have that same smoker Bill. I always struggled to get it to stay at a constant temp of 225-ish. It was always a roller coaster and just a tiny tiny adjustment of the flame would send it skyrocketing or plummeting as the wood burned more or less and contributed to the heat. I’m eager to...
