    Float Pumps

    I have the k mini that I keep in any inflatable I happen to be in. Great for a top off but could be a life saver (arm breaker) in a emergency. HOWEVER here is my absolute new fav. https://www.dewalt.com/product/dce100b/20v-max-compact-jobsite-blower-tool-only Kinda pricey but bomb proof...

    NFR Installing mini-split ductless AC/Heating system?

    Look at MrCool. https://mrcool.com/ These are units designed for DIY with precharged lines. I installed one in a new garage shop I built. Very very easy. One hole in the wall. Of course you have to have the appropriate wiring. Mine was a 30 amp circuit I installed while building. Nothing is all...

    Non-Fly Jig Twitching pointers

    I tried it for the first last year to great success! The most important factor I found was there to be a wack of fish in the river. Then nothing else seemed to matter….

    OP Closures

    Summer SRC chasing has been a staple for me. Super low water eliminates the crowds due to the significant challenges that low water imposes on most of the runs. Fishing this way I’ve never touched a Chinook. I guess I get it. Poachers could claim that they’re just after SRC. But man most of...

    Cooler/Ice Chest recommendations

    A lot of keeping things cold is cooler management. How often it’s opened, how long it’s opened, keeping it covered etc. We’ve had ice at the end of 16 day 100+ degree Grand Canyon trips with one person being in charge of managing the coolers. Experiment with your beer. You can pre freeze! Works...

    What have you done for your boat lately?

    Just use these https://www.nrs.com/nrs-1-loop-straps/pkvc Don’t need the fancy rings. I also use loop straps for my oar keepers on the oars in my hands. Easiest method to keep them attached when you want them attached and unattended when you don’t.

    Outcast Striker with frame added

    Hey Thomas, I haven’t heard back from the builder in OR, I’m thinking he may be out of business. That frame builder is, rowframe.com. Anyone out there know if they are still around? I’ve also contacted DRE about a build. DIY is on the list. I’ve used the same Zoro connectors. Major frame...

    Tribes fish and WDFW roll over again.

    Yeah you’re right. I’m not commenting on the pro or con just that it existed. I love that river. I’ve hiked it, boated it, fished it. Along with a few other folks we were the first to boat from the old upper dam site to the mouth. I watched the entire process of radical change from on the river...
