I kayak fly fished a few days there July 2014. Caught pinks as expected, but I also saw small.schools of very nice coho moving through the saltwater shallows south of town, at tidally dependent times. At the time, I did not know what to do in that situation, but now, I wish I had those days...

I have never disconnected anything when using my minnkota 2 bank charger for a 24V lithium battery system. I have 2 12V 100 ah Dakota batteries. Charging seems to always work fine, although I notice the battery closer to the TM usually takes 15-30 min longer to full charge. Not sure why. The...

Damn, as usual. Cool that you got lucky enough to have some of the best water of the year, that's not common on fishing trips. Did you ever get come back strikes, trying to leave a struck fly in the water twitching for a second chance fish? Or are they all one and done for sure? That's also...

Went out Saturday evening at LD. Left after a hour or so as tides were getting poor and when me and 125 of my closest friends only caught 2. They are around on the right night/tide.

Did they follow the big chum run into the creeks to eat eggs?

This is when you know you have definitely sinned and the gods are very angry at you...

I would fish every single one of those...

Less shrimp oil will help.

That doesn't look like one I would stop and pick or eat. You need to cut the stem and see what color it bleeds to know more.

I was striped bass fishing out of Annapolis one time, and while heading across the Chesapeake to the spot, we came across a doe swimming west, trying to make the full crossing for some reason. I suspect the deer didn't make it, because it was maybe 3-4 miles from shore already, and had maybe 4-5...

Sounds like a minor detail to me.. 😈

I think a canoe is one of the least safe options for someone solo, especially late season in cold water and heavy clothes. They can sink fast and are hard to empty solo. I almost died for real when a wind gust tipped me out of my canoe, on a half ice covered pond. I'd find and use a mini...

I don't actually have any real skill with the long rod beyond can make it fish, and I mostly don't use Rage heads in favor of full scandi/skagit, but I throw a 450 rage on a 7127 rod when I do use one. 420 sounds right for 6126. Why not skip the Rage and just run a Scandi setup? It's not...

I sent in a rod to Sage for repair, broke the butt section on a fish hookset, on Sept 12, and just received shipping notification for them to send it back to me today. Month or so seems fair for a repair. I like to strongly like some of my Sage rods like the Z axis, and am ambivalent about...

I still have a 10' Koffler whitewater pram on a trailer for sale, just because it's not getting used much. PM me if interested, or look it up in classifieds.

I didn't read the article, but I hope he was standing on the St. Vrain fishing when the big one hit, either in real life or in spirit.

Like Jasmillo, I also had a beach season where most days were a grind and work to get your fish. Fish were decently around for me until the last half of Sept, when I had a mix of 0 and okayish days. I kept waiting for the awesome wild fish day, but that didn't happen for me in late September...

You are supposed to take the fly off the hook keeper before using. Nailing 2 fish like that, even when fouled by a tree branch, you have very seriously legit fishing skills, I bow very deeply and would like to purchase this fly from you as well as a video of your unique fishing techniques.

The mushrooms in Pierce County already popped something fierce. Got 8-10 lbs Sunday morning, leaving behind everything that wasn't a sashimi grade mushroom. I think the mycelium will be tired after this year.

To be precise, I believe I said "are you serious??", with strong indications of profound disbelief, several times, before I looked at the knot and reached for the scissors. I just don't comprehend how you go with double bimini on one end of your fly line, and perfection loop on the other...
