If you miss out and you’re in the puget sound, Washington FFI is having a casting fair in Issaquah in April. https://www.tickettailor.com/events/washingtonflyfishersinternational/1973309

I had such a blast a couple of years ago. I met a ton of famous (and other not famous) people, all of whom were just very personable and charming and fun to talk to while they tied, I learned a great deal. I learned, for example, no fancy vise required, a couple of vise grips on a board work...

Ah, well, that makes it easy.

There was no ability online for the WA Columbia River Trib endorsement. Is it wrapped into the regular license?

For precipitaiton for the water year, here in the Northwest all basins are pretty close or slightly above the 1991-2020 median value. For Snow water equivalent, for the water year the outlook is somewhere between horrible and ghastly in the Cascades/Coast Ranges, but just pretty dry (66% or...

My wife grows peppers. Doesn't eat them. Not as sauce, ingredients, etc. She's a total chowderhead. But she grows some mean peppers. I let them dry, or dry them in a food dehydrator, then I remove the stems, put'm in a blender with some water and vinegar, and grind'm up. I calll it Guy's...

Yeah, the cost of everything is up. Licenses too. I am happy with the mobile option so I no longer need tote the 18 feet of receipt paper in my pockets for hunting/waterfowl/tags/steelhead punch cards/etc. etc. As an old guy, I'm confused about or ignorant of how or if I need a catch record...

Nice looking brisket. Spendy, nowadays, eh? Franklin's seasoning profile is nice. Post oak only if you can find it, otherwise apple or cherry, but unless you're experienced no hickory. You can overdo hickory very easily, and everything will taste like creosote. Unless of course you like...

Politics aside, he was one of Dr. King’s last remaining protégés . A generation of commitment is passing replaced by, well I don’t really know. Politics back in the discussion, you never doubted where he stood. I really can’t say better than that.

At 95 years old. He's one of my favorite actors, it always seemed he was the character he played, not the other way around. There's lots of clips you'll see I'm sure, from Apocalypse Now, or countless other roles, even To Kill A Mockingbird for goodness sakes. This is one of my favorites.

And my boat upgrade (+MOB system) is ready….it seems like I oughta be hunting carp…what say you???

Drying your stuff (waders, especially boots, boats, etc) is the first, best step. If there’s no time, remove all dirt/debris and sanitize with a dilute bleach or ammonia solution (one or the other, not both, 2.5 oz/gallon of water) and you’ll be okay. In both cases wash off any debris or dirt...

Vans are great,aren't they?

If we don't get some significant storms between now and April 1 it's gonna be a dry, dry fire season. Maybe it will anyway. With respect to the 20 year median ending 2020, most snowpack numbers right now south or west of Spokane are at best 50%, east and north of here the good snowpack numbers...

I was there in 2024…what a great time! Go if you can…

FYI, if you haven't tried a K-pump, you should. I use it for my Southfork and my 2-Salt Steelhead, way better than those foot jobbies and those stupid hook-to-your-battery things, or the huge handle pumps. I haven't been able to get my Ryobi to get enough pressure. Over time I've found that when...

I don’t know that they are “for bigger birds”. The Browning (and the Remington) had a slightly smaller hook than some others. Haven’t shot a partridge around these parts in some time.

Always used a gut hook to remove intestines. It’s easy. Push hook in through the vent, twist, pull out the attached. Made em outa clothes hanger, about 6 inches long with like a shepherd’s crook at the end. Most knives seem pretty big to me but they do work nicely on geese and ducks. The old...

As a service to the community, I will provide the following service at no charge. I operate an approved Scotch Whisky disposal facility. Ship your scotch to me, and you can be assured of its responsible disposition. High quality gin accepted in the summer months. DM me for shipping details...

The guns discussion got me thinking. For a long time I carried my Ruger Super Blackhawk in a shoulder rig in the field, it was comfortable, handy, and out of the way. There's a lot of you carrying and I presume your on foot with a rod and net and some sort of tackle bag/vest, or afloat but...
