That’s a good idea, Dave. I’ll get some pics up in the near future.

My wife's cousin bestowed some vintage tackle on me this AM. Three bamboo rods, none with markings, all are 3 piece, one with a broken tip. All have been rewrapped with skill somewhere between none and sophomoric. Reel seats are all down slides and aluminum. I imagine these are all postwar...

Two rods? Why not 3? And several soles for my Korkers: Felt, felt with studs, rubber, and aluminum. And since I used to smoke, how about a pipe, some tobacco, a spare pack of cigarettes, a lighter, and some waterproof matches. A lunch. A dry shirt. Two beers. Different beers... Also my...

On my 16.5 Lowe I use a 20# mushroom forward as primary and 15# of looped chain taken from my cataraft aft. The 15# is on 25’ of rode, used primarily for chironomid fishing, sll stored in a 3 gallon bucket. The 20# primary is on 50’ of three strand, stored belowdeck accessed by a hatch. No...

Cool! Nice boat, plenty of motor, you’ll be on the electric most of the time anyway. Do getcha one of them Grass Ninja cutters for your electric, a great product

Thanks, Cabezon, for reminding me why I got degrees in geology.🤪

In the past I did polarized bifocals. Wading: bad. Scrambling down to the stream from the road: dangerous. I went to polarized single prescription shades, with readers. Much better.

Here I thought they just made inflatables. Has anyone any experience with their rods or reels or lines? Customer service?

After half a season the Ninja works as advertised. Cuts through reed canary grass and other hard grass/weeds like a knife, other thick aquatic weeks pretty well though you may need to increase blade speed to clear it now and then, and in real thick stuff it tends to wrap around the motorhead...

I fished the Schmoots Clooper this weekend, I again joined Team Airball with no carp in two days. In my defense the total carp caught number was pretty darn low, if not a record. The lake was plagued with wind and cloudy conditions for most of both days, and there was poor visiblity in the...

No, but I'm happy I now have something to blame. ;)

I hate 'em all. My daily driver is a Capital One. I chose at the time the one that gave me the highest cash back with no annual fee. It may not be that one anymore. I almost always apply the cash back to the credit balance. It's the same pocket I use for fun stuff, too. And never, ever carry a...

My fly club has manufactured and weakly promoted the Runje Releaser (Run-G) for a long time, you can google it and pick it up locally for about 10 bucks. Simple to use, I imagine it works like the other wire loops. It took me a while, but with practice it's pretty easy.

I fish on my motorboat alone a lot, and the tether to the kill switch is a serious pain in the ass. I'd love to hear reviews of the wireless kill switches anyone is using?

It’s been a long crawl back to where I am from where I found myself last fall. And it’s a ways back to where I’d like to be. But each day is another step.

Superglue is the choice. Crazy Glue is preferred because it's got a brush applicator. It sounds like Zment does too. Make sure you let it dry pretty good before continuing.

From the article: "WDFW’s ability to complete fishery management evaluation plans for Columbia River salmon and steelhead stocks, several of which are listed under the Endangered Species Act and require careful oversight, was reduced, slowing the completion of the plans and “putting the affected...

Pilot bread is best. IYKYK

Okay, easy stuff, but car camping. Rice is good, repackages nicely into nalgenes and cooks easy. Spills in your container don't make a mess and it doesn't attract vermin. I like egg beaters over eggs, they transport well and taste okay to good, especially with cheese and a little hot sauce...

I got around to beginning Headwaters by Dylan Tomine, which I got for Christmas. Yeah, well, I got halfway through last night. Really, really well written, IMHO.
