Great memories squid jigging. I think I had a squid jig I convinced my dad to buy me, when I was pretty young, at the boat show in the kingdome that had been laying in my tackle box for years. Finally took it out not knowing what I was doing in Edmonds. Hello generators and Halogen lights...

The first two years I fished the trinity during thanksgiving for steelhead I was solo drifting. Where were you then.... :ROFLMAO: Have some good stories figuring out a new river by myself. Right, NO Left... The indian creek lodge had a chef and was serving some pretty high end meals and was...

Will have to check out the lake on another trip. Sounds fun. I think they are using the reward tags to track hatchery fish movement or something. I don't think they try to promote it as a fish derby.

I liked the sign "Smoke Meat not Meth" Didn't try the food but smoked my own texas style brisket the day before we left to take for the trip.

Spent the Thanksgiving weekend on the Trinity River fishing for steelhead again this year. This will be my 5th or 6th year doing it and the weather finally worked in my favor. The rain came before Tday this year and moved quite a few fish up river. Was able to land 8 on the swing and enjoyed...

Three different versions of a USA made 1494 Medalist.

1,2,3 and 3.5 were the sizes for different lines and capacity At one time had all of the sizes but moved them on some time ago. Although I love their looks, they are silent and that really isn’t my style.

The Ross Reel No.1, 2 and 3. A little more modern Classic.

To add sink tips to lines, floating or intermediate, I would cut back the line 15' and add a loop to loop connection. This gets you into the belly of the line and allows the use of multiple tips. Lots of ways to make the loop to loop connections.

It would be nice to get a thread started about silk fly lines. I have several coiled lines taken off of reels I have moved through my care. How do you determine if it is silk? How do you determine if it is in worthy shape? How do you restore it? Figure you mic it for size but what are you...

I really like that reel. I had a nice example of the 1899 and the narrower version which I think was the 1900. I like the models like yours with the exposed palming plate. I think the later ones had a cage over the spool with a break button. They also came badged as South Bend reels and the...

Yes, the sock is slightly shorter than the rod pieces. The sock with my pack rod should be original as well then. Wondered about that. Started off picking up an 8' 3" 5wt sweetgrass mantra some months ago and have really enjoyed it the few times I've been able to get it out. Kind of...

Seems Phillipson rods have a following. I have a couple of their glass rods around and have had a few others. They have always been nice casting and fishing rods. I finally decided that I needed to experiment in bamboo recently and this rod showed up locally. Not sure how I did price wise...

They are still a dog salmon. I am part of the grew up in puget sound salmon snob generation passed down. Now I go to fancy expensive restaurants marketing them as sustainable Keta salmon and the waitress just keeps telling me they are keta salmon. Tried to get some nice fish and chips for the...

Great super moon tonight

Are we likely to see a fad of wearing waders pulled down beneath the belt line showing long underwear?

Dove season is open down here....

I approached it a little differently.
