    What was your moment that inspired your transition to flyfishing?

    I took a multi-week trip to Idaho. Brought a long about 10 different rods. One of them was a Cabelas LSi 5wt that I got for Father's day (I still have it). First day onsite I took the LSi to a stream near our cabin, didn't catch but rose several trout on some fly called an 'elk hair caddis' --...

    NFR Superb Owl 2026: Seahawks vs Patriots (official thread)

    agreed with one exception. The 'relax your tight end' had me and the wife laughing out of our lazy boys; good message too. Other than that I noticed an inverse relationship between the number of 'big names' acting in a commercial and the quality of said commercial, with the riff on Good Will...

    Seahawk defense needs a better name than 'The Darkside' Maybe "ball and chain', 'wet blanket', or 'air brakes'?

    I'm not sure that fits the elitist social media brand you've been working on?

    The 2025 NFL Season Discussion

    I've been enjoying watching Olympic mixed doubles curling. It's been a while since I watched... when did they trade in the broom for that swiffer/rv-brush thing? Also, I never realized that anyone can jump out their and start scrubbing the ice, even the team that isn't throwing the rock. At one...

    My bunks are bunk

    My current bunks are really sticky. Actually looking forward to slicker bunks. I don't back-down disconnected. My boat/mo/and payload is heavy enough that I'd be completely screwed if something went pear-shaped on the ramp. Again, great helpful responses.

    My bunks are bunk

    Thanks all! So I think the reaction between PT lumber and aluminum is only with the old school PT wood? That said, I'm leaning towards Doug Fir 2x4 and the skids that @SurfnFish recommended. I'll probably paint up some 1x1 angle iron and screw it to the bottom side between the mount points on...

    My bunks are bunk

    I bought an aluminum hull/60hp boat on a Karavan trailer new about 4 years ago. No issues with the boat and mo. The trailer on the other hand has failed on me twice. The hardware that the bunks attach to the frame bent and had to be replaced, I upgraded the size and thickness of those brackets...

    NFR Life is for the Living, not the Existing.

    Don't disagree with what's been said. Just pointing out that life is tricky and circumstances can overwhelm at just about any moment. The option to go thrill seeking or live your best life can be vanquished if it requires doing this or that thing. On the extreme edges of this, Victor Frankl's...

    Small Waterproof Hip Packs?

    I bought the small Simms 'Dry Creek' hip pack a couple years ago. Bog simple, no organization compartments, and overpriced. But, I've worn it on just about every fly fishing trip since then. I strap it to the frame of my pontoon when I'm floating. It's never failed, zipper is perfect, buckles...

    NFR Alcohol going out of style

    great thread.. On a similar topic I'm looking to roll back sugar intake too. Might be worthy of another thread though.

    NFR Alcohol going out of style

    I'm taking 10 days off of alcohol to see if it will help my sleeping. I typically have about 6 drinks a week and don't like to get drunk. But, theres' some information about 'light' drinking interrupting sleep patterns. I love beer and whiskey, but sleep is more important to me.

    Can you weight an unweighted tube fly?

    I like the pro tube stuff too. Used the flexi's for a long time, but they're expensive, and I wanted the hook to ride free. I use the 2.2mm (all the weights and cones fit on this platform) and I jam a non-slip loop (4-5 wraps fits snugly) into the end of the tube and let the hook ride back where...

    metal roofs

    of all the threads on this forum... I never once thought the T-Rex himself, big JT would show up. I'll have 'em put on 7 or 8 layers for a BIG THICK ROOF.

    metal roofs

    great info folks. I'm probably going to look at a light colored fiberglass roof and some of the other suggestions for keeping my attic cool.

    did you hear the way that Gronk just said oblique, "Oooh-bull-leek". Sounds like Obi-Wan's brother or something. I think that's worth 2 drinks.
