Here's one that I tied up. The picture makes the dubbing look fuller than natural light. It balances nicely and passes the hot tub swim test... nice up and down swimmy action. The pins are a PITA to work with but I already had some and the non-slotted tungsten beads. Gonna tie up 2 sizes and 3...

big props to Young and Crawford for getting on base too, more of that kind of hitting from everyone please. Love how JP reacted to losing the leadoff spot... I'll set the table from the nine-hole thank you very much.

Shidur (sp?) Sanders looking really good. Might be a draft steal.

"Not fond of dates, but I'll sign a nice juicy plum for you anywhere and anytime".. homonyms and all..

cool, a quick 'net search I did made it sound as if retrieving a balanced leech on a tight line (no bobber) was rare. I'm looking for an edge on educated stillwater trout by getting that that up and down action and activate the maribou tail ( and hopefully the trout ).

How many if any of you are retrieving balanced leeches in stillwater? Do you tie those patterns any differently than you would for under an indicator? Thanks in advance. Erich

ya they were both at Baker Wayside... I suspect they were in that water below the falls, everything else is awful shallow. Sad and a reminder how treacherous seemingly harmless river plunge pools can be.

My takeaway: don't hang out in bear infested rivers dressed like a 7ft tall mash-up of Johnny Depp and Papa Smurf. The bear was a Bruins fan. And, WRT #2; a savvy Chicago Bruins PR worker could make some serious hay with the video of the Kraken mascot muttering "Oh my Gawwwwd" while being...

Kirby not bringing his best stuff so far, but it's fair to say he's getting good run support.

https://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/news/2025/08/06/oregon-man-drowns-north-umpqua-river/85532145007/ BTW: the picture in this article might be part of the Numpua watershed but it ain't at mile marker 24.5. I'm pretty sure that's a place called sticks beach; super popular summer swimming hole.

AL wild-card race is like a day to day thing right now. Yankees drop to #3 and M's take #2. But that could flip back if the M's don't handle the Sox today. @Canuck from Kansas see what you can do about having those amazing Royals take one away from the red Sox today will ya? Meanwhile the...

Some great baseball today. The royals pull it out in extra innings and the M's close out a 1 run lead in the top of the 9th. I like Sam Haggerty, but I'm glad he lost that steal replay.

Recommend you get an appointment with your GP, and or a referral to an orthopedist. Since seeing my GP I've been getting some relief by splinting and doing passive stretches (the tendon gliding stretches actually exacerbated the problem). I have an appointment with an orthopedist this week...

Blue Jays and royals locking horns in a good game today..

Dude's a stud. Such a menace at the plate. He just wears pitchers out until they cave.

North Umpqua river rat here. Nothing but felt with cleats for me. Falling down on land is usually way better than falling in the water. The aforementioned provisos apply: significant snowfall (rare around here) and or long treks (say > 5mi) might require wearing different shoes for the approach.

<Warning, grumpy old man content> He probably would have hit one solo home run last night to tie the game so they could lose in extra-innings. <End Warning> Good solid move; no breathers for pitchers in the top of that lineup. But I sure would like to see the M's get more traffic and raise their...

beg to differ, did you see my post about them being 'be-fuddling'. They just made what appears to be a solid move acquiring Josh Naylor; starting tonight.

I like the Rio Mid Head Spey lines. The head lengths comes in at 52/55' for 7 and 8 weight rods. They cast great on my 7130 and 8130; great taper that covers small delicate presentations and has enough grunt to send a fly tied on a heavy wire platform. I love the running line on them, shoots...

M's continue to befuddle... One way of looking at the last 2 series is they went .500 with 2 of the best/hottest teams in MLB. The other way is to focus on the 2 gaawwdaaawwwfulll losses where they were spanked by their opponents. The brew-crew debacle yesterday was ridiculous. Hitters...
