    Lake fishing - leashed or unleashed?

    A few years ago my buddy flipped his pontoon boat on the Green (the Utah one), I rescued him and the boat. He had his rod tethered with a length of parachute cord and said he was thankful that it saved the rod. I thought he should have been thankful that he didn't become entangled in it and...

    Battery for trolling motor

    I have a 200-watt solar "suitcase" I use when in the big camper. But I go fishing in a little slide-in and tow the boat on a flat trailer, so no room. You would still need two batteries, so you could be charging one while using the other. Sometimes my buddy runs his generator, though, and I can...

    Battery for trolling motor

    Another consideration is do you use the battery for only a single day, then take it home and recharge. Or do you need to run the battery for multiple days. I'm often out for four days with no recharge ability. I carry two 100 ah lead-acid batteries. Each will do 2+ days of running several miles...

    Smoke Jumper

    Good pattern. I've used in #20 with great success for midge hatches on the Bighorn, but they're hard to keep floating.

    What smoker to get started with?

    I don't smoke things overnight, because I'd have every bear within 10 miles on my porch. And that's a lot of bears where I live.

    Don't eat the fish!

    We have a problem with nitrogen deposition in high mountain lakes in Colorado. What happens is that dust from fertilizer on the plains get carried up the mountains by wind.

    Gumbo

    Twenty-five miles west of Lafayette on I-25. Yes, roux has embarrassed a lot of cooks. Edit: Oops. I-10. Been in Colorado too long.

    Gumbo

    Been to Morgan City. It's way down there. I was born in Crowley. Went to high school in Lafayette. My mother was a Broussard before she married a Texan. Don't get back to Louisiana very often anymore, but I enjoy the food when I do. Nice dark roux, BTW:) Float's is a little light, but I think...

    Gumbo

    I grew up in South Louisiana and was prepared to scoff, but that looks pretty dang good. But okra and file?

    The more I fish the less I know

    I think this is especially true in lakes. In a stream, if you're there one day and catch fish in a certain way in a certain kind of place, then you can be pretty confident that if you come back a few days later, things won't have changed much. (Unless the water goes up or drops way down.) In...

    Don't worry. The bears will get them well before 6 days.

    Pontoon Anchor Rope

    Me too. Actually, one compartment of a two-compartment bag. But usually when I pull anchor I end up just piling most of it on the deck and putting the anchor on top of it.

    Interesting. My grandfather told me this joke more than 60 years ago. It's been around for a while.

    586 fly rods

    I don't know what to compare the tip to, but it does anything I need at any distance I typically need to fish.
