    NFR Best Christmas Movie EVER

    I don't waste any time on Christmas movies. If I could get away with it I wouldn't waste any time on Christmas. They already call me scrouge and it doesn't bother me.

    BRRRR!!!

    I spent a year in Greenland in the winter time I know what cold is. I don't even think I have to go out in the cold weather. You can stay out for a little while at minus 60. But only a little time, any longer and you could end up as an icicle. I can start my truck at minus 10 but any colder no...

    New Years Resolutions

    To live a little longer and this year drag my sorry ass out a few more tines,. Don't fish all my rods now so don't want any more, I fish my short rods with tiny flies. 16, 18, and 20's, And since I suck at tying up any more than one fly at a tune. I decided that one fly is enough to catch fish.

    Durable Waders

    They don't work very good in mud either. Fell on my ass on the N/F Stilly when I stepped on some.

    Durable Waders

    I used to wear waist highs in the summer time when I lived in Washington. I also tried them in the winter time. I was fishing where the Suiattle runs into the Sauk. There is/was a sand bar there. My one foot got tangled with a stick in the sand and down I went. I had the waist highs clinched up...

    Jake Haener was at Washington a few years ago. He left because of all the QB's that were there. He felt that he was to far down the list to get any playing time. So he went to Fresno State. He excelled there.

    Washingtonians- Do you like where you live? Either way, why?

    The traffic really sucks big time. In Everett area. I came to Washington one time to pick up my Granddaughter who was visiting her cousins in Everett. I wanted to go to that mall on the reservation. I tried to get on the freeway heading North but it was bumper to bumper from the river north. I...

    The Davy Knot

    Truer words were never spoken. I now have the shakes so tying any knot is a chore for me. I can do all of the above but because of them I don't. And sometimes simple is also out. This is part of my reason not to fish. The other is that I'm just lazy.

    Washingtonians- Do you like where you live? Either way, why?

    When I lived and worked in Washington, I tried to live in a small town. I stayed and spent most of my livable time in Snohomish Co. I never lost anything in Seattle so I never spent much time there. I worked at Boeing for damn near 40 Years. Renton and Everett. Driving to Renton from Lake...

    The Davy Knot

    At 80 my hands went to hell. They shake like leaves in a tree on a windy day. Now at 87 they are just about at an unable to control level now. It takes all I can do to tie on a fly. I have to laugh at myself, if I didn't I would probably cry.

    The Davy Knot

    I suck at knots. Even as long as I have been throwing line around, I need something that was easy to tie and remember how to. Hence the Davy knot was shown to me by a few old timers here on the old site. I believe that McRowdy and Zen(the young one) showed me how when I lived in Silver Star...

    So was I. When there it was so long ago that I think we used to throw spears at each other. It was so long ago that the bases I was stationed at are now long gone. Fort Ord, Fort Eustis, Thule, Greenland. Also the base Fort Lewis is now joint with an Airforce base. So the east side of Fort...
