    The colors of fall.

    It's a variety... some twitching jig, some bead/corky and yarn. Depending how they stage up around obstructions. Need to get the cojones to bring the fly gear and give a go... just dont understand the system well enough to get the bait where I want it... and my casting still sucks.

    The good boat deal thread

    Camano marine has 2022 hobie outbacks at just over 2500 and compasses at just under 2k. Multiple colors. New boats. Nearly 1k below retail. Just about the price of used boats on the market. Very well priced according to my market research. I swooped their last new old stock 2021 outback for...

    Largest bony fish recorded

    Wow. Crazy. I like how it's broken down on the curb... then they ice it for display. I think I'd try it.

    NFR Wolf Encounters

    5-6 yrs ago in YNP we saw a loner gorge himself on elk liver, while taking a break dragging the carcass out of the river. ... a brief encounter, unencumbered by the hoard of wolf lurchers. The crowd kinda sours the experience for me... but this was awesome.

    More than sometimes people suck... if they live in a nice house on the water... chances seem to be higher.

    We got these spiders coming in...

    Hobo spider... not deadly but a nasty bite. When I first moved north, those were what scared me most.

    Trailer Hook on your spoon?

    You got me thinking about a modular jig... maybe not a new idea... new to me.... first try below Sliding egg weight for head- paint it, powder coat it, pretend it's a bead..? Tube fly body (first try at maribou with couple zonkers) but anything would work... black bugger or leech, whadyall...

    Trailer Hook on your spoon?

    I like the articulate jig. I think it will work great on our little combat fishery here. Not sure if the hoochie skirt would foul the hook, and seems like much longer you're kinda outta the strike zone? Thanks for the share.

    Trailer Hook on your spoon?

    I like it. I did experience an increase in landing rate as I added a swivel as the post suggested. The trailer makes sense, is cheaper, wont rust out, and looks easier to pull the hook.

    Is There a Best Color for Attracting Fish?

    Interesting. From what I learned in designing for supporting circadian rhythm in buildings... largely influenced by light exposure... Color is function of >source spectrum content and intensity (daylight can vary from 50,000k -super blue to less than 4,000k more amber) >the medium its...

    Tuna dreams

    One gent sells smoked belly at Saturday market $40/per pound.... Great right up. Started with TLDR but then dug in. Worth the effort for sure. Thank you. Is the herring used as a hooked bait or just attractant to keep the party going. All fish caught on the fly?

    Any tips on MA13 staging estuary coho? There's lots of them!

    I call that the "heritage" fishing rig... add a 4' hali pole and 80lb braid and your off just like the ancestors... I know horrible... but true.

    What's a budget gear rod for salmon?

    I like shorter m/mh for bank obstructions both natural and people... sometimes I join the combat line. Bait caster helps with rapid routine casts. I sometimes stumble over the spinning bail when the black mass is passing in front of me... get so excited... Twitch jigs, corky and yarn, spoons...
