What is "Cornell Chicken?" Is this some high falutin' bird from Cornell's School of Ornithology?

When I was in my teens and early 20s, the notion of traveling more than one hour just to go fishing was simply inconceivable to me. I guess that was before the addiction. Since then I've traveled to fish in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, California, and Oregon. Come...

That's a thing of beauty. Makes me want a drift boat!

Yeah, I'm thinking that perch had some nuclear radiation exposure. Atomic perch!

Wow! I've never seen a perch that large from WA waters. What lake was that again . . . ?

I see. Guess that makes you the chef normally in charge of your kitchen then. And those pancakes do look good. Just kinda' naked with no huckleberries.

What, but not with huckleberries or blueberries? Since she's your wife I would expect her cooking game to be top tier.

When aluminum pop & beer cans first became a thing, the first generation pull tabs made pretty good small spoon of the Dick Nite variety.

You feed your cat 3 times a day, plus snacks? I like cats and dogs, at least I always thought I did, but no cat or dog of mine has ever been allowed to "own" the clock. It's not time to get up until I get up, and it's feeding time when I get around to feeding them. Once a day. They always...

Strawberries. Is growing decent sized strawberries some kind of gardener's secret? Last year is the only season out a dozen or so that I had good numbers of normal sized strawberries. Once again, this year mine are mostly dinky little ones, the kind you NEVER see at the Spooner's Farm Stand...

Doesn't sound familiar, but I'd have to go look it up. Russian words don't linger in my memory too well.

Not on a paper plate? Who you tryin' to impress?

Kamchatka.

Assuming the closure of spring Chinook fishing is a legitimate conservation concern, by OS 2.0 standards the river remains open to fishing for other species, particularly game fish species.

I stopped tying small sizes quite a few years ago. I notice that the list of exceptions that I'll buy instead of tie has been increasing. Since it rained all day yesterday, it seemed like a good time to work on refilling the sparse spaces in my fly boxes. I started with some size 12 Prince...

That's a current reason why college should be looked at as more than a "jobs training program." The most important thing I learned in college didn't come from any specific class. It was more of a process that taught me to "learn how to learn." A college degree wasn't an end point, but rather...

Brain fade, so early in the day no less. Ibuprofen. And not for long term use.

I should have included that this is for short term treatment, like 10 days to 2 weeks, and not for a long term.

I didn't visit Craig because of the restaurant or bars. The river had my attention. And the fly shops since I was in the neighborhood.

For hiking, I've taken to using a plastic fluorescent light tube holder as my rod tube. Very light and pretty good protection.
