Thanks to all of you who went digital early and found the bugs. Next year will go more smoothly.

They fit in full sized pickups but it is iffy in the smaller ones. The issue is width at the oar locks. I had a heck of a time with fitting one into a Tacoma with a canopy.

This is a good deal. I have 2 of them and they have endured years (10+) of hard use. I recently replaced the complete tubes, $200 each (no tax, no shipping). For $400 you get a new boat. The frame is indestructable.

I don't take my landing net out of its storage location until I get the first fish to the boat. Only God know why...

I had a friend I skied with that always wore a backpack. When asked for stuff, he always seemed to have it in the pack. I once asked him it he had condoms in there. He said, "What color?"

Read the regs carefully, there are restrictions in places (fly fishing only for example) on extra weights. Beads are OK but not split shot. I got lectured to by a warden. Now, I just use 2 flies, the top with a bead.

I have had good luck with the 150's I have owned. You will enjoy the move up in space from the Kia.

My goodness, that is a picture of at least a thousand words.

In my early 40's (I'm 82 now), I decided to quit drowning worms and killing fish.

Had a knee replacement last winter and I took the rehab seriously. Quit drinking (after tapering down for some years) and just didn't start back up. No desire to either. Fizzy water (Pelligrino) takes the spot. Lost some weight too.

Among the most fun things I have done with my clothes on.

Avoid using OSB (oriented strand board). It has issues with absorbing water in the end-grain. A good, sloppy seal is a good idea. Careful matching the size, a lot of board is thinner than its nominal size. A 32nd less is common. If it is hidden/structural, it won't matter.

Think about regular plywood as well. It is all made with waterproof glue nowadays and you could easily/cheaply patch with it.

Destiny 2. Been with it since 2 months after its release. Belong to a clan. I've maxed my character (Titan) a lot over the 10+ years. Currently I am a level 9 Guardian at power level 550. I am on PC and bought myself a really good one this winter. I have around 5,500 hours in the game and...

Clarification?

I agree, Rio lines do sink. However, they are solid core and do not stretch well (or at all). I tried them and found they all result in a tangle of loops in your lap. Not good when you get a decent fish on.

I tried a lot of options over the years and officially gave up. They may make lines labeled 3wt but they don't work I use 4wt intermediate and sinking lines as well as poly tips. These are the real savers for the intermediate. 4wt lines just don't sink, much. The Poly/VersaTip leaders come...

Fine looking boys there!

I fished this area 10-12 years ago and it was great. Lots of variety. The town was quaint and quiet back then, very pleasant.

No moving water, I don't want to go back to the food chain. But there is nothing wrong with lakes, they harbor plentiful big fish and great views. I stick with locations with a boat ramp now and don't go out much in the cold and rain. That said, I got in 49 days this year including a couple...
