    What color High-Vis Post for clear, sunny water?

    We have arrived at a similar approach. I have simplified down to a thread bodied fly with a wing that’s a loop of cdc and 2 strands of krystal flash. The body sits below the surface, the wing just on top...

    What color High-Vis Post for clear, sunny water?

    💯 But if I was fishing an ant with a chartreuse and orange post on a N Idaho River and one of those big crimson bellied cutts I was searching for all day after catching 28 10- to 13-inchers came up and slow motion refused the fly, I’d be switching it out to something more natural. I like a cdc...

    NFR Got any Herp pictures?

    Looks like it to me. If in Western WA that helps make it more likely. That’s pretty cool. Probably be pretty reasonable to cast on a 5 weight. 😉

    What color High-Vis Post for clear, sunny water?

    I think we may give fish too little credit for what they can see in their watery world. The water surface does weird refractive things to bend light and I think they can see a lot above the water when it’s clear. But they also bite insane-seeming, outlandish flies sometimes so 🤷‍♂️

    What color High-Vis Post for clear, sunny water?

    I like white posts in that kind of a setting. I feel like it just looks more like it belongs in the environment. Chartreuse and orange? What are we, 1987 Yamaha jet skiers?

    NFR World Cup

    Wait what? Another? I didn't get to watch this game but at what point do you start letting some other players take the PKs? Does Messi have the PK yips?

    My new custom Tunerfish 12wt just arrived

    Could be a bold move to shift the main leverage point up 6 inches when that thing is likely to be somewhat regularly corked, er, graphited?, with a tuner diving under the boat while you're trying to gaff it, but being fiberglass it will hopefully be plenty strong still. Great looking build!

    Yeah. Hey but a hell of another free kick from Tillman! Boy was that ever a short lived sense of relief.

    Northern BC & Yukon

    We made it back down on our full sized spare and donut. :oops: We also started out with some pretty sus tires near the end of their lives, but I was poor and wanted to eke out every mile I could. I think I'd re-evaluate that decision now but broke is broke and I needed gas money. The busted...

    I did that. If you’re going all that way, might as well take the Dempster Highway up to the Arctic Circle, or beyond!

    Awesome Dogs of PNW

    Omar made it on another framily camp out! And he gave Duncan a bit of a comeuppance.

    Ask the Camp Chef

    Yeah I know, typically done with single serving size bags but wifey bought the big bag of Fritos and I wasn’t feeling quite that Texan.

    Ask the Camp Chef

    Dear Camp Chef, Why did this hit the spot so well last night? Fritos, can chili, shredded cheese from a bag, pickled jalapeños, chopped onion, Evan B’s purple pain hot sauce and mexi style sour cream.

    Coffee talk

    Oh yeah, that’s usually how I like it, too. At least for the first batch. Can always go longer on the next one.

    Some fine Colombian…kinda like Steely Dan said. But not really though.

    NFR World Cup

    Another thing that needs to be said is Malik Tillman’s free kick was Kwah-Luh-Tee! It looked to me like if the BIH defender whose head that brilliant shot looped over had jumped even a little bit upon Tillman making contact with the ball, he could have deflected it, but he just stands there...

    Rain

    My dad fished the inshore salt in SC yesterday and said the water in the creeks and intracoastal waterway was 86-87 degrees.

    NFR World Cup

    Ref should’ve given the caution before the straight red…and it was after review! I don’t think it was the he “wasn’t going for the ball,” when you watch the play in real time it looked like it was just an unfortunate jostling, not intentional, reckless or malicious. Also why did they have to...
