Thanks!

If all goes well I'll be heading out on Sunday, so I've got a few basic questions for anyone that cares to chime in. -Are most people running two rods to switch between trolling and casting? I have a cheapo 12wt backup rod but don't think I can swing/justify a second 12 weight reel, so was...

The mouth of a certain Columbia trib during mid-late October certainly seemed to qualify. Everything about the place was insane, from the launch to the flight-of-the-bumblebees style mega-cluster out on the water. Thankfully everyone was generally friendly, cooperative, and tended to take...

Heard the same from some folks on the rafting circuit.

Looks like the Snohomish from the RR bridge to the ramp at Snohomish will open August 31st instead of Sept 15th. Per the e-mail alert in my inbox....

Wrong species but still reminds me of this scene....

Otters on the march!

"Right now Skeena Steelhead are in serious trouble, trouble like they have never experienced before. The Tyee Test Fishery is presently showing the stock is at one of the lowest run sizes in the 68 years of operation...."...

No one is giving them away for free, but there is such a thing as the "Power Drifter" boat, that combines the shallow draft, high freeboard, and front-end-rocker of a driftboat with a transom designed to hold an outboard....

Used to love reading "Field & Stream" and "Outdoor Life" back in the 80's and daydream about everything from heaving giant deer-hair frog patterns at "MONSTER Texas Largemouth!!!" to crawling up to a placid chalk-stream in England on my hands and knees and pitching size 22 dries to impossibly...

Valve to consolidate partially-filled butane canisters. Mostly worth it to never have to take two partially full canisters, wonder what I'm going to do with a 1/8 full canister and just leaving it on a shelf for years, etc:

Looks like someone lived one of my vacation nightmares.... " We left California en route to Idaho. After a few nice days at City of Rocks, we headed for Salmon and our final trip prep. Just past the small town of Carey, Idaho, the axle on our raft trailer blew up. It's impressive to see your...

I'll start. Easily the best bang-for-the-buck addition that I've added in the past few years has been the Coleman camp oven. It's basically just a collapsible sheet-metal box that sits on top of your camp stove with a door/thermometer and a rack to set things on. I was dubious, but for the...

Just throwing this out there as an FYI - if you search/shop/wait sometimes you can find used high-end natural-gas grills on sale at a pretty significant discount to propane versions since so few people have gas hookups - then quite easily convert them back to propane. All you have to do is swap...

Anyone make a better trailer tire than Carlisle?

-Spend the extra money on either Timken or National bearings/races/seals if you're going to invest the time in replacing them yourself. -It's worth investing a bit of money in a bearing seal/race driver kit and a bearing packer to make that job faster/easier/cleaner. -If you're like me and...

Great suggestions!

Now that everyone is fessing up who is going to come forward and admit to combining fly gear and downriggers? Now that I've got the gear I've been toying with the idea of running a dummy-flasher on on a downrigger an just clipping in my fly-rig to do some trolling once I'm done casting for the...

Must not be MA-11....
