    I grew up on the lower Columbia, the locals called SRC "harvest trout".

    NFR End of an era

    If it matters to you the Sony Bravia 8 is highly rated by multiple folks doing that along with the higher end LG OLED TVs, and they are not made in China. Hisense is a Chinese brand. https://notochina.org/best-tvs-not-made-in-china/

    Board Members You Miss

    I miss JoJo, and I also miss Swimmy, even political Swimmy. I'm weird. I hate politics.

    If you are using plywood for shelter, that's not camping. Homesteading maybe. Not camping.

    Tilton river thoughts

    I'm not an expert on entomology, but stoneflies like to live in areas with a lot of current and actually spend a lot of time quite deep in the rocks. When they crawl out close to the surface they are vulnerable to getting washed into the current. This gives the fish an opportunity, and the...

    I don't think Elon goes camping much.

    Tilton river thoughts

    I've never fished it, but it looks like stonefly habitat to me(mostly riffle with less pool), and I would start fishing it with a stonefly nymph of some sort, heavily weighted. If you do and you do well, don't talk about it on the internet, please. I rarely see anyone fishing there, best to...

    SFR USFS Budget Cuts

    We hear all the time about the increase in wildfire control costs, which are unbudgeted, and the politicals are not keen to get saddled with a tax on their record, so budget cuts, or shifts. Also remember that the Reagan administration nearly doubled the miles of forest roads back then, the...

    Eurasian collared doves

    In southwest Washington I can’t remember ever seeing doves as large as the rock pigeons. The band tailed pigeons were only here in summer to late fall, and gone by now. The native mourning doves are far more common on the east side and smaller. They mostly move south after October but it...

    Tracking sales and deals on meat

    If you have a Chef store (used to be cash and carry) near you check them out, and get on the weekly email list. They frequently sell whole boneless rib roast and New York strip roasts for a really good price. Take it home and throw it in the freezer for an hour or so, and then slice it into...

    Eurasian collared doves

    They like sunflower seeds. I could shoot them off my back deck with a slingshot. There's a half dozen regulars at our feeder, not sure how fast more would move in if we harvested these.

    Our First Baja Road Trip. Or, I wish that I knew what I know now when I was (three weeks) younger

    That was a good read. Thanks for sharing. Trout looks like it would be no trouble to find a part time dog parent. We used to love it when the kids left their dog with us.

    Sturgeon on a barbie rod...

    I think of myself as a decent human. Yet I disagree with your opinion. Fisheries are anyones business that need protein in their diet, or even care about another of God's creatures for whatever reason they choose to care about them. Fishing and fishermen are not the center of the universe...

    Sturgeon on a barbie rod...

    Just because you are not a part of the fishing community does not take away a persons reason to care about fish, or water, or anything else regarding the habitat and resource. If someone is trying to tell me what kind of rod and line to use(fly, tenkara, casting or whatever) , well then they...
