    What are you listening to?

    Heard this today, and remembered just how good it was: Am I the only one who hears its guitar influence on this? The more I think about, "Jackie Blue" sounds like the love child of "That Lady" (guitar) and this one (vocals, especially the bridge): (BTW, you can tell I was a teenager in the 70's)

    NFR Golf

    Not convinced that the fans will benefit from having two tours with the best players split between the two, instead of competing against each other every week. I think the players will probably benefit (think bidding war for their services), and I think like most rival start-ups, LIV will...

    Backing

    Not sure what the less expensive backing is made of, but realistically, you're spending an extra $8, which is less than 2 gal of gas, on something that will likely last you many years (as @Old Man notes). I wouldn't think twice about dropping the $15 on the Rio, and I'm generally pretty thrifty.

    What are you listening to?

    You'll probably recognize this one, even though you may not have heard it in a while: Sort of in the Bill Withers/Marvin Gaye (his early 70's sound) groove.

    The best ALL-AROUND freshwater 5wt? Scott or Sage?

    @Fast Action Freddie, just my opinion, but if you're limiting the use for this second rod to dry flies, spring creeks, smaller streams, shorter casts, I'd go with a 4 wt or 3wt. I wouldn't overline it as that will defeat the purpose of going with the lower weight rod. Keep it on the longer...

    The best ALL-AROUND freshwater 5wt? Scott or Sage?

    Just going to throw this out there - Scott still offers an unconditional warranty, Sage's warranty (and the post-facto changes they made to it) are well-documented on the thread that @Stonedfish started. I can't speak for the 5 wt, but I've enjoyed using my Scott G-series 8' 3 wt. since the...

    Washington Fly Fishing stole the salmon

    Well, I dug around the archives a little more and found this shot of you from later that year (it would be hard to look good in that outfit :) ): And just think, you beat @swimmy to the puffy look by 50 years!

    I found this picture in the archives of the old site of @Old Man from around 1955: OMJ - the OG cool kid!

    NFR Humor (No political jokes)

    An Irishman walks into a bar in London, orders three pints of Guinness and sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more. “You know, a pint goes flat after I draw it,” the bartender tells him, “and it...

    3wt lines

    I second the Cortland Peach. Whichever make/brand you go with, if you buy a DT, you're effectively getting two lines for the price of one (just flip it around when the tip starts to wear and doesn't float as well), so it should be useful for twice as long as a WF would be, and with a 3wt...

    Net pen coho

    In addition to the other contributors to better returns mentioned above, is it logical that since the net pen-reared cohos are more likely to residualize, they will also benefit from lower mortality than ocean-going fish? Even the little reading I've done on the issues with the anadromous fish...

    Local Saltwater Essentials

    Probably more relevant for salmon (I've never really targeted them on my trips out there), but when you get to a beach with a lot of others already there, take some time to watch what they're doing. There will usually be a couple of folks catching (or consistently catching) when no one else is...

    This is extracted from my first post on the old site, which I called "Tips for SRC Newbies (from a Newbie)". Hope it helps: I think sometimes people who fish the beaches all the time don’t realize that a lot of the things that are second nature to them aren’t that obvious to people just...

    What are you listening to?

    I have a tendency to go down rabbit-holes on YouTube, usually starting with 60's rock, pop, soul, or blues. Thought I'd share a mini-trek, kicked off by looking for some pre-Mamas & Papas Cass Elliot. I knew she could sing anything, but this was a pleasant surprise: That brought me to...
