I haven’t bought a new rod, other than a Steffen glass in 10+ years so I can’t comment on new/recent. I love my XP690-4 a lot more now after having replaced the original cork with a modified fulls wells. Pretty much my only complaint about my Sage trout rods was the size of the grip. I’ll be...

Your thoughts on the transom saver regarding the negative effect on your lower unit are correct. In the last 15 years or so hauling and delivering new and used boats from dealers and manufacturers especially, it became verboten to use transom savers as the kinetic energy generated by the trailer...

Excellent as usual, Steve. Gary also. I can “hear” the sound of moving water in my mind after reading. Always love attending one of Steve’s science classes.

Never leave home without some of these. They make fairly good camera lens also, $12 +/-

Have it on order. Recently being near, around, and among them in BC & the Yukon I decided to read more on the herds being re-established and the locations associated with that process. I learned that there are two sub species, the Woods Bison and the Prairie Bison with the Wood Bison being the...

“Hiroshima” by John Hersey. Initially published in 1946 as a complete article in The New Yorker magazine. It gave America, and the world, a first insight as to what occurred on that Sunday morning, August 6 1945, and days, months, and years after. Written in a Journalism 101 style of who...

I’ve been to some skeeter/insect infested areas here on Mother Earth, and ended up looking like a dart board on Monday morning after a tournament, but the upper D ranks right up there with anything ever encountered. And I was warned by @Canuck from Kansas. A strange sound emanating from the...

Great reels and the MZ versions are pretty much bullet proof….not idiot, but bullet, nonetheless. Always thought they never received the love they deserved due to lack of marketing. The reel and spare spool will cover a vast amount of different scenarios…ocean & fresh water.

Same hub each time? Do you dunk when hubs are hot? Heat is your enemy. How far do you tow before launching? Check temp on hubs before launch with hand? Are any hot to touch? Grease….less is more. Too much you’ll blow the cap off, and diaphragm en-route if extensive distance. Key point mentioned...

Being the Sox it does take practice. Narveaz (sp?) must have seen Harper coming and the pitcher, probably a lefty never saw him break for home. 3B and 1B should have been screaming. Narveaz caught the ball in front of the plate so game over. He’s been a gift from the Yankees. Who’d a thought! I...

Epic! Outstanding report regarding the correlation between the 2020 lack of commercial fishing and the amount of 2025 returns. Funny how that works. Looks and sounds as if everyone had a grand time, except maybe some sockeye but win some lose some. Would love to see the bears up close and...

Had me at Elucidated..

Excellent reason! Noticed I used “reason”, and not the ex…. word.

Please…….. my wife is from Devon! Science has yet to identify some items served as food at the dinner table there. British Marmite..aye wot? It’s only been within the last 30 to 50 years with the influx of humanity from various parts of the world that a delicate flavored “British Cuisine” has...

After/action report we hope. Images also from GPR if available would be cool.

Wonder who that could be…..mate.🤔🤔 Actually found it on Amazon and they’ll deliver to my door with a double bonus as Bellevue would be a two day non-stop trip one way but the real bonus is they carry this also! Anything with SANITARIUM in the description has been developed for people like...

Both purchased late this winter. My Scott 5wt liked neither. Glass or bamboo lines I/M/E. 1 - Cortland Sylk Classic DT-5 maybe 2 hours on the Green this year. One factory Loop 1- Airflo Superior Elite DT-4 Less than 2 hours on the Green Both factory loops still there. $75 for both delivered...

They were rampant east of Edmonton at a wildlife reserve along the shore.

Updates? Hope you’re enjoying the heck out of it. Aussies are great people, except maybe that wench that cooked a dinner for four and the other three died from the gravy. If you come across a lonesome jar of Vegemite and can smuggle it home let me know. We can work out a deal
