Who would that be? I might need a very simple job.

I've always heard around PDX and SW WA the "spring" steelhead were wild fish that were usually on the larger side.

My brother and his friends fish that lake a couple of times a year and they mostly bobber fish the aforementioned flies.

I thought a lot of the cheaper tungsten beads were made from tungsten powder? It's been a few years since I've really been in the euro-nymphing weeds.

I have a couple of friends in the bike industry, and practically everyone is running tubeless, it's basically the default now. The idea is that if it's a tiny/small puncture, the sealant will seal it up by itself. The majority of the non-fishing bike people who ride the Deschutes trail just...

Yeah, the main reason why I got the bridge club is it is made to carry stuff! What tires did you put on it? I'm looking to get a new set to run tubeless. Anyone else have recommendations for 2.4"+ tubeless tires for out on the Deschutes or John Day would be appreciated.

The whole family got Flu A last week, do not recommend. We get the flu shot every year, but supposedly A is the strain that mutates most frequently.

I just got a bridge club a couple months ago, I've got racks for front and back, how do you transport your rods? In the tube? I'm wondering if I can rig some sort of tube off of the fork hardpoints to carry a broken in half rod.

Which model is that? Cool fly, btw!

I've tied and amassed a gross or two of summer steelhead flies (hairwings, muddlers, soft hackles) and I've decided I don't like the "giant hairball in a drawer" method for the flies that haven't made the cut in my working box. Trying to look for a larger box that won't crush hackles and wings...

I know it's not looking good but... Aren't we still doing better than 2015?

I seem to be heading towards the small fishpond one. I'm surprised that no one on this board has found a more "direct manufacturer from China/SE Asia" analog. I'm going to try and find one.

I like to go minimal when I hit up local waters, but a few spots require a walk in. I can usually go pretty minimal, just having a tip wallet, tippet, and a box of flies in my waders, but I always wish I had a water bottle and another box of flies or a jacket stuffed in there since I can be...

I bet they used those hooks because they were just looking for a bigger canvas to work with. A 3x or longer streamer hook is not optimal for hooking and keeping a fish hooked, but I bet it wasn't a problem when double digit days for salmon or big trout was not uncommon.

A few of the bougie grocery stores like whole foods and trader Joe's were selling frozen arctic char for a while. It was really good.

They are awful compared to a good pair of breathables, but I still have nostalgia for them.

People like the SA tips. Does cortland make two-hand lines? It doesn't look like it.

It's already been mentioned, but around Lake Superior is way off the radar for most people. The PNW is the place to be, but if I had to move somewhere else, Superior area would be my choice. Duluth is your larger (but still not big) city, and small towns up the Minnesota coast. You just gotta...

I saw a couple yesterday on the D. I think temps have been a bit warmer than average, so maybe that's why they are still around.

They have always had excellent customer service and know their stuff. I also don't really buy from them anymore mostly because orvis is the furthest away fly shop in PDX (and they stopped sending me those discount cards), but my formative years were outfitted with Orvis stuff in the 90's and...
