    SBS Tom's Jiggy Craw

    I’m pretty simple. I do five or so feet of something like 12 lb leader material a ring or a swivel and then an arms length of 8# flouro. Thought I’d be smart once and used heavier tippet between ring and fly but all I did was break everything off….ended up using a section of my rod to re-tie...

    WDFW did not request funding for a 2027 Skagit-Sauk season

    I've had the same thought. As I saw on another old man's truck bumper not long ago. " I'm running out of F**ks" ;)

    Looks like he’s guarding his rod. Does he need help reeling one in? 🤪

    What have you done for your boat lately?

    After a wee bit of weighing the pro's & con's in the middle of the night when I should have been sleeping :rolleyes:, I decided to go with a new raft rather than messing around trying to extend the life of the old one. I also followed the YOLO frame of mind and indulged myself by upgrading to...

    What are you listening to?

    A little Motown to change it up…. This is also what I think of as a ‘Tornado Song’. I grew up in Iowa and my parents didn’t have a lot of money, so their starter house didn’t have a basement. Whenever the tornado sirens sounded, my mom would herd us over to the neighbors, who had a...

    Slow Day on Alone Lake

    Question for @Evan B, @Josh, or @Billy how much work or how long does it take to deal with a spammer or other unwanted poster such as this? 👆 I have no idea what it takes to run a site such as this and was curious. thanks for keeping it going

    Launching at Cornet Bay

    Waaay cool, thanks. At first glance that DeepZoom is awesome. I’ve been running around with some old paper charts and a depth finder that often loses track of the bottom when I get up on plane🤪

    Launching at Cornet Bay

    I have a 14' Lund aluminum V hull with a 15 hp motor. I'm thinking about getting it into Skagit Bay ( for the outgoing 2 chum fry that might have survived the floods 😞 ) and have been considering Cornet Bay. For those who've run the pass, is this a crazy stupid idea in such a small boat...

    What's in your vise?

    I meant to ask when this was first posted, but I’ve become one helluva procrastinator. How do you attach the cork? a) Drill a hole first? b) Just push the hook thru? c) add a bunch of glue? d) Lay down a thread base first? e) none of the above f) all of the above g) other

    What's in/on/under your camping Dutch oven?

    I got one a couple years ago and played around with it a bit. Here’s a pic from an old thread👇 There are a few good DO chefs in our group….I’m guessing they’ll answer all your questions….sure helped me out. I cut my own parchment liners and they worked fine for some things. I also used the...

    Pretty crazy about them being pursued by a black bear, huh? How lucky they were to not run into a white one😳

    Shocked to read about her crash this morning. Tough to go back to sleep after seeing that, I bet. Prayers and good vibes her way

    They're Back In Stock!

    It's not uncommon for me to make poor choices at the end of a day...when I'm tired, dehydrated, and just wanna get to the damn truck. Evidently, when one's rod tip is hung up on a branch while bushwhacking it is not a good idea to keep tugging. I broke off the last 5 inches of my switch rod...
