    AIS inspection sites between Seattle and Butte

    When did you experience the Cle Elum one as quick? If it's lately, that's good news. I sure hope it's quicker than the times I've stopped there. The first stop was about 25 minutes and the 2nd time was almost 15. I haven't stopped the last few times. I check and clean my raft and boat so I'm not...

    Carp Commander 2.0

    Ok, 1.0 was decent, but the 7/16" platform was not as strong and stable as I wanted. It was also noisy. The camp chair was not great paddling and also very noisy. And it wasn't fishy! Never landed a capr on the damn thing. That's probably not it's fault, but hey...😁 Enter 2.0... The previous...

    Hunting Beginner Question

    A buddy of my buddy has a place out here in SE King suburbia that always has a couple nice bull elk. He has offered to my buddy every year for the last 20 years. My buddy is an experienced hunter with both bow and firearms. In fact, he was the instructor when my oldest son took his hunter safety...

    Anchorage AK FF in early June opertunities?

    Sheep, Goose and Montana Creek just up past Willow as well. Might be too early for them to be following kings, but if the weather has been decent there should be plenty of bugs. Salmon fry is always a possibility too. A grizzly humpy did me right on Montana creek after the kings were already...

    I'll toss in another vote for mouse. Or maybe a vole...yes, a vole hole.

    Show me your bass

    It was! Nothing big, but almost a dozen 10-12" feisty bass on the frog popper in the pads, up against docks, the grass and under the trees. I was casting better than normal today so the fish to expletive ratio was really good. 😁 I find hookups like this one really enjoyable. Now only if they...

    Show me your bass

    It was a baby bass type of morning. Missed a good one. Also a decent crappie. No frog is safe.

    Caprs on jigs

    Haha! I think this has come up before Matt, but never go to the Kentridge High School gym. Their championship banners, and they have a respectable number of them, are all over the place.... Girl's Soccer Boys' Basketball Girls Basketball Boy's Cross Country I don't care which one you use or...

    Caprs on jigs

    Yeah, I get that. The only thing I would be concerned about with a jig hook, even if you could find a heavy/stout one, is the slightly tighter gap between the eye and hook point. Even a good wide gap one like the H450BL, the gap is smaller than a regular carp hook. I miss enough eats, I don't...

    Caprs on jigs

    Ouch, that would haunt me. I was always a 8# Max guy for summer steel. And always blood knots. My buddy was trying to convince me to go 2x on a particular clear river one time. I told him he could take his 2x upriver and catch rainbows if he wanted. I'm sticking with 8# Max no matter how clear...

    Caprs on jigs

    Exactly! I actually do enjoy seeing how long a fly and leader can survive. I think my record is 6 capr in a row on the same fly with no leader repair. And that was with 10# fluoro & a couple of dorsal "twangs". It's not the best strategy to land that fish of a lifetime, but oh well. Crazy how...

    Caprs on jigs

    I've had good luck so far with Ahrex and Hanak jig hooks for some fairly stout rainbows and smallies, but haven't tried them for carp. I think the Hanaks are stronger. I use the H 450 BL. I had an Ahrex break on me one time, but it was when I had a hold of it and the fish wagged right at the...

    Caprs on jigs

    Nice! What hook is that? It looks a little skinny for capr work, but maybe it's just the photo. And it sounds like it got worked!

    NFR TICKS - The Threat Grows

    Ok, this was in my YouTube feed. I haven't searched ticks in my Google or my YouTube. Is PNWFF selling my info to the man? :ROFLMAO: Pretty funny...although, Lyme disease is not.
