In natural ecosystems, if a predator diminishes its food source overly then it's population suffers starvation and loss of numbers until the system begins to correct itself. I'm sure the scenario you describe is somewhat true, but making a villain out of a species that was here doing it's...

More info on that story. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/03/210308152458.htm The nutritionally beneficial urchins, according to this article are in the remaining kelp forests, where the urchins can get enough to eat to produce the roe as you call it, gonads as they call it. So in...

So when the sun stars are wiped out by some mysterious disease and the urchin population explodes and wipes out the kelp beds, I think then the value of sea otters becomes obvious. Every creature has its place, and man has continually showed that he knows less than he thinks he does about...

I believe that Lamson changed the design of this reel (Liquid) recently, and the new spools don't fit the old.... so if you think you could need more spools than what comes with, make sure you are getting the newer one.

Nice photos, huge beasts, I want to know where, when, how were the bugs, and on and on.....

One good thing... my neighbors silky terrier's expected lifespan will increase.

Of course the founding fathers were boycotting Albertsons, and didn't have a clue about the plains, the rockies, or the Pacific coast, let alone the acres and acres of cul de sacs filled with people and automobiles. They were all dead when people had messed things up enough that the Government...

I ordered an eight weight during the Fourth of July sale they had and received it in about two weeks. Beautiful rod. Got the letter saying a tube was forthcoming, have not seen it yet, and would have bought the rod at that price without a tube frankly, but I will wait patiently, I have other...

Nice job. Hope it continues to create memories.

Yes there is recent logging down to maybe 100' of the main road above the lake. The instability is obvious, but I would take the risk of venturing down there anytime it hasn't been raining a prestigious amount. I guess park at the top and walk, or use the trail... walking down the road to the...

Coors and sex in a canoe are about the same.... F'ing close to water. Good for drowning campfires!

I used to do that long ago from the jetties down on the Oregon coast. We had quite a bit of action, although most crabs had to go back. It was quite enjoyable. I wonder how it would be from the jetty or the riprap by the Kingston ferry?

Something like this maybe? https://www.littelfuse.com/media?resourcetype=datasheets&itemid=5c669382-b5bb-497d-9b4d-1d9a4d9a1a03&filename=littelfuse-75920series-datasheet

I talked to somebody (DNR) up there a week ago, and they were just unloading some equipment. They said about three weeks. The trail is still there, marked with a sign to remind us to display a discover pass.

One thing to keep in mind, is the forest floor in an older forest becomes like a sponge that can hold a lot of water. Composed of decaying matter mostly from the trees, it gets more effective at holding water as the forest ages. While the snow may melt, it can be held and released more slowly...

If the problem is low water and high temperatures impacting the stress levels of the fishery in the summer, why is no one talking to forest managers in this and other drainages? Commercial foresters are driving the years of growth between harvest down to a shorter cycle which translates to a...

If you have to replace it it might be worth the extra work to use one of these...

I'm 66. It's been a shitshow most of the snowstorms I've seen. Not because they don't "know how to drive in it", like a lot of folks from colder climes claim, but because of the preparedness of the drivers (tires) and the fact that snow and ice close to their melting point is at it's slickest...

I'm about halfway through The Wager by David Grann. Well written and researched story of a shipwreck and mutiny in the 1700's while Britain was warring with Spain.

You guys in Montana and the like probably don't have to contend with the people limping around with nearly bald tires who can't seem to understand they should not take a vehicle equipped in such a way out on the roads with nearly molten h2o. We have reason to be afraid when the snow comes. Of...
