decades ago i got to fish a beat on the Spey. before hand i visited a tackle shop close by to look at the fly patterns. now i have saved for posterity the first flies i ever made. those flies looked much better than what was for sale in Scotland, and i can tell you my first flies are...

took in my first game last night vs LA Kings. 4 minute penalty followed by a 2 minute penalty, power play time, 3 vs 5. result, zip!!!! the Kraken have a long way to go to be considered a legitimate NHL team. you can't win games with slap shots, a team effort focused on offensive play is...

my Jekyll is still up for sale. fully suspended and a great ride. PM if interested or curious.

if the hook is not stainless, it will rust out so stop handling the fish, more harm that way then digging around trying to get a hook out.

cut the leader as close as you can, thats about all you can do without damaging the fish.

Bob's eggs, sorry the images did not come through. fixed!

if all bicycle riders were as alert and contentious as you and your and your club amigos, there would be far fewer bad thoughts from vehicle drivers about 'those inconsiderate people on bikes'. carry on and be safe as you can. another friend was hit, two days ago, by a vehicle turning right...

cleaning the garage shelves, again, and rediscovered my 'other' 10". i have had this pan for about 60 years, bought at a garage sale decades ago, and still going strong, no markings to tell me manufacturer. i suppose i should post up an image of my 'Bob's eggs' from the other night, maybe i...

your are correct, i am incorrect. but a bad law none the same. as chatting and not paying attention is never a great idea. the idea is a herd of cyclist on a narrow road, so doubling up reduces the overall length of the herd and forces traffic to change lanes to pass. but what i see...

we had an apartment on east lake across from NW blood works. each morning as i was having a coffee, i would watch the commuter bikes flying down the hill ignoring traffic signals, passing buses turning out and on an on. that sort of riding leads to trouble, obviously and a mind set that i am...

two wheels are still two wheels whether you are pedaling or twisting the wrist. my simple rules of he road kept he safe, coast to coast and border to border for decades. enough said, do your thing and be safe...

that is total bull!!!!! i have about a 1/4 million street miles on motorcycles. how to survive without accidents is totally up to the rider. the first rule is, 'you are totally invisible'. no matter what you wear, you will not be seen. rule two, 'you yield to everyone no matter the...

my Jekyll is for sale, PM if interested.

'ocean conditions' is a polite way of saying 'we have little to no idea what is going on'.

Bob's eggs for dinner

i would move there in an instant... absolutely wonderful people and so many sights and sounds to explore. i have a silver fern on my fishing cap.

generalizing about people you don't know or have observed is always fraught with error. just sayin...

the kelp beds from the caves to tongue point will hold amazing numbers of chinook but i have never hooked a coho in that area. if you are not floating, this is impossible to fish from the banks.

chinook i have caught, i never count fish, were all hooked on the bottom. if you are not bouncing rocks you are too high in the water column. so you could weight your flies, or use fast sinking heads, all up to you and how you like to fish. the flies i tie for chinook are black chenille with...

after 10 years on the strait, i have to disagree with your take on this. you can pull whatever you wish but i have found coho tend to focus on some specific bait fish which are available. the trick is to find out what they are eating. and i never found coho on the surface feeding. down at...
