    Indicator fishing / Stillwater

    For Pete's sake don't start fishing from a small watercraft that makes trolling flies around a lake effortless (like a pedal kayak)...you'll find that having an assortment of different lines and a fishfinder will completely stunt your development of a wide flyfishing skillset...but will not...

    Life getting in the way of fishing... sigh

    It's best (if possible) to diversify one's outdoor recreational interests to reduce the impact of short seasons, climate change, regulatory modifications, and access. Nothing sadder than building an entire life around a few weeks of deer hunting season or a few months of fishing season. Lots of...

    Not only is it now common for journalists to report on complex subjects for which they completely lack even a rudimentary understanding, most newspapers/news organizations have long been cutting any investigative journalism staff they once may have employed. Quick fluff pieces are simply...

    Idaho

    Why am I not surprised....we've decisively demonstrated, at so many levels, that laws, regulations, treaties, convention, and decency.....just don't mean anything anymore.

    Nobody died...not even a turkey.

    Or just buy a big fat butterball of a domestic turkey that tastes much better. Now cue up the responses...."you just don't know how to prepare it" and/or "it has a wonderful nutty wild natural flavor" (described by non-wild turkey devotees as "nasty gamey tasting meat with a texture similar to...
