You can't go wrong with most Dire Straits songs.

I'm not superstitious but I do know a couple of facts that I have gained from experience: 1) no one in your fishing group should ever, ever say "well at least it can't rain any harder", because it will. 2) no one should ever say that catching Yellowstone Cutts with dry flies is too easy...

I'm also a fan of Holmes but not really a purist. There is a version on Britbox staring Jeremy Brett that I really enjoyed. It showed Holmes as a bit dingy but not over the top dingy like the Robert Downey Jr. version.

I've tried a lot of weedless patterns but it is usually the leader or fly line that hangs up on the vegetation just as much as the fly. It could be that because I'm using a SuperCat pontoon boat my angle is too shallow and if I was casting from a boat, I might not hang up as much. Great...

I know in the past (all the way back to the beginning in Eugene) there was never a problem with someone doing demonstration tying at an open table. I know some guys who started out by showing up and tying and they were officially invited back the following year. I can't think of one ol' guy...

Washington cascades snow pack: 53% of normal Oregon cascades snow pack: 35% of normal Unless we have a wet summer, this does not bode well.

I don't fish for carp but that doesn't stop them from ending up on the end of my line when I'm fishing for LMB. I didn't know carp would try to eat baitfish patterns I use for bass but sometimes they do.

If I get sick because I read this entire thread..... I'll be pissed !

Good point ! :)

A few years ago at Munsel Lake in Oregon, law enforcement was giving citations to anglers using pontoon boats or float tubes if they didn't have a whistle or air horn while on the water. Evidently a lot of folks weren't aware of the requirement to carry a noise maker when fishing on the...

My understanding is that any floating craft with any manner of motor must be registered with the numbers on the craft. I know I had to pay a yearly registration fee for my canoe because I used an electric motor. I figured they added in the waterway pass amount to the registration fee for...

Yup, but they removed the clause about 10 feet and over. Now it covers just about anything that floats.

I don't know if anyone has brought this up before but there is a new fee you'll pay each year if you float and fish in Oregon. It's called a Waterway Access Permit. You can find the regs that require a permit here: https://odfw.huntfishoregon.com/customer/catalog Waterway Access Permit -...

Good grief ! I had no idea the cutts there grew so large ! I see the use of ladders is still the thing ...

Once I looked up the rules for Curling, I can now see the skill and strategy required to win ... it reminds me of Pool or Snooker on ice. The point seems to be screwing up the position of the other team.

Who would have thought one of the largest controversies and bruhaha of the entire games was in Curling. Curling :oops: (I had no idea there was a way you could cheat in Curling)

When I first started fishing (back when Sage was born) a 6 weight was considered the all around weight. Mainly because you could also use it for steelhead. Then people started switching downward to a size 5. Then a size 4. I have rods in almost all sizes and right now I primarily...

It was a shock when Rogue closed up. I didn't know Widmer had gone the way of the wild goose.

1:00 PM seems to be a very popular time for BWOs to hatch during the colder months. It was always around 1:00 that the hatch came off on the Met, the McKenzie, the Willamette plus the secret rivers I once fished. NIce fish photo.

Many years ago, I caught a similar bright fish in an Oregon S river. I thought it must be a "jack steelhead" but after looking closely, I could finally see the hint of orange color under the jaw. At the time, one of my fishing buddies was a regional fish biologist for the river where I...
