    Weird shad numbers

    I'm headed for my annual shad & carp adventure in the gorge and I don't think I've ever seen this- I have fun with shad, but I'm completely ok with fewer shad. Just hope it's not a pre-cursor for any bad salmon & steelhead returns. Spring kings weren't great and lamprey and sockeye definitely...

    What are you wearing?

    To answer the subject....a cotton t-shirt, cotton pants and cotton underwear. Smart wool socks.

    NBA 2025-26

    I almost turned it off after that challenge that not only negated the foul on Wemby, but instead gave it to Towns for supposedly hooking. He did the best job ever of NOT hooking. Wemby fouled him a couple times on the drive before the shot. Original foul was correct. I like Wemby, but the...

    A Flexbar and some naproxen and you'll be good in no time. PT is the key. Hope you feel better!

    Also, context is everything- Growing the Cotton (~99% of the footprint): The vast majority of this water is used for irrigation to grow the cotton crop, as well as natural rainfall absorbed by the plants.

    Another Two Fly Question

    If my top fly is a balanced leech, the knot to the leech is an improved clinch. If the top fly is a mid or a 60 degree jig, the knot is a non-slip loop. Although I often get lazy with the jigs and just use the imp clinch. If the top fly is a balanced leech, I tie the bottom fly leader around...

    Very Memorable Experiences in your Life

    I'll go with 2 positives that shaped my recreational life. And the cool thing is both memories have pics and both are in the same driveway, only about 5 feet from each other. The first one is the best toy present I've ever had. Not sure any future toy, whether a present or a purchase will come...

    Sky not until Nov 1st.

    I commented on the South Fork Sky & tribs BS on the following page- https://engage.wdfw.wa.gov/nof2026recreationalcr102 **EDIT- And BTW, they are proposing an even shorter season! The Saturday before Memorial day to June 30.** Please consider doing the same. I didn't hold back. I also sent a...

    Sky not until Nov 1st.

    Thanks for the great insight Curt. I have written my US rep Kim Schrier and will write my Senators and state foks as well. The fact that NOAA included the waters above Sunset as an ESU is ridiculous. Is that water good spawning and rearing habitat? Yeah, probably. I'm sure the native trout...

    Sky not until Nov 1st.

    And this is complete bullshit as well- So I can't fish my #14 Elk Hair Caddis on the Miller in August or Sept because I might "encounter" a king.

    Starlink User Opinions

    Oh I'm aware of why they think they have to do it. I just don't agree with it. So the network is too crowded for me unless I pay a $1000 fee? Some areas are $1500 now. So if everyone just keeps paying the fee will they actually improve the network for all the new subscribers? They don't state...

    Starlink User Opinions

    I'm in the SE Seattle metro area suburbs, just east of Kent. Comcast is the big wired provider here. T-Mobile & Verizon both have 5G boxes that provide great 300-400 Mbps speeds for a wireless solution. Both that work in a power outage as long as you plug their power source into a generator...

    The giant ditch on the Oregon/Washington border

    If you are in waters like the Columbia that have freshwater Asian clams like these guys- Then the "special" carp fly is the Hybrid by John "Montana" Bartlett. It is the GOAT on any water with them, which is pretty much anything touching or connected the Columbia. Even places like Lake Tapps...

    Finally on the board for 2026

    Played around with CapCut for a little video action. Not that I need any extra stoke for more carpin. 😁
