Dick's has Simms Freestone Zipper Waders on sale...

Looking for size small zipper front waders. If you got a pair gathering dust, let me know!

That's a generous offer for someone!

Listen to some John Prine. Make getting out fishing with friends a priority so you don't get in your head to much. I have no idea what life is going to bring you but at 24 there is a whole lot more coming. Learn the lesson of Orpheus and don't look back.

Lot of places I'd like to visit again. Though I found over the years that I always wanted to come back to the northwestern US in the end. If I had to pick one country to go back to again, it would be Eritrea. It's a pariah country now days. But because of that and history of conflict it's also...

Poppers and a 3 wt are super fun on the John Day. My daughter's kind of generally luke warm on fly fishing, but is always asking when we're going to the JD. Though maybe that's for the milkshakes at the Dinty Mart on the way home....

Looks like quantum entanglement to me. Maybe take the spool off the reel?

Now I'm jigging curious - that rod is not the broomstick I was envisioning. Tuna on a trout rod sounds - interesting. On fly only trips, we haven't really target fish that aren't close to the boat going for live bait (not including the troll/slide). And I have yet to see jumpers on a trip.

How would you compare jigging for tuna with casting and stripping flies when the tuna are aggressive and reasonably up in the water by the boat? I've only done the second, but it's pretty damn fun, especially visual takes and rejections. Only draw back to stripping flies seems to me that it...

I've been looking at cars (changing up the vehicle mix, don't need two cars with ICEs). I've seen Foresters on Craigslist in Portland that are reasonably close to both criteria with clean titles. Not many and they are older.

Looks like you got the slam! And the flying pelican pic is sweet!

Managed to go for a couple days fishing in central Oregon a few days ago. With so many good lakes to fish, it's always hard to decide where to go and what to fish for. Lately I have been trying to target browns when I get the opportunity. So decided to try a lake I have had good luck on browns...

My favorite trout rod is a 2 piece 5wt RPL. Tons of mojo in that rod. Just wish I also had it in a 6 wt.

This is what I've been doing: Steak some tuna loins about 3/4th inch thick. Coat in a coarse salt for 10-12 minutes. Wash off all the salt with tap water. Put on a rack in frig for an hour or two. Smoke for 1 hour. Make a mix of chili garlic sauce and brown sugar. I eye ball it but roughly...

I've started smoking last years tuna. Makes pretty good snacks.

If I recall correctly, @adamcu280 got about 45 lbs from 5 1/2 albacore last year. In my limited experience the tuna were typical size ( except for one peanut).

I was impressed with Chance last year. Seemed pretty knowledgeable about fly fishing for tuna.

Looks like some good Farrar stuff for marlin flies

How does the old Buffet song go? "But ah, the stories we could tell, and if it all blows up and goes to hell, I wish that we could sit upon a bed in some hotel, and listen to the stories we could tell." I like to save them for campfires when my kids are around. Or over a tequila when the sun is...

That Mag Bay box is looking pretty sweet. I need to start tying a few soon.
