Just got my squatch shirt. I wore it at the gym and had to explain to more than one person what "PNW" means. Good quality & appropriately sized.

A perfect example or why tying is cheaper than buying flies (as if);)

Easy, cheap elegant fix for mine pollution runoff. I suspect it would work elsewhere (Butte?). Nice to see a good story for a change https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/06/25/climate/west-virginia-pollution-cleanup-coal-mine.html?unlocked_article_code=1.S08.nRNU.yTMJtporu1eE&smid=url-share

Another share from WAPO that I can't guarantee will work Is this "better" than farmed Salmon? Is this the start of Frankenfish? If you can grow fish in the lab, why try to save wild species? At least they are using Pacific species as the basis for their cell lines https://wapo.st/444Dv4i

This is a Wash Post share, so it should be available, but I can't guarantee. It is an interesting look at activism as it involves the Elwha River restoration vs logging https://wapo.st/3I5px9D

I try to have as much sex as I can.

Get your superglue at Harbor Freight. You can get a 10 pack of gel glue for about $5.

Contact your local TU chapter and/or fly shops. Most (all?) sponsor tying classes. Also, check Craigs List for local sales of vises. Don't spend a ton of money on your first vise. Get a feel for the "art" before making a large money commitment

Purple Haze, Rusty Spinner

Saddest story I ever turd.

I don't have a pic as I never take phone in canoe, but I caught a fair number of Largemouth Bass on a Purple Haze Dun last week. I saw a dark Mayfly in the air which I believed to be a Slate Drake (Isonychia) so I tied on a #12 Purple Haze. One of the Bass was in the 2lb plus range which is...

Wait, somebody trying to scam me on the internet? I'm shocked, just shocked!
