I have too many fly rods. Especially for the amount of free time I have to actually get out and fish them. So goes life. I suspect I'm not alone in this. But I also am extremely tired of having a giant messy pile of rod tubes that I can't easily access but yet are in the way all the time. Who...

I picked up a cheap no-name "Naviskin" bimini top from Amazon to put on my little Bass Tracker Classic boat. Mostly for the wife to read under if she joins me or so I can anchor up and work in the shade from a cell connection once in a while. The hardware it comes with is cheapo nylon. And while...

Lots of good stuff shared so far, thank you all! I do like that nobody mentioned farm raised steelhead or salmon (even though, as I said, the floor was open to anything). That said, I suppose I don't have as strong of feelings about farmed freshwater fish as much as I do about net-pen farmed...

That sounds awesome. Sure wish swordfish wasn't so packed with mercury. I feel weird about eating it more than once in a while.

Oh, for sure. The point of the exercise was more intended to be about the rando fish species at the store. Not the ones we know and love when they are in season. But don't get me wrong, I'm not above grabbing some fresh sockeye from a good local retailer.

Yes, yes. We all love fresh caught salmon or trout. Some of us are even crazy enough to make long runs to the coast to fill the freezer with halibut, tuna, lingcod, etc (looking in your direction, @Evan B). But what about when you want to put some fish on the table but are limited to whatever...

Love this! Very real-life trip report. Lemons, lemonade, etc. Strong work.

You and me both, friend. Great report. Beauty scenery and fish! Really hard charging to hit all of them in that timeframe. Very impressive!

Damn! That's a load of carp.

Make or buy a set of flipper keepers. The standard Outcast fins come with a set installed. Outcast also sells the keepers separately. A set of the style that bodysurfers use are even cheaper and would likely work. They are also pretty easy to make if you have some paracord, nylon webbing...

Pretty day and pretty fish. And agreed on the glasses!

Hey Josh, next time you are trying to figure out what cables you bought and then left unlabeled in the bottom of the "boat projects" storage bin, it's these 24" 8awg SAE connectors: https://amzn.to/4agvlbG

Gonna take me at LEAST that long to figure out how to cast a 15wt broomstick.

FINALLY, a rod beefy enough to cast @Billy ’s largemouth flies!

That said, it sure doesn't SEEM like those tubes are at Costco this season. At least not those in Western WA/OR.

@Old406Kid, did you end up looking into these any further? In an older thread @Sir Homey mentions that, in his opinion, the Outcast Summit is more or less a copy of the Caddis Nevada. https://pnwflyfishing.com/forum/index.php?threads/outcast-osg-summit-float-tube.6286/post-145276 No idea if...

Old thread, but one worth bumping even for my silly question. @Dave Westburg what do you wear with those fins? Boots? Just wader stocking feet?

This all feels very familiar.

Pond gills on poppers. One of my favorite ways to fish. If I ever tire of them, I hope someone gives me a swift punch in the gut and tells me to get my head out of my ass.

Could be this for sure. Large organizations (govt, private, etc) all seem to get sucked into complicated supply chain processes that cause problems. But I also wonder if that amazon paper is not the same stuff that the WDFW license printing machine uses. I feel like the license paper is a lot...
