Ha! Well there you go. How odd!

I have had more than a few excellent sessions because I packed along a rod and a handful of flies for a work trip. Sadly, the trip next week has a tightly packed schedule and is also in a location with virtually zero accessible water options. But you're not wrong in general.

I know, I know. First world problems. -

What's the deal with work, kids, parents, pets, chores, maintenance, and the rest of life getting in the way of fishing? I have been getting shafted by life over the past few weeks. The weather is glorious, the gear is ready, fish are starting to be active... Josh is busy dealing with some...

Has anyone done their own deep cleaning of a mini split? Videos like this one don't make it seem that difficult (famous last words). I have a battery powered pressure washer of appropriate power. But I'd need to track down the correct cleaning product and one of those bib kits. The SpeedClean...

Good feedback so far, everyone. Please continue to send more!

@Mossback & @Matt B Much appreciated! Makes sense.

True. But I suspect any acid would cause the same curdling of the dairy. Unless there's some magic method that I'm not aware of to avoid that.

I had a long and detailed dream the other night about losing a giant largemouth to a river-style logjam. Now, that water and logjam was also somehow in the gym of my kids' school and the bell was ringing for class. Not sure what was up with that. Dreams are weird.

Gotta be some way to get you a fish or two before then. I mean, my bass boat has old-man comfy casting seats I can set up for gimpy injured folks...

Okay, let's be clear, I've lived in the PNW my entire life and I'm well aware of our multiple false spring/summer phases. Just because the sun is out this week doesn't mean we don't have inches of rain ahead before the nice weather takes hold. That said. about this time each year our wet and...

Dude, what? Where did I bring up all of this societal stuff you’ve so strongly clapped back at me about? Show me. I said armchair quarterbacks are lame. And they are.

Lulz. Clown statement, bro. Yeah, it matters. Pretending otherwise is like claiming to understand military service after reading a bunch of warfare books and watching the history channel. While it's not impossible to have a deep understanding of what it takes to raise kids without having any...

UPDATE: I gave the Serious Eats Kenji recipe a shot this evening. Overall, it was pretty good. I used about half the bacon to keep the grease/sodium down and used chicken stock instead of clam juice (family preferences, but also keeps sodium down). Other than that, stuck to the recipe. I let it...

I meant that I didn't know if the recipe was the same between Serious Eats and Kenji's own YT channel. Same Kenji, for sure. That said, I just noticed that the Serious Eats version has "Updated 12/21/25" on it. So it seems likely to be the same recipe both places.

That's actually the same recipe as the Serious Eats one I linked above. Well, to be fair, I have no idea if they are the SAME. Kenji (guy on the video) also wrote the Serious Eats article. Maybe the more recent video version is updated or different? Probably worth a watch to check.

I've got some salmon in the freezer that needs to get used up. So I was thinking of seeing how it would work in some salmon chowder. Never made a single bowl of that before, though. Anyone have a recipe they particularly like? Absent any other suggestions, I was going to riff off of the...

Hmmmm, historical evidence across this and the previous forum doesn't ENTIRELY support your findings. Here's some video footage of a "Are beads considered flies?" thread.

Stepping away from the hot-button feelings about social networks themselves... It is important to remember that, imperfect though it may be, Section 230 is also what allows sites like pnwflyfishing.com to operate. If we were held liable for every stupid thing that someone posted or uploaded to...
