Any team you want can play football in the Pac ... as long as the name of the team ends in "state". Well good. The Pac-2 was a little sparse.

Well hell, gott'a support the team ! 😬

Where's the vise ?

A friend of mine was able to catch cutts with a bare hook at Mann Lake in Oregon. He was a hell of a fly angler and we joked that he could probably catch the trout with just a fly hook. Just for the heck of it he gave it a try and did catch fish. Seems to me if something is at the correct...

If the pieces fit, chances are the mutant rod will cast and fight just fine .... unless one of the rods is an Ugly Stick 😱

We were visiting my Wife's Grandmother in Olympia when the mountain blew. I-5 was closed so we had to take a very long trip down 101 to Astoria. The bridge at Astoria was a traffic jam so it took about an hour just to get across the bridge. While driving from Astoria to Portland we rounded...

it's an atlantic salmon That's what it looks like to me.... 😁

Well ... there ya go... hard to argue with a divine statistic.

Caddis nymphs will use whatever is handy to make their cases. The sand and pebbles seem to make round cases. Pine needles and the like end up as squared off cases. If you put the larva in a habitat that only has aluminum foil for use to make cases, they'll use the foil. If you give...

I'd say tkww is on the right track. Depending where you were fishing (as in the Mckenzie River) it may have been a hatch of "Mckenzie Caddis". Personally, I've never seen a hatch of the Mckenzie Caddis (aka Mother's Day Caddis) but I fish more below Eugene then above it...

As far as a caddis emerger pattern to use goes, there are many, many different patterns to choose from. In theory, a traditional soft hackle in the color of your choice is supposed to imitate a caddis emerger but as usual, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. I've actually had fairly...

I agree with Evan.

Cancer treatment has become better and better so I have the highest hopes for your complete recovery.

I carry a wallet size passport so until it expires, I figure it should be good enough for ID.

Well, I'm shocked. Of the three states, Idaho, Oregon and Washington, I just assumed you guys had digital licenses before we did in Idaho and Oregon. Shocked, I tell you, shocked. 😲 (To be perfectly honest, I don't always carry my phone when fishing so I printed a copy of my Oregon...

Oh man, I'm sorry to read this. Steve was the one who called me when he was the original editor of NW Flyfishing Magazine and wanted me to produce cartoons for the publication. I always got along great with Steve. He was a great guy. RIP

IIs the Garman portable and contained in a single unit like the Fishin Buddy?

When "trolling" I'm not just moving at a constant speed with a single presentation. Normally I use two flies at once and I will most definitely use different sinking lines to cover different holding depths. I'll also twitch the line or retrieve it a few times then let it drift back. Or...

I'm another fan of trolling stillwaters.... for the same reasons mentioned by others. Besides.... for me it works quite well.

I probably tie more WBs than any other pattern. That one would be fairly easy if you knew the ingredients. But if you don't tie flies, it may be a problem finding a shop that sells that particular pattern. It doesn't look like something that is universal.
