I went a slightly different route, but not too far off what you did. I bought a cot that sits about 4" above the bed. Then I placed a shelf up against the back of the cab sitting on the sides of the truck body against the inside of the topper. With my feet toward the cab (extending under the...

This is really timely for me, as I predict a new hip in my future. Since retirement I have to think about which month(s) I can most easily spend hobbling... probably late winter/early spring (after the ski season; before fishing, wing foiling or gardening seasons start heating up). I'm humbled...

Necessity is a mother! I was able to buy a few used parts (we have a great source for recycled building materials here in Hood River) and craft these rod holders. This is just a prototype, but I think it will prove the concept.

My favorite Steven Wright riff: When asked by a border crossing agent if he has any firearms, he responded: What do you need?

I'm looking for suggestions for roof racks that mount to (pre-installed) t-tracks.

I recently fished the Deschutes during a pretty big March Brown hatch with little success. Despite the number of naturals floating by, the fish weren't interested. I tried again a few days later. The hatch was much lighter, but still no takers. I did see a few good-sized 'bows breaching like...

MISSING THE PUN OPPORTUNITY: HARE LIP; 10 YARD PENALTY

Why is it that when climate change comes up politicians say "I'm not a scientist", yet when womens' health is discussed they speak as thought they're all gynecologists?

Wisdom from the ages: "It is only when a mosquito lands on your testicles that you realize there is always a way to solve problems without using violence."

My wife bought me some cologne called LEAVE ME THE FUH Do you suppose she's trying to tell me something?

I've said it before but it bears repeating: If you can fall in love with the fishing then you'll never be disappointed. The catching will come!

Where are you fishing? The canyon offers the best opportunity for varied bank access and wading. The Cle Elum area offers some opportunity to walk the river and get back to the starting point without heroic measures or extensive bushwacking. I echo the sentiments above about tie on the water...

I was really inspired by Wading for Change - about the Texas transplant to Jackson Hole. The 'star' started a program to introduce fly fishing to kids who might never otherwise be exposed to it. All of them were a nice antidote to the late-winter blahs. Fish Porn at its best!

Wednesday evening, 2 showings 5:00 and 7:00 (Please verify this on their website) at Andrew's Pizza, Hood River.

Oh boy. That'll REALLY cost you.

If I'm nymphing on the Yak or the Deschutes, my typical rig is a well weighted Pat's rubberlegs, with a dropper matching one of the bugs du jour. (This could be a caddis pupa, a mayfly or a midge. My usual go-to is a pheasant tail, copper John, prince or zebra midge.) On lakes I still use 2...

I remember going into a (so-called) deli in the PNW and asking if the corned beef was lean. The guy behind the counter (who clearly didn't grow up eating deli) said, very enthusiastically: Yes! Very lean! Who the hell likes lean corned beef? I suppose it could have been worse. He could have...

I've often thought how cool it could be for a tech savvy newbie to fake an invoice for a costly Board Stretcher from a local tool supplier made out to his or her employer and then submitting it for reimbursement. Turnabout is fair play, no?

Several years back my wife and I took a detour onto one of the FS roads in Chinook Pass for a picnic lunch. On the way back out to the highway we encountered a mountain lion on a narrow section of road. The steep banks on either side channeled the cat and gave us the chance to follow it for...

Didn't I see something like that in an old James Bond movie, only those were supposedly piranhas.
