Hope some (not the part that kills people) of that gets to New Mexico soon. My mom says Santa Fe is still pretty dry. Meanwhile, round here, Fall starts tomorrow. Western WA has weathered this El Nino relatively unscathed so far. Doesn't mean the ocean isn't all kinds of screwed up, and we will...

Wow. All class right there, @Coach Potter . May we all be so fortunate one day as to have a good friend take us fishing... one last time.

Seeing lots of pics of coho recently. Numbers must be okay. Weather is definitely changing next week, which should only bring more. Here we go!

Dolly was amazing. Great talent, and by all accounts a greater person. Not too shabby on the Silver Screen either. 9 to 5 and Best Little Whorehouse in Texas are flat out good fun!

Was just wondering if this had made the thread yet. As usual, I'm late to the party. I came across this while watching... you guessed it, King Gizzard videos. As someone who has played drums and guitar for a while (in mediocre style), I think these dudes are LEGIT! Both amazing players if you...

The ultimate measure of both coolness and utility.

Yeah, but coho and corn taste like dogshit.

That's TWO DAVES, flat gettin' it done! I need a new name....

Heathens! Fools! Oh, well. More for you and me!

Duuuude! Keep it down, Bro!

I thought I was the only one who knew about the trophy bass in Soap Lake!

This points out the biggest risk with Internet-fed AIs: They make decisions, like an analyst does, based on data trends. If you feed an AI enough misinformation, it can be convinced to provide wrong answers to important questions. And what is the Internet (much as we love it) absolutely full of?

Buy (or make) a couple Wicked Lures. The "trout killer" size will probably be your best bet. Fish them behind enough lead to get you in the zone. A lot of Mayfield seems to be surprisingly shallow, so you might not need more than an ounce or so, and you could probably use inline weights, which...

Google gave me a dry fly Spey leader formula that worked great a couple weeks back! It's okay to tell the world the how; the where (and sometimes when) is what we need to protect. Fishing the wrong water effectively yields less success than fishing the right water like a hack 9/10... or is it...

I forgot to mention a scenario where these projects could actually do more harm than good (for salmon anyway): Harvest seasons are planned based on estimated returns minus escapement for a given fishery. If assumptions are made that opening up this habitat will produce a certain number of...

These culvert projects, generally speaking, are the "right thing" to do. There's no question we have destroyed or cut off access to a LOT of anadromous spawning habitat with non-present and non-functional culverts. No doubt, if we're to recover (or even sustain) wild fish populations, the...

My tolerance for increasing costs on tying materials is apparently infinite. Once I find something I like that doesn't have a lot of great alternatives, I'll apparently pay anything. I suppose I'll go broke at some point, and that should slow me down. It's even worse for gear fishing these...

Great way to promote more sustainable fisheries in the dog days.

Bummer. Back to Earth for the US team and fans. Not much went right tonight, but Belgium looked like the better team, start to finish. US Soccer has come a long way, but there's still at least one more long way to go before they can compete for a championship. Was fun to watch for sure...

Florida. Have been to Europe and Mexico, but no fishing (it was a sad, misguided chapter in my life). Want to go just about every point abroad named in the thread but probably will only make a few, which is fine; the American West is still pretty awesome for a trout bum at heart.
