The heat dome that occurred in 2021 and again just recently are unprecedented in modern instrumented temperature records of the PNW. They’re complete statistical anomalies, so it is hard to even know just how rare they are. Best guess (based on a lot of data) is they’d historically occur from...

I find the handle on the trout size Danielsson reels too small. It’s fine on the 7/10, 8/12, and up. I asked about getting a big handle on a small reel and they can’t make it fit.

No telling if they’ll have the ducats to bring them all back, but the makings of a dynasty if they can

Them’s fighting words :LOL: I share Charles Barkley’s opinion on the Lakers. I like to watch well-contested, interesting games. These finals ain’t that. There had potential, though. If Boston would just choke a bit, and if the Dallas team that beat Minnesota’s formidable defense for the...

Through 3 games, Tatum has been shooting 36% overall and 30% from three. Pretty poor, but lucky for them, he knows that pressure isn’t his thing and has developed enough sense to pass. Pretty boring series though, IMO and IOPO, too

I used to fish for stripers regularly when my (now) wife lived a block from the ocean in New England. I knew they’d been planted various places, but wasn’t aware they’d been planted in Alabama. Looked it up. What the what...

Yes, the numbering system is weird. I go by the lower numbers (e.g., the 8-12 and 9-13 reels are good for 8,9,10 lines … wouldn’t want to squeeze a full 11 wt line on considering most 11 wt fish can run very far, very fast). The backing capacities listed online are realistic. The drags are...

Danielsson 8-12 or 9-13, they’re the same size, the 9-13 has a little beefier frame (which is not needed for stripers or salmon). These are my 9 and 10 wt reels. The USD SEK exchange rate is good right now. Ordering reel + spool = free shipping. I just got a Danielsson delivery couple days...

the W channel was stuffed with shad last week

Blueness comes from biliverdin in bile and serum. Blueness is far more prevalent in females. Blueness is related to poor dietary condition. However, only in males also expressed as higher parasite loads (males have weaker immune systems than females)...

With Boston favored by many to win it, it’d be vastly more interesting if they didn’t. (sorry) Wolves are surgically good, but for me OKC’s ball movement makes them the most fun to watch

Many of the lakes are open all year and some are small enough to be well suited to a pontoon

Though Jimmy Butler is the team’s leader, the Miami Heat’s win-loss percentage this season is slightly better without Jimmy on the court. A testament to a well-coached, disciplined team. The rough-and-tumble nature of playoff ball doesn’t always benefit those teams (and individuals) with the...

around 20 years ago, a friend involved in domestic fly line production lamented to me that the packaging cost more than the fly lines themselves. Let that sink in. It is hard to imagine that’s changed. And another who built a fly line extruder and is now selling flylines domestically, one...

The refs made sure the 76ers wouldn’t have that opportunity https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/knicks-vs-76ers-nba-report-says-refs-made-multiple-mistakes-against-philly-in-loss-that-led-to-grievance/

My 17.5’ aluminum sled is advertised as a dual-purpose “power/rowing” boat of the sort this thread has drifted towards. Called a jet drifter, but realistically it is 99% jet and 1% drifter. A small jet boat with oars. 2 outboards (main, kicker) and no rocker makes the stern very sluggish to...

Generally agree with Evan, but there’s lots of different kinds of rivers in the world. Near me, 8-9.9hp motors often push driftboats upriver through modest riffles to access good holes above boat ramps, before floaters make it down. Usually they can only get 2-3 holes upriver before an impasse...

I use 2 wide rubber bands, overlapping a little, with the mono sticking up between them. It grips the mono extremely well. I like the rubber bands that come with broccoli

a final nutrient treatise (this is my sub-specialty in science) Across multiple studies in WA, OR, ID, and BC where nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus) have been added experimentally to streams, there have been inconsistent responses of algal growth. Many sites show more algal growth, but 1/3 of...
