    NFR Trucks?

    Funny how shapes and fit differ. I’m 6’5” and the legroom seems just right - maxed out. I drive Ford and Chevy trucks at work and have to move the seat up just a hair.

    NFR Trucks?

    Are there other data-driven, long term reliability reports? Do you know others? I’m interested. Not JD Powers 1 yr stuff.

    Worst case of blue-green algae I've seen on a western WA lake 11/30/2023

    Yes, it’s possible, the toxins can be present in small wadable streams. Possible but impossible to say without testing. Presence of the candidate blue-green algae does not necessarily mean they’re producing toxins. However, to appreciate the potential reach of the issue, there’s even a report...

    Seems plausible, most golf courses are fertilized to the hilt. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S030147971931535X

    Worst case of blue-green algae I've seen on a western WA lake 11/30/2023

    Few folks consider that fish stocking can be a large nutrient/phosphorus input to lakes, in some cases larger than shoreline development. Hatchery fish are fed a nutrient-rich diet and they excrete that stuff into lakes where they’re stocked. Uncaught fish decompose and release nutrients into...

    Worst case of blue-green algae I've seen on a western WA lake 11/30/2023

    I got my Master’s degree studying lakes in western WA, including a few on Fidalgo Island. Short story is that many lakes in western WA are very shallow, which keeps them in a perpetually eutrophic state. Nutrients and blue-green algae (in a resting state) get stored in the sediments and...

    2024 WA Coastal Steelhead Regs

    The runs are depressed - if one believes the data. It sounds like you don’t think the data are good enough to drive policy decisions, of which ESA listing is the big one. NOAA seems to think the data are good enough to consider ESA listing. If not using data - even if imperfect data - then...

    Non-Fly Jig Twitching - What you all doin!?

    True, it’s been a couple of posts since someone mentioned their favorite spinning rod or 1/2 oz jig, but don’t tune out just yet. Remember, it was fly guys who brought you beads and spawned an entire sub-industry of dirt-baggery. They might know a thing or two.

    2024 WA Coastal Steelhead Regs

    Yes, the data are imperfect. By criticizing the denominator - run size - are you saying that the reported decline and depleted status of OP steelhead is bunk? Further, if those data are suspect, how could one ever prove that angling has no impact? Sh!tty data cuts both ways. Just depends if...

    NFR Any actual good online "black friday" or "cyber monday" deals you found?

    One of the first things I did with my cordless drill was make adaptors to quick-chill bottles and cans by spinning them in an ice bath. Just 2 minutes for a cold one. It one way to leverage your purchase into a “good experience”

    Support Your Local Fly Shop

    It’s been years (unfortunately) since myself or many of my friends have stepped into our local shop. This includes several guides and deeply embedded locals. Note to shop owners: maybe be less blatantly partisan with customers, and consider supporting at least some fish/water conservation...

    On line supplies?

    fwiw, they likely don’t have everything stocked in the store, but they get shipments daily from Hareline and so are able to fulfill most orders without delay. I end up ordering from them at times because they don’t stock items when I’m there in person.

    I wonder how long it will take the Clippers to figure out how to improve with Harden? The 76ers seemed to benefit immediately after unloading him.
