I really don't know where to start this thread, so I'll begin it here. Was playing around with swinging a wet fly on my local river. There's this one riffle I see from the highway as I'm coming & going that looks especially fishy to me. So I devised a plan, take the Watermaster on a float...

I could never get my old external frame backpack under 45 lbs, 55 was kinda the norm. Was young & stronger than smart for sure. Remember throwing big cans of Dinty Moore beef stew in for dinner, a smallish cast iron skillet for trout. I used to pack in my SLR with a push pull 70-210mm zoom for...

While at Enjar & Hamar I was looking hard at that rock wall directly to the East. Up & over that then down the valley would lead a guy to Snowking lake right at the base of the mountain. I had been there previously & the fish in that turquoise colored lake absolutely lacked any fear of man...

Put a little no name spoon on it and took it along in the raft. Hooked a decent red-band native the old stick had a healthy bend in it & made me smile. Makes trout in the 10-14" range quite sporty. That tiny reel is a crack up, makes an unusualy loud sound while on retrieve that I didn't...

Another example is Whites boots, here's a little background. White's Boots originated in 1853 when Edward White established a one-man handmade shoe shop in Virginia. Built initially for loggers and miners, the family business relocated to the Pacific Northwest in the early 1900s. Today, the...

I find it interesting how different brands can reinvent themselves. Or perhaps how a subgroup of users will imbrace a legacy brand and make it there own. Case in point. My 97 yo father in law has a favorite sipping whisky here's some history on it, it's know as I.W. Harper "Isaac Wolfe...

If you do a WTB be braced for scammers & vet them accordingly

He spoke with reporters today had his Femur broken in 4 places & lots of bruises. He's a tough guy, l hope this event makes a comfortable retirement for him after he heals up

I'm really glad he's ok, that could have easily been fatal
