    LAST MINUTE NORTH SOUND: Lagers & Letters with TU (skagit CnR season, etc)

    This was a good overview on whats going on with Quicksilver and steelhead on the North Sound rivers. Sounds like the January-March 2026 season would take an act of god to make happen, and theres not a ton of hope for the January - March 2027 season either. There have been positive responses from...

    LAST MINUTE NORTH SOUND: Lagers & Letters with TU (skagit CnR season, etc)

    There is another one of these tonight at Farmstrong in Mt. Vernon: https://us17.campaign-archive.com/?u=24abc5fc5d5d8831c58523e9c&id=44ef5f12c2 My wife told me I should go, probably just a sneaky excuse to get rid of me for a few hours but I'll take the excuse to grab a beer.

    NFR AI - How It Will Affect Jobs In The Next 5 years

    Representations of "AI" in media are older than anyone here: I've been around what we are now calling AI for a while, tangentially people I knew were doing stuff with early NL stuff in the early 2000s when I was in undergrad at Georgia Tech. As I've worked in tech fields over the past couple...

    Coho 2025

Saw a coho rolling but none to hand. Did make contact with a good amount of chum swinging a fly, and by the middle of...

    Pass Lake Toxic Algae report.

    I haven't driven off the island since sunday. I asked my wife for a report and she said she didn't think the barrels were there but she wasn't actually paying attention. So no real news. I might make a trip one way or the other tomorrow to get a look.

    Getting started with fly tying

    Hareline has a basic starter kit with and without tools. I got the one without tools when I was starting and found it helpful. Comes with a book with some common patterns that all use different techniques and all the materials you need for them. I found that an easy way to start, the problem...

    Affordable places you would actually want to live

    Basically went through this a couple years ago, although there are no kids in our house. Wife wanted to leave Portland because she was tired of living in the city. She wanted more winter and neither one of us wanted to move to the east. Also needed to be closer to her family in Vancouver. I...

    Seeing as their contact info is for a street in "City of Syracuse, Wisconsin" and there is no Syracuse Wisconsin, I'd say its pretty safe that its a scam.

    Gunfire and Brain Injury

    The main exposure source of lead is the lead styphnate used in the centerfire primer*, which is one of the several reasons for the insane ventilation required at indoor ranges, which is why they're so cold. *Obviously not true if you're being shot . . .then it would be the bullet.

    Gunfire and Brain Injury

    This is one of the (many) reasons I avoid indoor ranges, and would frankly never go to an indoor range that allowed rifles. Its also why you should be publicly shamed for putting a muzzle brake on things like AR-15s in 5.56 if all you're doing is sitting on a bench and plinking, all you're doing...
