I am an amber/copper/bronze lens person, because I was always under the impression you wanted the lens color to match your background. For a long time I wore Hobie's and they worked. Recently, I got a pair of smith's on closeout and there is a noticeable difference in color contrast. Does...

I saw someone collecting signatures at a farmers market a couple of years ago (one of the failed times). They are being vague or outright dishonest in getting signatures. "Would you like to help stop cruelty to animals?" Enough people didn't think much past that and they'd accept your...

I just use 20-ish feet of tri-color sighter to a tippet ring for my entire leader It would save you a lot of knot tying. I currently use 5x, but it's sold up to like 15 pound by different brands.

Amnesia can work for a super light euro nymphing leader, but there are better materials out there.

Maxima is stiffer and is good leader butt material. Good for turnover. Good for an indicator leader. The leader that comes to mind that has chameleon ending with amnesia is a euro nymphing leader, where the amnesia is not really for turnover, but just for visibility, it's usually a smaller...

It's not just about ballots. It's being driven into the ground with "Delivering for America" and the pre-funding of retirement so it can be split up to contractors or just allowed to fail so private carriers can pick up the pieces.

Cool story: Trout fished the Brule river on Minnesota's North shore in September many years ago and had a few pinks swipe at my streamer. Couldn't get them to connect.

I create the kind of data that onX uses. It's created solely for the county assessor to use (all assessor websites will have a disclaimer you have to click past), it's just available to everyone because it's public information, for better or for worse. It's not close to survey grade for a bunch...

I've heard a lot of talk about fall chinook (in relation to affecting steelhead lies/behavior), coho, and sockeye, but haven't heard people talk about spring chinook on the D much. Hopefully the increase in hatchery fish this year means more wild fish are coming up as well...

Who would that be? I might need a very simple job.

I've always heard around PDX and SW WA the "spring" steelhead were wild fish that were usually on the larger side.

My brother and his friends fish that lake a couple of times a year and they mostly bobber fish the aforementioned flies.

I thought a lot of the cheaper tungsten beads were made from tungsten powder? It's been a few years since I've really been in the euro-nymphing weeds.

I have a couple of friends in the bike industry, and practically everyone is running tubeless, it's basically the default now. The idea is that if it's a tiny/small puncture, the sealant will seal it up by itself. The majority of the non-fishing bike people who ride the Deschutes trail just...

Yeah, the main reason why I got the bridge club is it is made to carry stuff! What tires did you put on it? I'm looking to get a new set to run tubeless. Anyone else have recommendations for 2.4"+ tubeless tires for out on the Deschutes or John Day would be appreciated.

The whole family got Flu A last week, do not recommend. We get the flu shot every year, but supposedly A is the strain that mutates most frequently.

I just got a bridge club a couple months ago, I've got racks for front and back, how do you transport your rods? In the tube? I'm wondering if I can rig some sort of tube off of the fork hardpoints to carry a broken in half rod.

Which model is that? Cool fly, btw!

I've tied and amassed a gross or two of summer steelhead flies (hairwings, muddlers, soft hackles) and I've decided I don't like the "giant hairball in a drawer" method for the flies that haven't made the cut in my working box. Trying to look for a larger box that won't crush hackles and wings...

I know it's not looking good but... Aren't we still doing better than 2015?
