I seem to be heading towards the small fishpond one. I'm surprised that no one on this board has found a more "direct manufacturer from China/SE Asia" analog. I'm going to try and find one.

I like to go minimal when I hit up local waters, but a few spots require a walk in. I can usually go pretty minimal, just having a tip wallet, tippet, and a box of flies in my waders, but I always wish I had a water bottle and another box of flies or a jacket stuffed in there since I can be...

I bet they used those hooks because they were just looking for a bigger canvas to work with. A 3x or longer streamer hook is not optimal for hooking and keeping a fish hooked, but I bet it wasn't a problem when double digit days for salmon or big trout was not uncommon.

A few of the bougie grocery stores like whole foods and trader Joe's were selling frozen arctic char for a while. It was really good.

They are awful compared to a good pair of breathables, but I still have nostalgia for them.

People like the SA tips. Does cortland make two-hand lines? It doesn't look like it.

It's already been mentioned, but around Lake Superior is way off the radar for most people. The PNW is the place to be, but if I had to move somewhere else, Superior area would be my choice. Duluth is your larger (but still not big) city, and small towns up the Minnesota coast. You just gotta...

I saw a couple yesterday on the D. I think temps have been a bit warmer than average, so maybe that's why they are still around.

They have always had excellent customer service and know their stuff. I also don't really buy from them anymore mostly because orvis is the furthest away fly shop in PDX (and they stopped sending me those discount cards), but my formative years were outfitted with Orvis stuff in the 90's and...

I fished this pretty frequently the last few years. Unfortunately missed the "good 'ole days". Mike told me that there was some pond that they raised some of the cutts, and those pond fish came back pretty big. I swing all kinds of flies for them, but my favorite is a smaller october caddis...

The glory days of STP. Pick up a heavily discounted Bauer reel, and get another 10-20% off coupon on top of that.

Earlier this year, I bought a Bauer CFX drag reel on an online marketplace and when I got it, it appeared to have been marinated in glacial silt for a while. The clutch cover wouldn't budge, and the clutch itself would slip. I sent it to Bauer/Winston in Montana, and got a call from the person...

Turtlebox® "Because other people aren't annoying enough..." On second thought, maybe I will get several of these and whenever I hear another bluetooth speaker, I'll just turn them all on and blast some grindcore.

I'm willing to concede that the increased flow at the top of LBC is good for salmon smolts. That makes sense. I'm just tired of the tower proponents acting like it brings the river almost back to it's natural state. The Deschutes and the Crooked get backed up behind reservoirs, drawn for...

For trout fishing, I've always carried one rod. Dries upstream and streamers/nymphs working your way back down. Unless I'm on someting like the Deschutes, where the car is very close by, I'll leave another rod or two in the car.

I don't actually own one (I have a Contact 2), but Joe is THE euro rod designer, and the Gen 4 is his latest offering (he also designed the Ideal, T&T Contact 2, and the Cortland Comp rod). Tacticalflyfisher would also be a great resource, send them an e-mail with what your fishing situation...

But the Metolius is SUPPOSED to be hard!

I wasn't talking about your GPS location accuracy, I was talking about the accuracy of the parcel data itself. OnX pulls all that property data from county assessor sites, or they pay a company who collects the same data and sells it to them. That data's accuracy varies and is not survey...

Useful for sure, but good to keep in mind there is likely a decent margin of error from what you see on the map and where it is actually on the ground.

Not as feature rich, but you can add points with notes to google maps, and save an area for offline use. Not as good as OnX, but it's free. I think the joke has been made here, but I am sure there are programmers at OnX who know everyone's primo fishing/hunting spots.
