    Thanks, this is exactly what I was assuming the procedure would be.

    In defense of the fly fishing club

    You lost me at 5:30am. I'm not as 'young' anymore at 44 (had to do the math there) but this is also just not true. Young people spend a ton of time going out and socializing in the real world (IRL as is the fashion) just like they've always done, also just like always I guess we all love to...

    PNW Flood Watch - Dec 8-12, 2025

    Eh, to me the title implies that the army takeover of the dam was necessary to reduce the flood impact, and that without the army takeover it wouldn't have happened. The fact that its normal for this to happen isn't mentioned at all in the article.

    In defense of the fly fishing club

    I'd also agree that this forum acts as a 3rd space, along with some of my other online forums/chats. I'd love for more in person interaction but I find, for myself, that its too easy for things to become 'chores' and then I don't want to do them anymore (this is the problem with anything that...

    The way that article's title is worded sounds like SLP & PSE weren't going to do anything to control the flooding, which I'm positive is not the case. But hey, throwing more sticks on the culture war fire never hurt anything right!

    In defense of the fly fishing club

    Completely agree. If young people aren't joining your club the problem isn't young people, its that your club isn't set up in a way that attracts young people. I always hear that 'young people aren't interested in fly fishing' but I see a ton of young people out on the river fly fishing, which...

    In defense of the fly fishing club

    Agree with a lot of things that people have already said. When I moved up to Whidbey last year I decided that a fly fishing club might be a good way to meet people. Looked into the couple that are near me and quickly came to the conclusion that they weren't going to work. They all had a...

    Looking at Drift Boats

    Thanks, I think being able to put a small electric or gas motor on it would be nice for some of the lakes near me.

    Looking at Drift Boats

    I'm actually on board with the be able to launch it and go yourself, I just think that part of my deciding to go for the drift boat is that I don't actually think I want to deal with that most of the time when I go to the river. For context, I'm on Whidbey, so a boat I can launch and take out on...

    Looking at Drift Boats

    OK, so I've been thinking about my boat needs (wants). I want a sound boat. But thats spendy and I think honestly I need to wait till I have more money saved anyway. I also want a river boat. I was torn between a drift boat, a raft or a jet boat. Recently I've thought more about this, I don't...

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

    The tech bust wasn't a bust in the actual value or use of tech though. The .com bubble of the early 2000s didn't prove that the web wasn't a thing that was here to stay an valuable, just that the stock market had over valued it. For all the jokes, pets.com is literally a thing today, it was...

    Skagit Steelhead CnR 2026

    I went to the TU meeting in Mt Vernon last week. The general consensus after talking with legislators was that there was little to no hope of the funding being put back in for the season to start back up after the Jan 31 river closing. And not a lot of hope of the legislature doing anything...

    PNW Flood Watch - Dec 8-12, 2025

    Looks like the gauge at concrete on the skagit already peaked for today. 'only' 28 feet so not as bad as the first predections. That 40.65 on Thursday morning is looking bad still though.

    NRS Approach 100 Fishing Raft vs Watermaster Kodiak

    Do you sit higher in the NRS? It looks like it but I can't tell. Thats another of my complaints about the WM, can't see shit.

    NRS Approach 100 Fishing Raft vs Watermaster Kodiak

    I'm only 6' and creeping up on 200, the Kodiak is great. For floating rivers I like the hole in the floor, lets me wash my boots off but also helps maneuver when its a little too shallow. Storage is decent behind the seat, it dry enough back there and I've never had any issue losing things, it...

    Annual favorite fish of the year thread.

    First salty bull for sure: There were some nice coho in Neah bay that may be runners up, but this was just a cool first.
