Damn, Fly Fisher Lacey was my shop too. :cry: I enjoyed every interaction with Bjorn and bought my last Echo from him. He did alot of custom fly tying for fishing all over the planet and I hope that he maintains that as his gig. Will miss the shop and him. I maintain that Bjorn Beech is...

Anyone have experience with Anova vac sealers? These look like a good alternative to F Savers. I was going thru a food sealer brand unit per year ish and got tired of throwing them out and replacing them. Much smaller counter top unit, not in the chamber vac realm...

And a better workout on the haul out! ;)

I'm in. Thanks Paul and happy holidays!

Nice work @Billy. Just curious about how many pounds of meat do you get off of a doe?

Pretty decent deals on Jackery portable power stations and solar. Good reputation for their stuff per @iveofione and some of the larger units are 50% off. Good time to buy if you've been eyeing these like I have! 🤑 https://www.jackery.com/pages/black-friday

Hey Shawn - Happy Thanksgiving and best to you, your family and lovely wife. Lunching w @Scott Salzer and a Kraken win! What a pre Turkey day! Can the sweater logo be identified as Kraken or does the beard hide it? ;)

@Starman77 - ok you inspired me to go foraging at my local co-op! It is sorta cheating but I had to try them and they have lovely fresh matsus for $18/#. A deal in my book to try them. I sliced some larger matus and seared in butter and canola, w just a bit of garlic. I salted after each...

I guess that I should start a Les thread but I will add this here. I was fortunate to get to know Les from the Swallows Nest in Seattle back in the 90s. We hit it off and fished together some. He took me to Lenice and the pot holes just to poke around. I commented that it was a long way to...

Well done Shawn and Laura!!! (y)

We stop watering our tomatoes at the end of July or so. It takes discipline because at this time of year, I think summer will last forever. This lets them know to step up the fruit ripening. I trim any blossoms at this time too. Then in about 3 weeks will get LOTS of ripe tomatoes and the...

Nice Haul!! What is the varietal? I am about to harvest mine in week or so.

Terrific report! Lovely young lady, and special day! Good on ya!

That was an amazing series of pics. Amazing but a bit hard to watch - like a hot dog eating contest! :)

Hey Mark - a close smaller option would be the lil Deschutes in Olympia. If we get a few days without rain, it might be in ok shape. I have not fished it in the Spring but perhaps other forum members have and can chime in. Or call the Fly Fisher in Lacey and Bjorn probably knows. I have...

Are most of you using the transducer that is included with the striker? How are you connecting the transducer to a pontoon boat?

Nope, I was not in the other driftboat. In fact, I stropped and chatted with @Billy and @troutpocket but did not realize that I was chatting with forum friends. Billy was completely out of context in the drift boat, and I did not recognize him without his tube! Wish I had made the connection...

I was on the same water with @Billy and @troutpocket on Friday. Same fishy story for me. Very slow on deep searching with streamers. Next day I put it to them with the chironomid rig. I was fishing my new Echo Lago 10 foot and it is a total game changer for casting all of the leader for...

@Tombraider - Did not know this was an option. Thanks!!

Just got a new Echo Lago 10 foot 5 wt rod and am super excited to take it on a lake trip. I have heard that landing fish with a long rod can cause stress at the tip section and can break a rod I am fishing from a pontoon. Is this a real concern or common occurrence or something that I should...
