    SA System 2 7/8wt reel & spools

    The tooth fairy brought me a new 8wt reel, so time to move this on. What this might lack in glamour, it makes up for in utility. It will: 1) store your line, 2) reel your line in, & 3) put the brakes on, big time. Right now it's set up RH, so you normal people will have to reverse the action...

    Simms Pack & Compression Stuff Sacks

    Like the title sez. Some time ago Simms was making packs that would clip together. Like this backpack once had a chest pack (now gone) that it could mate up to. This is still a nice pack with a hydration pocket in the main body, a small outer pouch with separate interior pocket, and places to...

    2026 Swap & Shop Official Thread

    Phil R took Phil K out in his boat for a few hours. We covered a good bit of what is supposed to be the Musky Zone but didn't see a fish. From the little I know, that's about par for the course.

    2026 Swap & Shop Official Thread

    Yeah, that was a good time. I really appreciate the opportunity to get together with forum members in person. Special thanks to Evan for being such a great organizer, and to all the cooks. I do agree that we need to pull more people from the general fishing community in to actually buy some of...

    2026 Swap & Shop Official Thread

    I'll be heading down tomorrow AM. Will have at least one 8wt line spooled up, and a newly built rod (thanks @Wetswinger) to go with it. I'll pack along an inflatable kayak to mess around with, a box of firewood, and something in the food department to share.

    Bike Lock Recommendations

    These are not cheap, but then I'm a real believer in the you get what you pay for principle. https://www.abus.com/usa/Products/Bicycle-locks/Folding-Locks Peyton is correct, but these will deter most garden variety low life slack jawed half wit thieves. I live in the big city and feel safe...

    Springtime in NY

    Earlier this month I spent 12 days in my homeland, New York State. Between visiting friends, a family gathering, and attending an opening at the Corning Museum of Glass there wasn’t much chance to fish, but I did sneak in a few hours in Westchester and Putnam counties on the fringes of NYC’s...

    Workin' Forest

    I think I went with just that pad only once, which was enough. I wanted to save a little weight on our Bath Lakes Traverse trip. My pack was already heavy enough with a two person tent, full 60m single rope, climbing harness, a Nikon with three lenses and a tripod, and a fly rod. Those were the...

    Workin' Forest

    I've never been a big bike collector; they just take up too much space. I may have once had three at home and one at work, but I'm down to two now, a flatbar road/gravel bike and the Yeti. I almost don't need the MTB except for days like this. I have a friend in Edmonds who is divorced, owns a...

    The Mountain Bike Thread

    I posted a pic of this in my latest TR, but why not take another look at this rig. Some years ago I realized I needed a MTB and was checking out what the local stores had to offer in the $1500 ballpark. That buys/bought a pretty decent bike. I was looking at the typical Treks and Specialized...
