Kfish is 100% solid; this setup is sure to be done right. Such a deal!

Go three-peat?

Just another data point: A few years ago I drove off with a Galvin T6 on the roof of my car, and luckily saw it bounce down the road into the bushes behind me. It survived with a few extra scrapes and a bent foot plate. I contacted Galvin and they sent me a free replacement right away. Come to...

On Monday I hiked in past a very popular I-90 lake to its upper companion. I took the older, steeper, now abandoned trail. Down in the woods, morning clouds were breaking up and gifted me this fine sight. I had rather low expectations for the upper lake, which were met. There were smaller...

Everything I've heard about the Enchantments lately makes me never want to go back.

I found this on my latest hike. Sure it looks a bit manky and stained, but I washed it, so it’s actually “clean.” The flag logo is attached with Velcro, so I suppose you could customize it. The real beauty is in the fabric content which both defies mathematical possibility, and gives you the...

I occasionally cross paths with people playing their (Bad) music on the trail, and usually make a negative comment.

I actually tired going in in here the first year I was in Seattle; mid 80s. A friend who I thought knew what he was doing planned the route, going up the W Fork and out this E Fork trail. We went with three other people who were OK trail hikers, but completely out of their element off trail. The...

I was last up this way 21 years ago... it seemed much easier then. That was before it became Instagram famous and we saw one other person the whole trip. Ah, the good ol' days. We got a late start and hiked the first section in the afternoon. You gain about 1200' to net 600' over 4.5 miles. We...

... Which doesn't tell me squat.

I'm trying to figure out how this SUP fishing thing works. -Not that I'm in the market, but curious. The way I see it you'd be standing up and so pushed whichever way the wind chooses, unless you're actively paddling. Doing that requires two hands on the paddle. How does that work with fishing...

Nice report so far. You should wipe the schmutz off your phone camera lens.

I saw the black plastic bag system in use too.

I was out on a bike ride today and stopped at the Duwamish low bridge to take in the carnage and mayhem. Do people not realize that you can bonk a fish just by smacking them in the head? There's no need to slam the entire salmon onto the concrete. Repeatedly.

Thanks for the invite @Matt B! That was a fun morning.

I see Kain's got a foregrip on his fly rod for reefing in the big ones.

About 4-5 that I can recall. Two fly rods when I was a clumsy kid; standard car/garage door stuff. One that must have been a defective blank because it just went BINK while casting shortly after I got it. A nice Diamondback 6 wt that I decapitated with a cone head bugger while fishing with the...

I recall Adam saying they charge $0.50 per pound. [EDIT] He reports paying $140 including tip for 45# processed including cutting out the bloodline. Half that if they don't trim out the bllodline.

... Back to the fun part; catching. These are the two flies I used. The black and purple one is Nick's and caught all but my last fish. He mentions above that these have a good strong profile in the water, and you can see that this would. I remember admiring the flies @adamcu280 was using...
