Nothing funny about this. How in the hell can anyone expect us to believe that he was mistaken for a squirrel. At least 200 times larger than the biggest squirrel I'ver ever seen.

Funny, that never even occurred to me. It is pretty sad though.

I have ordered two rods from them, and like I said the first came rather quickly, the second took about eight months. I sent a couple emails asking if there was any news, the replies came slowly, like two to three weeks after my inquiry. When you order one you can create an account, and there...

The verpa toxin can be removed by boiling the mushrooms for 15 minutes, with ventilation as the toxin comes out as fumes and is still toxic. After the boil they should be fine for everyone, but as always with wild shrooms, try a bite first and see how you do.

This guy?

I bought four de buyer steel pans a while back, and my take on them is that they take longer to season, and you have to be much more persnickety about anything with acid in it or you will take your seasoning off. Now that I have learned how they need to be treated though, I will have them for...

Something to think about when traveling to Canada is that if you are hurt and want to medivac to the US where your insurance works, you will need to have a passport. No passport, no international flight to the US. When we go up there to ski we always take a passport for that reason. We both...

Les died, soon after his wife Dot died. The kids took over, destroyed their reputation for taking care of customers, and sold the business. They are still the most expensive place to buy tires with none of the former reasons to feel good about paying a premium price. I used to be a loyal...

If she can cast fairly reliably, a spinner works great. My experience with a complete newb swinging treble hooks around wildly still gives me the willies. Nymphing under a bobber seems doable. A small lead head jig under a bobber should work too.

Garbage service should be paid for by taxes so that everyone has it no ifs ands or buts. it costs way more to deal with the illegal dumping than if it happened the right way in the first place. The only people who would be paying more are the dumpers.

I'm not a dyed in the wool Orvis customer either, but last time I was in an Orvis shop it was in Tualatin, and they were going out of business. I looked around and what they did have was nice quality outdoorsy clothing, some gear, and if you needed some leaders or fly dressing, nippers etc...

Support your local shops. Whatever their specialty, when they're gone they're gone. Online convenience has it's cost.

Pepperoni is always tender.

Looks like a fly line on a spincast reel to me. I wouldn't think that would work well. The rod looks pretty short for two handing like he's doing. The right equipment for lobbing a treble wrapped with pencil lead perhaps?

Finding a way to squeeze in some more advertising?

The way I use them, I do it at home with a good light. And yes you can see the wire better than tippet.

A good friend told me to get a box with these before a trip to Chopaka. There was a caddis hatch right at dark that felt like you were sitting in a piranha infested lake for a bit. The problem being it was getting dim enough you couldn't thread the eye of your hook. Once threaded the knot...

One of my favorite fishing buddies, now departed, (and RIP Terry). used to select reels for the sound they make. One of my favorite things to hear was his chuckle as he hooked a fish, and then hopefully the reel singing its lovely tune. He didn't make a big deal of it but you could share his...

I tried those M7s last year. They were SWEET. Pretty much a do all ski.

My wife and I went stealth camping kinda late one evening in the Oregon coast range one night. Got some hammocks slung in the trees after dark. Later we thought we were under attack. There was a family of them not 50' from where we set up, unbeknownst to us. They calmed down after a while...
