Do they actually fit?

I'm not an expert on entomology, but stoneflies like to live in areas with a lot of current and actually spend a lot of time quite deep in the rocks. When they crawl out close to the surface they are vulnerable to getting washed into the current. This gives the fish an opportunity, and the...

I don't think Elon goes camping much.

I've never fished it, but it looks like stonefly habitat to me(mostly riffle with less pool), and I would start fishing it with a stonefly nymph of some sort, heavily weighted. If you do and you do well, don't talk about it on the internet, please. I rarely see anyone fishing there, best to...

We hear all the time about the increase in wildfire control costs, which are unbudgeted, and the politicals are not keen to get saddled with a tax on their record, so budget cuts, or shifts. Also remember that the Reagan administration nearly doubled the miles of forest roads back then, the...

In southwest Washington I can’t remember ever seeing doves as large as the rock pigeons. The band tailed pigeons were only here in summer to late fall, and gone by now. The native mourning doves are far more common on the east side and smaller. They mostly move south after October but it...

Looks like this could be another climate related cost. https://www.marketplace.org/2024/11/11/why-beef-prices-have-been-rising-this-fall/

If you have a Chef store (used to be cash and carry) near you check them out, and get on the weekly email list. They frequently sell whole boneless rib roast and New York strip roasts for a really good price. Take it home and throw it in the freezer for an hour or so, and then slice it into...

They like sunflower seeds. I could shoot them off my back deck with a slingshot. There's a half dozen regulars at our feeder, not sure how fast more would move in if we harvested these.

That was a good read. Thanks for sharing. Trout looks like it would be no trouble to find a part time dog parent. We used to love it when the kids left their dog with us.

I think of myself as a decent human. Yet I disagree with your opinion. Fisheries are anyones business that need protein in their diet, or even care about another of God's creatures for whatever reason they choose to care about them. Fishing and fishermen are not the center of the universe...

Just because you are not a part of the fishing community does not take away a persons reason to care about fish, or water, or anything else regarding the habitat and resource. If someone is trying to tell me what kind of rod and line to use(fly, tenkara, casting or whatever) , well then they...

Good story. Well worth the time to read. Thanks for sharing it,

I was a rider in a toboggan once, behind a Suzuki 90cc. Much mud and rocks mixed with snow being flung in my direction, I came to my senses and rolled off.

1st grade or as they say in Canada, grade 1. My teacher could barely speak, she was so upset. She sent us home, where the TV was on, and my mom was watching the news unfold. I knew it was bad, but was not all that up to speed on what it all meant at the time.

Nail polish remover is mostly acetone.

Permabond also recommends soaking in warm water to weaken the bond if you're worried about acetone, which would work faster. I believe the water treatment softens the glue, making it easier to scrape off with something.

I have lived in a place that used to have a lot of power outages as the lines were run next to trees. Longest outage we had was probably 12 hours one Christmas. (we had a bunch of snow along with that so freezer had an easy time) Now that they put the lines up our road under ground the outages...

I believe he meant that if a person caught 10 fish on typical gear, but out of ten similar fish on biodegradable gear 5 would be lost to the gear failing. 50% would be too high for me, but I am careful to clean up after myself. I sure find a lot of discarded line along the Cowlitz though. I...
