    Non-Fly trout?

    Charles Helin, inventor of Flatfish, said that it was impossible to retrieve a Flatfish too slowly. In my youth I had great success with the F4 in light grey with black spots, and the F7 in brownish orange color. I also liked red and white #1 and 2 Mepps spinners,small all-black Panther...

    Yellowjacket equinox

    For creepycrawlies I use Home Defense spray with pretty satisfactory results for eliminating ants and spiders. I spray both the inside and outside of my stemwalls. For in-ground vespid nests I stuff a road flare in the hole after dark and stand by with a hose in case something else ignites...

    This is a seed head on a northwest native “weed,” Geum macrophyllum, aka Large-leaf aven. (I never heard of it either, until I keyed it out.). Think of a 15-inch tall buttercup. This seed head is about the size of a pea. This is the plant.
