North Umpqua river rat here. Nothing but felt with cleats for me. Falling down on land is usually way better than falling in the water. The aforementioned provisos apply: significant snowfall (rare around here) and or long treks (say > 5mi) might require wearing different shoes for the approach.

<Warning, grumpy old man content> He probably would have hit one solo home run last night to tie the game so they could lose in extra-innings. <End Warning> Good solid move; no breathers for pitchers in the top of that lineup. But I sure would like to see the M's get more traffic and raise their...

beg to differ, did you see my post about them being 'be-fuddling'. They just made what appears to be a solid move acquiring Josh Naylor; starting tonight.

I like the Rio Mid Head Spey lines. The head lengths comes in at 52/55' for 7 and 8 weight rods. They cast great on my 7130 and 8130; great taper that covers small delicate presentations and has enough grunt to send a fly tied on a heavy wire platform. I love the running line on them, shoots...

M's continue to befuddle... One way of looking at the last 2 series is they went .500 with 2 of the best/hottest teams in MLB. The other way is to focus on the 2 gaawwdaaawwwfulll losses where they were spanked by their opponents. The brew-crew debacle yesterday was ridiculous. Hitters...

Good M's game last night. Castillo could find his spot in the rotation moved up if he keeps dealing like that.

I buy Eddie Bauer pants from their outlet in Salem. I think they're called Rainiers. I can't find them anywhere online. They're still not cheap by any stretch but they're are lightweight, dry fast and last forever. I think I finally wore a pair out after 8 years.

Thanks @fatbillybob and @O' Clarkii Lewisi I did a bit of both, extended the length of my leader and slowed down my turn to put more line on the water, really made a big difference.

He's puttin' on a show.

My wife does my haircuts, then buys about $100 worth of stuff online. I might be interested in about 30% of what she buys so do the math.. That said me and most of my hair parted ways decades ago. It takes here longer to trim the nose hairs, eyebrows, ear hair and gorilla hair that creeps above...

The blowout scores were awesome. The best part of the series was watching Julio get his groove back. His swing looks awesome and he's having great at bats. I hope he picks up where he left off when the break is over. Also, boooooo to Detroit for walking Raleigh when he had a chance to tie Bonds...

So I've had enough reps with this line and rod to say it's a definite keeper. It actually casts a bit better for me with the int. or s3 than the floater. That's kind of common for me with any multi-to\ip line. I suspect those thinner diameter tips fly a little better than the floater. It's not...

Yankees hit everything in the 8th and 9th innings, 3 different top-tier M's pitchers got clobbered. Apparently Munoz was tipping his slider but he was clearly having location problems too.

I'd like to see Eugenio back too, but suspect it won't happen. Williamson is darn near flawless at the hot corner, but his hitting has been pretty bad. He got a clutch hit in this series, maybe that's the start of something.

Think how all the Bob Smith's in the world must feel.

Cool thread but also this^^^ Reading water is a crucial skill, but it's not the same as 'reading fish'. Someone on this forum had the tag "If it looks fishy fish the <4 letter word for copulation> out of it"

Looking for a good deal on a line in excellent working condition. I prefer to use PayPal and live in Oregon. thanks

I wouldn't underestimate how nice 'waterproofness' is, particularly for a waist pack that's likely to get submerged. But I understand it adds to the price and potential failure points (the zippers in particular). My non waterproof bags are relegated to boat use only. Got tired of driving home...
