    What would you like to see restored before you die?

    1) Public access. 2) The restoration of forest service and state parks employees running all facets of their respective areas, campgrounds, day use areas, launches, rather than the privatization of those services and areas. 3) Camping in America as it was prior to the 90's. 4) To a time when...

    Indicator fishing / Stillwater

    For me it's all about the grab, so the slowest movers I would typically fish and enjoy would be a damsel nymph, but most of the time it's something more along the lines of leach, bugger, baitfish. But there's no denying that indi-fishing can be the ticket.

    Taking Strangers Fishing, Yay or Nay?

    Complete stranger: Nay. Other than back in my guiding days. In my shop/host days I fished with some great people and a few that I wouldn't walk around the block with for the sake of business. I've fished with a few guys that I met through different FF bulletin boards, most were great, some...

    Have you seen or own these new waders?

    I'm suddenly reminded of the inflatable wader scene from the 1964 classic, "Man's Favorite Sport?" Starring Rock Hudson and Paula Prentiss.

    What have you done for your boat lately?

    Ordered the new Hyde last October for a March '26 build, picked her up last week. Here it is on the homeward bound leg of the trip just south of Idaho Falls, ID - just a short 1,100 mile run home.

    How have you adapted to fishing with Age and Medical Challenges?

    I'll start off with this, maybe fifteen years ago my wife and I were exiting a midsized Sierra Lake in northern California when we came across two light pick-up trucks parked next to each other in opposing directions, both with twelve to fourteen aluminum v-hulls in tow. Leaning on the outer...

    Temporary river fishing

    "Trout don’t live in ugly places.” Maybe not, but as many of us know, some Trout do visit ugly places seasonally.

    What have you done for your boat lately?

    Q: What have you done for your boat lately? A: Found them new homes - still have five float tubes that'll need to go at some point. Next, we took a fourteen-hour drive to Idaho Falls and placed an order for a snazzy new drift boat slated for a March build, then fished our way home. Currently...

    car toppable or inflatable dog-friendly small watercraft advice sought

    Let me qualify my idea, I'm in California and I probably couldn't find Whidby on map, let alone what services might be available there, but I am familiar with not wanting to tow our boats further than necessary. So here it is, have you looked into self-storage lots or indoor boat storage in...

    Hilariously overpriced used item listings around the internet

    Hands down, I've got to agree it's the used boat market and it's been that way for as long as I can remember. I sometimes wonder just how upside down these boaters are in their loans. Or if they really think that their choice of aftermarket accessories carries any value to a prospective buyer...

    Sage XP 590 vs All

    I have a Sage 590/4 XP, it's a very nice versitile rod that at one time was my favortie. It can do the jobs that you'd expect a rod of its stature in the Sage line up of its day (in this weight and length configuration) to do, with ease. Mine probably hasn't seen the light of day for ten or more...

    NFR $$ Haircuts $$

    Add me to the list of guys who've had their wives cut their hair since covid. Since she's only got the one customer; she's perfected my cut to the point where I doubt I'd have anyone else do it. We live out of town, so pre-covid I was going to a small shop with three chairs within the lodge of a...

    SFR Major Rant STOP IT! It stops NOW!

    Mods on offroad vehicles don't bother me, but who started the whole duck thing? I went into town last week to get some groceries, when I come out my Wranglers been ducked again, this time the duck included a "you've been ducked" greeting card, the duckers name and an invitation to register the...
