    Why in the world does WA still have paper-only fishing licenses?

    Then there are old guys like me who still like their paper licenses - just finished a twelve day trip without a phone, I don't carry one anywhere. Grew up in a more self-reliant time when everyday living didn't require a tether to the world. 🤔

    Music on the water

    I haven't read all four pages of responses, so for what it's worth. In my float tubes and boat I have either a horn or whistle to signal distress or gain the attention of a craft arrantly of course. Anything that would cancel out my ability to detect another vessel (even at great distance)...

    NFR *%!@ing moles!

    With Moles I've had success with this style of trap. Mine came from the late great OSH but I see the Wallyword and Amazonia carry them now. They are wicked to set, but effective. Wear a latex or similar glove to mask your odor, those little suckers navigate with their nostrils.

    NFR Let's talk about generators

    Wondering if anyone here has run into HOA's or municipalities that prohibit them, unless one can provide proof from a physician of continuous medical need? Or the decibel (dB) levels a generator, if approved, must meet?

    Since your study won't allow me to opt out in certain areas, I decline to finish.

    NFR Truck tires?

    I run the same Firestone Destination series of tires on my Wrangler as Tim L does on his Xterra, though mine are the Firestone Destination A/T 2. Because of where I live and what I drive on often, stone rejectors play a role in tire life longevity. What I've found with these tires is improved on...

    Sage is no longer on my radar

    I would agree with the statement that Sage is no longer on my radar. My oldest Sage rod is a G I from the eighties. I look at this way, Steve Rajeff is a masterful rod designer, but I always felt that it was Gary Loomis that kept Loomis' final runs grounded. So too I felt that when the old...

    Lake Fishing Etiquette or Lack Thereof

    Be super friendly, chat them up non-stop, talk about every twitch and grab, the moon phases, how your red rib is better than a copper rib, talk about your boats chines, the shape of your anchor, how you had to change out the brushes on your trolling motor, the color of the underside of the bill...

    Non-Fly Switching treble to single hook on small kastmaster

    This section is one of the things I find most refreshing about this website. ;) If I was so inclined and not nearly so lazy, I could put together a conversion chart of Siwash hooks for KM's, Rapala F's. SR's and S, Roostertail's, Mepps, etc. which makes me sound like a real dirt bag gear guy (a...

    Intermediate Line

    Yes it is. I read that earlier today and thought it was worth saving for those who may ask in the future. I've taken some heat over the years for carrying and using them in some saltwater situations, often thought to be the domain of floating lines. Regionality and custom are hard nuts to...
