    Float Tube Booties

    If there are, they've remained a mystery to me. I've had James Scott, Streamline, Patagucci, Simms, Cabela's and a few others over the decades that don't come to mind and like you my feet are not the same as they were at the beginning of the game. They've grown longer and wider over the...

    Another fly fishing site sold out.....

    I'm feeling a lot of love in the room tonight. :cool: It would be interesting to know how many ' Outsiders " like me who are registered here, are also long-time members of NAFFF, WA, etc. I recognize some here and know there must be more that are using a different handle on each site. It might...

    2022 Garden Thread

    Thank you all for fruit tree additions. Our stone fruit bare root stock were chosen for their low chilling hours, self fruitfulness, ease to maintain them at 8' to 12' in height and with the exception of the Halford ( a late season canning cling ), their early ripening. We see about 90 days a...

    2022 Garden Thread

    We lived for a while right across the river from you, in Yuba City in the new tracts built along the old garden highway just about where shanghai bend ( falls ) is - interesting chute to run a drift boat through ( take out at Boyds pump ) when the stripers & shad make their way up. The shad...

    2022 Garden Thread

    This is a great thread, but when I think of the pacific northwest, I think of all the great local fruit I ate in my youth. Just wondering about your fruit & nut trees. What do you grow and what are your local commercial harvests? Here our local commercial crops are several varieties of citrus...

    Bucks Bag parts and accessories

    I don't know if he's still with Buck's, but the guy to ask is Dave Klein at (208) 344-4400. He ( is or was ) their tube & toon guru. If you ever ran into Buck's at f.f. shows, Dave was the head honcho in the booth.

    The Mountain Bike Thread

    I recently moved to a 29 HT and haven't any new shots to share. Here are a few shots of my 26 hardtail that I donated to a local cycling co-op that tunes them up and finds them new homes. I used to ride in the Mojave several days a week. Often when we think of deserts, we think of sand and...

    Tips on buying a used drift boat

    My advice, don't believe a thing anyone tells you over the phone or in an ad. Make them show you the paperwork first and make them show you their I.D. If any of its missing or their I.D. doesn't match the paperwork, walk! Regardless of how righteous or nice the seller seems in your...

    Fishing vacations that also offer family time...

    [/USER] I'd rent both a houseboat and a tow along 14-foot outboard aluminum boat on one of the large western lakes. Warm to hot, swimming, sunbathing, just hanging out, cove camping, day hikes, sights seeing and photography at water level, fly or conventional fishing for Stripers, Black Bass...

    NFR How's the housing market where you live?

    Here in Kern County, CA our median home price is around 365K and that's with the 19% yoy increase ( about 40% in the last two years. ). Most newly built homes or those under construction ( 3/2 or 4/2.5 ) in recently created communities out of town in former ranch lands list in the high 300's to...

    Let's see your flotilla😀

    Q: Why do two people need six float tubes? A: Company! The Hyde just came along for the ride. It gets used as a swimming platform almost as much as a fishchine (def: fish machine ).
