I’m shopping new Outcast float tubes - and fumbling around on a Q. Experts pls clarify: The OSG Super Fat Cat - LCS Float tube has a stated weight of 13lb. It is significantly pricier, and ostensibly heavier duty and larger (?) than the Fish Cat 4 Deluxe - LCS float tube, but the Fish Cat 4...

38 pages of good deal boat thread in…this could be one the best deals I’ve seen if you factor in the boat mojo dimension*. That price for a solid cc with trailer and powered by something decent? Screaming deal. Unfortunately I don’t have a place to put it unless I left it in MT at my parent’s...

Could be the only noble death a Ford Pinto ever had.

Those stealth bombers with the blue legs or orange legs are awesome. Is that a pattern you tie? If not and you bought them ….can you DM me the source ?

Lot of small and medium sized takers today. Almost all on buggers, but managed one topwater eat on a green popper

Today was a funky day - I was trying to target bluegill and kept catching SMBs instead. Did find a few little blues though

This is comedy gold. I wish I could like this post more than once

I love sunfish/mola mola! I spent a decent chunk of my time as a kid fishing offshore on my father’s sportfisher. We used to see sunfish pretty frequently off Southern California, Mexico. I would get really excited thinking I had spotted a shark and my dad would glass it and say “sunfish.”...

Hey - you could have mitts like Shaquille O’Neal. That fish might be a slab! Regardless it’s pretty. On top water to boot. Bonus points!

I bough the 7 wt “bass” kit and have had it out a bit. Rod casts fine and the reel is fine as well for my “truck rod extra boat rod” use case expectations. Reserving judgement but so far I am not keen on the line it came with (warmwater quickshooter 7wt). It def seems “kinkier” than the Rio...

Yes! I caught a bunch today as well. A little yellow soft hackle worked. As did a little rust colored leach. The perch were taking turns with the bluegill, seeking out my fly.

Nope. No thank you.

I just returned from Europe last week. For Bulgaria, consider looking up this guy: https://mankovflyfishing.com/ I didn’t watch the YouTube links you provided, but it is possible Stan might be featured in it. He primarily fishes Bulgaria, but gets around the Balkans as a whole as well based on...

I fish solo 90% + these days. 99% of the time I carry only my rapier wit for protection. Once in a while when I’m fishing in grizzly bear country I carry bear spray. I mean if I’m going to get mauled I owe it to the bear to spice it up a little, right?

That electric outboard looks pretty cool

When in Portland, Kann is an excellent date-night option. https://kannrestaurant.com/ Reservations required though they do have a bar that might support walk-ins. Firehouse as mentioned by @clarkman used to be another good choice though I haven’t been there in years. I think my brother’s...

My grandmother, mother, and aunts all fly fished well into their senior years. Some - Aunt V in particular - were excellent fly tiers to boot. One of my aunts gifted me her trusty Winston 6 wt. After a bad ankle fracture ended her wading days, another aunt (Aunt S) deemed herself a “float...

Your mileage may vary, but I would personally steer clear from deducing from the data being shown that manmade climate change was far worse in the 19th and early 20th century. CO2 is release into the atmosphere through both human activities and natural processes. 90% or so of global CO2...

Last year’s “big bill” - with Senator Mike Lee’s enthusiastic support - had a number of sections designed to maximize resource extraction. Putting aside the cornucopia of mining and oil extraction sections, there were also a number of logging-friendly sections. Just one example of a section...

So stoked! I plan to learn how to jig steamers with a mono rig. I descended deep into a fly box reorg effort last month that I think sets me up better. Also considering a new float tube - do not have one at present. I even bought myself a new surfboard & fly rod carrier (aka car). Full time...
