Nothing says 4th of July like getting the kayak out and spending some time sight casting to little bluegill with a fiberglass 3wt. Unless of course it is doing that, then when you get back to your takeout spot finding some shade and schracking into a cold frosty beverage of some kind. Topwater...

Not sure if this belongs in the touron thread, or the backyard wildlife thread, but as I was sipping my coffee and glancing out of our kitchen window this a.m., I saw a coyote (nice, healthy looking adult) step out of a stand of trees at the edge of the property adjacent to ours. The coyote made...

Ok small and bad photography but … some of the bluegill from this morning.

Funny how often “less is more” ends up being the call on flies. Sparse patterns work! Also I think Otter is right - looks like a copper wire wrap/rib. It looks fishy

@mcswny your post has me neck deep down memory lane. I lived and worked in Japan for a number of years - suffice to say it was an amazing experience. There are things to love about every region IMO, and a bunch of folks on thread have already provided some nuggets. A PSA for somewhere a bit...

Consider Cascade Lake in Moran State Park (on Orcas Island). Nice campground(s), really pretty lake with piles of fish. My daughter and I kayaked and SUPed in it last year. Added bonus - Orcas has some little towns with food, some shopping etc in case that is of interest to the family….

What kind of patterns can we chuck that will roughly approximate a crank bait the gear fishing folks use? Asking for a friend……having thrown everything in box at bass in certain situations and struggled to get interest when the gear+crank bait still seems to work…

Always feels a bit weird to “like” a post in which someone has some misfortune. That said, in this case it sounds as if you came out only slightly wet and worse for wear so 👍

I have recently put Yokohama Geolandars on my Tacoma TRD Off-road. So far so good

In honor of the arrival of fall last week, I managed to make my way out for a bit. I rarely take photos of fish and when I do I do it poorly. Couple of the fish were so pretty that I believe they transcended my incompetence. I love fall! Ok I cheated on one - one pic is a Calder from the...

I’m sorry but I couldn’t finish that article, as I was busy manifesting good science by tanning my testicles to max out my T levels. It would be nuts to complicate this simply brilliant junk-bronzing approach. Chestnuts roasting, on an open fire….. Science aside though, we recently had a bat...

I just spent a few days on a Cascade Lake/Moran family camping trip - returned from Orcas yesterday. So many LMBs (predominantly very small) that is quickly got to a point where it was just silly. Unfortunately it seems bass have taken over the lake over the past X years. They plant trout...

Ah yes the whitefish..aka…. Billy Blanco…..the trumpet-nosed trout…….they don’t get much respect but they are native to many drainages in the West/NW

Any older ~1990s Outrages for sale somewhere?…

I’m glad you are using and enjoying it @Buzzy !

Find the Scott Sector 8’4” 8 wt and cast it. Might be worth a look. I have not cast that model, but holy moly the 9’7 wt, the 9’8 and the 9’9 are really nice. Outside of that if you want to consider used rods, (mine is def not for sale but if you can find one) I have a 7’11” Sage Bass II...

@clarkman for your Rx, are you doing the bifocal style sunglasses or the progressive style? About a year ago I suddenly found myself needing reading glasses (thanks pandemic for leaving me in my basement work office staring at monitors all day every day for a few years). I currently don’t have...

Hi @Rob Allen thanks for sharing your .02; If you don’t mind, I want to better understand your perspective. You indicated that it is none of your business if your neighbor were to do something on or to their property that had a negative impact on yours. Most folks with libertarian leanings...

We got these BIG jellyfish comin in

Will send a pm.
