I think the motivation for not naming well know lakes isn't really about being zipper lip. Some of it is having fun with names. When Steve says arid cataract lake or I say tall bird meadow lake in Central Oregon, I'm sure 95 percent of people on here know what lake we are talking about. It's fun...

Maybe think of it as a good deed you are doing for all the boats going halibut fishing that weekend? And hopefully there is a little karma in it for you. Plus you are a better person than me. My wife and daughter are now going out of town that weekend. While I really was looking forward to a...

Somebody buy this. I don't need another 6 wt but this is a good stick.

Love seeing all that water in that lake! And nice job on the ditch pickles!

Got to at least try for muskies. I figure when in Rome and all that....

Interesting. Any chance you might be doing a trip report?

Back in the mid 2000s, four of us went on a 3 day exploratory trip to the central Washington lakes. Second day we split up into groups to try out different hike-in lakes. Met back up that afternoon. Asked the other group how they did - lousy, only one decent fish on the whole day, but it was...

Love it. This is the year I am going to give carp a try.

The places I was able to find morels last year are up in the mountains. Probably be another month or so

Lake Billy Chinook is about 2 hours away, and has boat rentals at Cove Palisades. Probably a little more than what you are looking for though. Spring fishing for bulls in LBC has been on the want-to-do list for awhile.... Central Oregon has a several fun lakes with boat rentals, but more like...

During the first Trump administration I got put on a list. For about a year, every boarding pass had "ssss". Fun times. They'd shut down the security line I was in while I got very thoroughly checked. Got interviewed by the FBI in the Paris airport. Small airports didn't know what to do with me...

I have about 30-40 old issues of Northwest Fly Fishing magazines from the mid 2000's. Free pickup if anyone in the Portland area wants them. I'm in outer-ish SE.

I have a hard time sitting still when fishing. I like to move around and check out different areas of the lake. I'll usually troll for a bit then when I see something interesting that might hold fish, will do some targeted casting and stripping. For me, I have a hard time staring at a bobber...

Two great fish for sure. Tough to pick.

LM might not even make the list for the top four to fish for near Soap Lake.....

I started tying flies to save money about a year ago. So far so good - probably only in the negative about $500 or so. I'm sure I'll be up soon!

Wait, we can put video into posts?????

It's March Madness for fish that are fun to catch on a fly at a destination fishery - each poll is a match up in the tournament bracket. I'm enjoying the polls. It's a slow time of year, fun to day dream about cool fish and cool places to fish for them.
