Last time was awesome...

Yes! The LP Lite ones are true spring pawls, whereas the LPs are a disc drag with a clicker noise maker. Both great reels but the Lite is probably what you’re after.

I didn't catch a lot this year, a few on the yak and a few in MT. I think I've even been skunked on anadromous fish this year (so far). But I had a good week in Winthrop thanks to some guidance and intel from one of our still water masters @Starman77 . I was able to get a few on Rex's water...

Very Cool @SculpinSwinger !

Long ago I bought the CD soundtrack to The Good The Bad and the Ugly movie and kept in the the car for road trips. A few times when going to fish the Grand Ronde I would cue up this track once I got about half way down the Hwy 123 Rattlesnake grade. It was perfect for scenery and the building...

Nice.

Someone showed me that trick at Chico many years ago and it does work! I related it in a thread last year here and everyone said I was crazy and that the fish would bite the rod tip off. But that’s never happened.

I didn’t know they had! Where is it?

I've come full circle and am now back to using a float tube for lake fishing, for all the same reasons. I upgraded from a float tube to a really nice Outcast Pac800 pontoon, which I loved, but couldn't get used to propelling it with fins and using the oars occupied my hands such that I missed a...

Is that a Doc Spratley variation? Looks like it would slay on Opening Day stockers!

Wow @Zak I really like this one. Can you share the recipe?

For knife-making and other DIY projects, I've bought a lot of steel from Online Metals: https://www.onlinemetals.com/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=6502026653&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhIzn_afWkAMVxR-tBh3SYwLcEAAYASAAEgIPGPD_BwE You can sort by size, shape, alloy etc... they usually have what I need...

Sorry to hear that Steve. Hope things go as well as they possibly can from here forward.

Nice job! That is a heck of a blacktail!

Loving that last one!

Congrats man, nice work!
