    Fish Camp

    A late addition to my Fish Camp post: brother in law Jack aka "walking salmon banana" was in town from Colorado to try to break his salmon-less streak. He lives on the Roaring Fork in Glenwood Springs and he's a very good fly fisherman. We've tried a half dozen times to get him a tidewater...

    Backyard Wildlife

    I snapped this photo of the neighborhood stud muffin in the next door neighbor's driveway. He's truly a magnificent coastal blacktail buck.

    Northern Estuaries on The Island

    Just outstanding and echo Buzzy's comment about being fun to read. It dawned on me that your writing style seems familiar - were you previously on WFF under a different user name?

    UNOFFICIAL NHL 26-27 Season Chat

    The lower body injury to Macklin Celebrini is not good news for the Sharks. Sounds like he may be out for at least two weeks - we'll see how the team responds.

    UNOFFICIAL NHL 26-27 Season Chat

    Sharks fan here. I grew up in the South Bay Area. When I was a kid, my dad would take all of us to the Cow Palace to watch the San Francisco Seals play. Eventually the team moved across the bay when they built the Oakland Coliseum and became the California Golden Seals of the NHL. I remember...

    He still has that yellow Clack - he doesn't fish out of it much any more unless son John or a buddy is with him.

    Fish Camp

    The fun part is that you never ever stop learning. When I first came to this Board, I was looking for info on how to catch sea run cutthroat in Southern Oregon and Northern California. Brian (Stonedfish) and many others reached out to me and were incredible with flattening the learning curve...

    Fish Camp

    A combination of all of those except maybe the last one :LOL:. First thing I learned when I started doing this is that it's most importante to figure out where the fish are. For coho, they seem to usually be in the upper part of the water column. Think floating and hover lines with long...

    I forgot to add that we hooked all of our fish on the micro clousers - tied on size 8 Ahrex SA 280 hooks.

    Best Low Budget Fly Rods And Reels???

    Maybe reach out to Nick Moses who now owns R. B. Meiser? I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he had something affordable he could offer to replace your switch rod. I think it's worth a shot - Nick is an incredible young man.

    Official 2026 MLB Discussion Thread

    I happened to personally witness Houston clinching the division on Sunday while supporting what's left of my precious Oakland/Sacramento/Las Vegas A's. I've been a fan since the team came to Oakland from Kansas City in 1968. My dad started taking us to the Coliseum (except when the Cubbies...

    Fish Camp

    Fish Camp is how our place on the Oregon Coast is described by friends and family as they converge to partake in the fall salmon season. Having three salmon producing estuaries within 30 minutes drive is a true luxury. Dan and I worked together with CA DFW for much of our careers. Dan was the...
