I’m curious to know how great the spike in orders is/was over normal. I’m in for 3 orders already. So far I’ve been able to beat my wife to the mailbox so I’m in the clear. 😎 Good luck Spawn and thanks for doing what you do!

My Yankee hatred is sated. I’ll push it deep down inside me where it will lie dormant waiting to rise anew in March like a phoenix. Congrats L.A. it would’ve been sweet to clinch it at home, but dancing on a rival’s turf is almost as good.

Relax, it's all in jest. Don't you bust balls over football? Besides, it's not like Yankee fans are still interfering with games. Oh wait.. I don't care who wins, just anyone but the Yankees!

1996 ALCS Orioles vs Yankees game 1 I think it was. Umps give the Yanks a HR on fan interference, should've been a double the ball would not have cleared the fence. Screwed the pooch for us after that. Never forgive, never forget. Death to the Yankees!

Good topic. I use a vertical water smoker. Coals in the bottom, water reservoir above that, and 2 racks above that. It works fine for most things, but dialing in your temps comes with hard earned experience and is still subject to outside variables. I keep dropping hints so I’m hoping an upgrade...

Lots of crawdads in RSL too, if you’re wondering what the fish might be eating.

What ratio hiking vs wading are you looking at? If you feel your day is majority hiking supplemented with some wading you may want a beefier lug on the sole. I can see those soles potentially getting chewed up when subjected to serious hiking. Smooth river rocks are one thing, trail conditions...

Sad to see the Orioles caught up in that mess. Luckily they’re only on the hook til 2028. On the plus side the Os are in town tomorrow to do some ass kicking. Go Orioles!

Cascade Lake has a LMB problem now. Rent a boat and do some thinning. Mountain Lake is nice as well, cutts galore. There’s a primitive boat ramp for launching and possibly canoe rentals. When I was there (Mntn Lake) last I saw a sign for rentals but no actual boats, you may wish to confirm. Both...

Aint no country like the high country. +1 for the Garmin InReach. If the fish are rising and you’re going to extend your stay ping your wife so she doesn’t think you’ve been mauled by a bear and call the sheriff when you’re late. Hiking/backpacking always go hand in hand with fishing. Why...

This one was on the calendar months in advance. We waited, we tied, we researched, we tied some more, we fretted over the weather, but finally the day came and we hit the trail! The climb was rough at times. The trail passes through old burns and shade is hard to come by. Skeeters here are...

North side of Orcas Island. It started around 10:30, 15 min later it was going off.

Pucci on the north end of Orcas Island.

Here’s a good resource to nerd out on, might narrow your search. Good luck, but be wary, gold fever is not to be trifled with 😉 https://flyfishingthesierra.com/eastsierra5.htm

@Squatchin landed the only brown of the trip. I believe that’s back to back years for him? He has the touch it seems.

It has become a yearly tradition and it rarely disappoints. We had a little of everything this year - snakes, rain, sun, moon and stars, wildflowers, and lots of wily tenacious ’bows. We took the low road in opting for more strolling and slow rolling than scrambling down the high road. Once a...

If you were fishing a North Bend-area lake recently, likely yesterday, and lost a stripping apron drop me a line and we’ll get it back to you. RSVP with details, including approximate number and size fish you landed 😉

Craft fur minnow strikes again. It was pretty much “last cast” before calling it a day when I got a serious yank. Eventually this gnarly cutt yielded to the net. It looked like it had survived a recent eagle strike.

Well shit, I’d say you better learn to enjoy your time share then, but we’re talking Florida here 😬 Good luck

Have you considered faking your own death? This would open up endless possibilities including an end to your time share problem.
