    Question for the Forum

    Hi Bob, I think they are legit, no prob. On a side note, I am having a chronic low-grade irritation with my Dierks anchor rope jam cleat. Slips too often. It almost seems like the ridges need to be sharper? Fish long, WR

    LiFePO4 Batteries

    I wanna join the fun. I'd love to replace my trolling motor battery with a 100ah. Would that battery also work well in my small travel trailer? I have a blue top battery in there now and it last about 2 days (or so). Fridge, stove, heater, water heater are propane but lights and all the...

    What's Catching You Fish?

    Oh yeah... it's skwala crawlah time! My itty bitty cdc bwo pattern on 6x tippett got all tangled and snarled due to operator error, so I had to clip-out. Decided I owed it to myself to try my skwala chubby. No big fish but they were ready to get stoned! Such a joy to fish 3x :cool:

    🧐 Why would anyone ever wash a boat? You could be watching curling instead

    Split shot placement

    Maybe consider putting the shot below the bottom fly. IMHO, this way your leader/tippet is straight to the indo and will transfer bites quicker. Hope this helps

    What's Catching You Fish?

    I needed a tool fly to get my small nymphs down, so I picked out a size 12 olive Possybugger. Of course, the fish were all over this thing! After multiple releases the poor fly began to fall apart. First the whip finish began to unravel, then the wire wraps broke and the body flash started...

    What was your moment that inspired your transition to flyfishing?

    In my 20's I lived in Seattle and was in to gear fishing for winter steelhead but commonly found the rivers blown out or got skunked. A buddy invited me to go to the Yak and try nymphing... Got a few fish on a GRHE and the journey had begun. For some reason I never use that pattern anymore...doh!

    The Mountain Whitefish, aka Short Fin Grayling thread

    Hiya Pigs He keeps it pretty simple... Fillet, then brine in a light solution with 1/2 white 1/2 brown sugar plus salt. Not much other spices or seasoning Alder smoke overnight or 8-10 hours He makes some great spreads and dips out of it. Enjoy!

    The Mountain Whitefish, aka Short Fin Grayling thread

    Well, ok it's a good video, but some of the auto repair shots are kinda odd? Dude, go to Mobile1 and quit wasting valuable fishing time! Obviously this is the Crooked...a known whitie bonanza though most are too small to smoke :cool: I was struck by the shot at 3:36 with the orange scud...

    Firehole Outdoors Closing

    Appreciate the information. Thank you Two thoughts: Gotta say I like the web-site "verbage". Well written and conveys their brand and positioning. The hook packs are 36, not 25 hooks, so the price is competitive. Seems like that should be mentioned a little more prominently in the pricing...

    NW Fly Tyer and Fly fishing Expo Albany 2026

    I will be there as an attendee enjoying the spectacle. On a side note, one of my fishin' buddies, Steve Savill, was the new President of the Oregon Chapter of FFI and taking charge of the Expo. Sadly, Steve passed away a few weeks ago leaving a big hole in our hearts and in the FFI...

    Wandering around in the cold

    With the sadly dry winter weather the roads were clear for an adventure. The forecast was for temps in the 40s but in the morning the car read 8 degrees, and I hit some thick freezing fog. Uh oh! Stopped for some sightseeing. I guess that's why they call it Picture Rock Pass... With no...
