Damn Billy, I was just about to get the bassin' gear ready and then you go and post a report like that. Awesome stuff, it's nice when a lengthy slog gets you into some nice fish. Were you throwing that jig on a flyrod? If so, what weight was the jighead?

Hi Robert, just saw this. I'll snap some pics tomorrow. :)

They have those built commercially as well - called Topperlift.

I do like that Moonlander X, really nice. I have the Project M on my '24 Tundra and am still happy with it. It costs about twice as much, but it has solar panels and a charging station, a full king sized bed (slideout), a remote control fan with multiple speeds that can be set to suck air in...

Stick it in your ear - if it eats your brain it will prove you're right. ;)

I own that same SRB raft and frame and it's an awesome raft for 2 people. If it's in decent shape 1500 is a steal!

I'm' retired now but gotta laugh at the "government employees are union which makes cutting the fat neatly impossible" I don't know about the rest of govt., but at King County it was nearly impossible to keep the staff necessary to provide the services demanded by KC residents. Whether...

I've gone thru several and you'll probably be surprised what's prowling around your backyard @ night. First bought a Browning but it crapped out after 6 months. The one I have now I bought off Amazon based on reviews. Decided I wanted one that had a solar panel for charging, the one I bought...

You can also set the phone on Airplane Mode and turn off Bluetooth and other optional functions to extend battery life. You can still use the camera as well as have the app open for license verification and the battery will last for days. Get one of those little power paks that also doubles...

Digital for me. I also have the Oregon app with my licensing for that state and it works great. Hoping for similar effectiveness from the WDFW app might be wishful thinking, but I decided to give it a go.

Most, including the CP folks (myself included) will fish down the run, same as the Spooners and fly swingers. If someone was there first and working up, I'd do as Matt suggested and either go somewhere else or talk to them (as you did) regarding their intent. We all need to share runs, but...

Just a few thoughts - First, Jim is an awesome guide and if you asked him for the highest return on time investment he's going to hand you an indicator rod with an egg on the end. He knows where the fish are at different water heights and it sounds like you got action both days. If you enjoy...

100% agree with Sky on this one. Just FYI, the Puget Sound Anglers have initiated a signature writing campaign on this very issue. Turns out it's not just Skagit Steelhead that need monitoring funds to have a fishery, and it turns out WDFW failed to request ANY monitoring funds in their budget...

Bite my CornPuppy?

Bear Creek is (was) my go-to for a quick&dirty camping spot when fishing the Quill tribs. They've got my attention and will get my emails/calls. I used to pack a hatchet as part of my offgrid kit, might have to replace it with my new battery operated Sawzall.

Hang in there Bill! Just got over a weeklong bug that sounds like that, bad sinus and chest congestion + gnarly cough. Felt so bad I almost went to urgent care, which was actually the day it started getting better. Not the body and joint aches usually associated with the flu, but my lungs...

Nice summary Spoonchucker. The only thing I have to add is that DFW needs to find a way to accept outside/private funding for specific monitoring issues like the Skagit spring season. I'm told the private $$$ were there to fund the 2026 monitoring costs but the dept had no way to process these...

They're great trucks, when I test drove mine I was immediately sold. "It's all that and more" than the F150 is exactly why I bought my Ram truck back in 2016. But the recalls/issues and absolutely shitty support from the dealers is why I'm no longer a Ram owner.

Hey Bill, good luck with your search. I've had Ford (gas and diesel), GMC, and Ram EcoDiesel trucks. Based on my own experience, I'll never own another GMC (persistent leak issues etc etc) or Ram (serious failures in warranty support) again. My Ram had wonderful features and was a great ride...

Just a few thoughts from someone who likes using a switch rod on the beach. First, I don't use it for longer casts. I find that when wind is coming off either side (and you'll get a lot of wind on the beach) I can easily throw spiral roll casts of either shoulder to keep the fly out of my ears...
