Ditto Salmo G - I'm a Dawg grad but have always followed and rooted for the Zags because they have a class program and are consistently competitive. Whether it's because of the transfer portal or not, Huskies basketball has been a box of chocolates for quite a few years.

Order one for the Huskies, I'm sure they're hungering for some Duck on a Stick right now.

This is how Darwin Award winners (or Jackass wannabe's ) get started.

Love it . . . you managed to avoid carpet (which is tough with those style boats) and lots of open room. Also smart to go with a saltwater bow mounted troller. I almost went with a similar Crestliner when I was shopping. I'm scheduled to get one installed on my new-to-me Alumaweld I just...

Reminds me of one of my fave Christmas tunes SteelheadDave . . . "Chipmunks Roasting on an Open Fire" 🐹

You can definitely use your 5wt. Wind on the salt is the best reason to err toward a 6wt. Check out the TFO Blitz 6wt - designed for saltwater with fighting butt, around $400 and fast warranty service if you break it.

What I've learned = it's all about the size of your pipe! o_O I'm fine with electric inside and the gas grill outside for the summer. Cool thread and very interesting!

Damn, even a canine mascot to keep the crew in line! Nicely done Bill!! :D

Not Lou's, but now I'm curious cuz I love pizza. :p

Not really a 'pay it forward', but the wife has been ordering mailorder stuff and it comes in big styrofoam coolers insulated in dry ice. The coolers are nice and are well made. But they're filling up my garage and need to leave. If there's any interest, I can arrange pickup in the north...

I've really enjoyed reading this thread and, as Billy mentioned, am appreciative that everyone has remained civil. Some interesting points have been made that bring up interesting philosophical questions - Do Grizzlies lives and species continuity matter as much as human lives and human...

Rivers are blown, so I'm really grateful for this thread. Yes, Griz are in the North Cascades. A friend was hiking out of Marblemount on the Pacific Crest Trail several summers ago and showed me his bear pics from the trail after he returned. Taken from about 200yds, you could clearly see...

Frank Herbert may have been a prophet . . . . was Dune a vision of our future? If it is, I sure hope we can do it without those giant worms.

Merle, the rod appears to be a Bruce and Walker 16'6" Walker, paired with an old Hardy Perfect 4". Many of the folks that use longer spey rods also cast extended taper lines (70'+ forward tapers). He certainly may have cast all 120', it's possible with rods that length. Guys with big rods...

It is bullshit Shad, but this whole Clearwater C&R record has only been going on for a few years. I've released one that was photographed and taped over 40" (a hatchery fish no less), and that wouldn't have even get the old timer's blood pressure up. I've seen fish larger than mine caught, and...

Congrats Roper . . . that sounds like a fabulous rod. Cane certainly is addicting. Good to see that you're spending that money wisely! :D

WSC reminds me of the comic with a dude in a tree, facing the trunk and sawing off the branch he is sitting on. Wife comes out to comment and her hubby basically tells her to F off. Sort of sums up the history of these Orgs . . . reasonable common sense suggestions (items 1 and 2) coupled...

FrankenTiger . . . .I'll bet the folks in Tasmania can hardly wait.

Brown trout, love em! Great photos and story BFG! I spent many a summer night chasing them on eastside WA lakes known for monsters. Caught a few while listening to the Coyotes and Owls (and having my fly attacked by Bats). The toilet flush sound of a large Brown taking a surface (or near...
