But that is using an "all or none" though process. Just because EV batteries cause some environmental issues does not mean that it causes as much issues. Your logic is that the only thing that should replace diesel fuel is something that is perfectly planet friendly. Certainly anything that...

I used this stuff on the first rod I built. First time I went fishing in the summer here in eastern Wa the tip came off. Now I use regular epoxy to attach the tips.

It breached yesterday. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/chilcotin-landslide-aug-5-1.7285664

I just tuck all my spare rods behind me, or I have a “side table” that Outcast used to make. I like to have 3 rods typically as I often fish two at a time when I can. Bass fishing is the easiest but then I want a floating bass rod, a floating panfish rod, and some type of sinking line. For...

If you are talking about rainbows that are put in a lake yearly by WDFW where they will never reproduce, I'm not sure what you are protecting by shutting down the fishing. I get it for streams that aren't routinely stocked with invasive species.

I can't see this working for the Super Fat Cat. I think the reason I fell out is that I reached forward instead of sideways, and there is not enough flotation in front of the boat and as I reached and moved forward, the boat went up on its forward points and out I slid. I don't see a way of...

How many times have you noticed your fly catching more fish as it gets really beat up? Seems like realism is overrated.

I have a very recent model, it has the vertical sticks in front and magnets in the back. I blew right through that thing, I’m sure that’s what it is designed to do. That was another thing I had to save from sinking as well once I was in the water.

Yes, I had chest waders on, but I had them belted around the waist only, didn't put the shoulder straps on. I ended up with a little bit of water in each leg, probably a quart or less. They really weren't an issue. My wallet and fishing license were both soaked of course. I think the weight...

I wouldn’t use an inflatable life vest in moving water personally, but to answer your question it would be hard to swim aggressively I would think. It was not a problem in the lake though. I still had my flippers on to aid in swimming.

I initially had my sunglasses but must have dropped them when I first scrambled around in the water. I have a Mustang brand inflatable, it’s a few years old now. I’m going to buy a rearm kit, about $35. I remember being in the water thinking that my vest didn’t inflate, and then it did...

Whenever I read a story about someone falling out of their float tube, or even "turtling" it, I wonder about how that can possibly happen. Well, Rich and I were out bass fishing this past week at a hike in lake one evening. It was nearing dark, the sun had set and so I had taken my sunglasses...

I would do both, splint on the inside and the outside. You need to have a lot of spare parts (broken rods around. It will definitely stiffen the rod's action, and speaking from experience, it is very difficult to keep the rod perfectly straight so watch as you are bonding it. I have done it...

Does anyone here routinely score or re-score their loaves 5 minutes into baking? I tried that this morning and it seemed to improve the oven spring.

If you read about air pressure gauges on a rafting site, most boaters don’t use them. They just go by firmness, some deflection with thumb or heel of the hand. An under inflated boat would have more drag in the water I would think, an overinflated boat would be at risk of rupturing if it got...

I used to have a pressure gauge back when I had a real raft. Now I just go to firm pressure, but depends on what I'm doing. If I am starting in the cool morning and I'm hiking in and expecting a warm afternoon, I may be a little light on the pumping, whereas if I'm at the launch at the heat of...

Gotta be photoshopped, I'm looking at the shadow of the truck, seems like sun is straight up but boat is reflecting off the bottom, maybe from the truck. And hard to believe a boat of that weight did no damage that we can see from this angle. I don't own any big boats, but wouldn't the weight...

Wouldn't work, would just be a crappy view.

If you do the parking, get reservations early. My wife and I flew out of Seattle in April for the first time in a long time. We got to the hotel (we live the eastern Washington) and started looking for parking but all the lots were full with reservations. Luckily our hotel had parking though...

The problem with the weekends up there is that the parking lot is used by hikers on the PCT as well. If you trailer a boat up there, there is only a few places that will fit your truck and trailer without it blocking traffic anyway.
