    I saw the nesting bird (female ?) sneeze. Didn't know they did that. Understandable cuz the wind was blowing and it looks really cold up there.. Thanks for posting this. I'll be watching.

    Chironomid Tying

    In order to save wear and tear on my scissors I use a very small pair of side cutters for wire of any size. I can get close enuf to the hook to do the job to my satisfaction. And it never wears out or gets dull.

    NFR Humor (No political jokes)

    Great scene in Pulp Fiction during a restaurant robbery he tells the wouldbe robber to get his wallet out of the bag. Robber says which one is it? He says the one that says bad ass mfer and sure enough he pulls out a finely tooled leather wallet on which is engraved "bad ass mfer" Hilarious.

    SFR Floaters...Is There An Eye Doctor In The House?

    This video was an eye opener for me (sorry if that sounds like a bad pun). I had retina surgery a few years ago to remove scar tissue that appeared over time. A year after recovery I had cataract surgery in that eye but because of the retina surgery, the process to remove the cataract took...

    Fly tyer expo list ...Albany

    In past years I've been able to find a tyers list and times well before the event so I could plan my visit. Not able to find it so thinking I may be looking a little to early. Not getting anywhere on the expo website. Anyone know how to find this info. I'm going. Haven't missed a...

    Waders

    I bought a pair of Proline waders on sale at Bob's Sporting Goods in Longview and they have served me well. I haven't worn them this winter as I'm still recovering from a severely fractured hip. From May till September I wade wet in the D. My pontoon keeps my butt out of the water so...

    Waders

    Peyton Manning said "Face it, you'll never get 6 pack abs again, so just buy bigger shirts" I've had expensive pairs of Simms that leaked and had to be replaced after multiple patch jobs. I finally found a pair of waders on sale for $7o bucks that were a hair oversized but have lasted a...

    Takin' a ride of the dry side...

    Fished this river in November and nearly froze my webbies off. Took forever, it seemed, to get my neoprene waders off and into my rig. Went home and bought some simms lightweights I could layer up under. And then never went back in November. Here summer lasts until Oct. 15 and winter...

    Lake etiquette very poor today

    I cured any temptation I have of getting mad enough to flip off other drivers. I have a hard to forget personalized license plate that says, go figure, Bobduck. I won't even flip off little old ladies. I'm not the slowest guy in the world but I'm working on it.

    Found fly box on the Crooked River Oregon

    I get free address labels from trout unlimited. I just stick one on each of my fly boxes. Years ago, like at least a zillion, I read an article by Ted Trueblood about how he lost lots of jackknives just by sitting them on the ground and then forgetting them. It's easy to sit down on the...

    Running into fishing enforcement on my first day flyfishing...

    suspicious? I must look really bad. I've been checked on the D more times than I count. Several times over the years by the same officer. The last time I was just getting back to camp when he drove in. After displaying my license I offered him a beer. He declined saying he was on...

    Running into fishing enforcement on my first day flyfishing...

    I was a poacher once, but not on purpose. It was years before fly fishing. I picked up the paper and noticed that opening day was this coming Saturday. Oh boy I'm going fishing and I know exactly where I wanted to go. A small lake on the Wa. side of the Columbia. When I got there...

    OSP needs help (fishing closed waters on Walla Walla river)

    When I lived there I always bought licenses in both Ore and Wa. Still do today. There are other streams that cross the state line but I didn't have to worry. Just fish contentedly.
