If you extrapolate out further, it's clear that the risks of a sedentary life and the low grade vices that most people indulge in have a vastly higher death toll. Having said that IMO there's no small number of outdoor pursuits that are vastly more dangerous than driving but produce relatively...

Agree. Could just be a personal quirk of mine, but I've often reflected on the fact that I can be pretty calm and comfortable in situations that are light years more dangerous than lying by myself in a tent in an isolated campground, but if I hear a twig snapping nearby or it can light up the...

Same - but it seems 100% clear that A) this was land that the State had clear and uncontested ownership of for decades, and was acquired, developed and maintained for the express purpose of providing access to the public and B) the WDFW was actively seeking to acquire this land from the DOC to...

Lots to ponder WRT the "administrative delays" that arose after the "consultations" with the tribe and local landowners and have held up the transfer from the DOC to the WDFW since 2018 despite the WDFW having previously sought to acquire the property for years and the DOC supporting the transfer.

Sounds like the deal hasn't been finalized but also sounds like the final outcome is all but certain. https://nwsportsmanmag.com/lower-snoqualmie-boat-launch-may-be-acquired-from-state-by-tulalip-tribes/

Not afraid to admit that I sleep more soundly when I'm armed when out camping by myself in a random pull-out. This despite knowing that 1) the odds of anyone creeping up on you while camping are indistinguishable from zero and 2) successfully defending yourself when ambushed in your sleep aren't...

Awesome. Would love to see some photos if you have any.

Another cascadeclimbers.com alumnus on board! Very impressed at the stoicism and fortitude of your children! I've been able to get my girls up skiing, hundreds of miles of river-miles on multi-day raft-trips, camping, mushroom hunting, and have managed to work in a bit of fishing (roping in...

Thanks everyone for the tips and feedback! Picked up a heavier Rage head and will incorporate the casting tips into the mix and see how it goes.

I've still got a ways to go when it comes to Skagit casting, but I've got enough of a hang of it to generally get my fly where I want it to go under most conditions. I feel like I should invest any time I have to practice on getting better at the skagit game, but I think last year for the first...

Going to tie a couple on shanks and a couple on hooks and see how it goes...

Forecast is for a display roughly on par with what we had on 5/10 this year. Anyone seeing anything yet? https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/aurora-30-minute-forecast

Makes me wonder what the returns are like on the Wenatchee...

No one asked for it, but here it is anyway: The pnwflyfishing.com Tuna 2024 Thread Summary Podcast. Interesting to listen and see which subjects & contributions/contributors our AI overlords select for special emphasis. Tuna 2024 - The Podcast

When I learned that Google released an AI tool that would ingest any content on the web and transmute it into an astonishingly lifelike podcast dialogue about said content, it was immediately clear that the best and highest use of this technological wonder would be feeding it the 'Team...

Anyone remember the rationale for closing 9 at the end of September?

Music to my ears. It's been a mighty busy year with very little fishing, but things are looking up from now through the end of the year so that's great incentive to keep trying to sneak out when I've got a time-window right up until the closing bell.

"The Precious" - original rendition by "Cougar97" from the old board.

I don't tie anything fancy enough to need these feathers, but I noticed the following listing on FB marketplace. Can't vouch for the rarity/price - but they're certainly pretty. Seems like they'd be good for conjuring up a high-end rendition of "The Precious" and potentially winding up as a bit...

When do most folks throw in the towel when it comes to pursuing coho in the salt in MA10-13? All the way to the buzzer?
