Was thinking/hoping they'd re-open the Snoho system after 11/31 since there won't be many salmon left to impact after that point but who knows....

Sounds like good news. Thanks, Curt!

Is there still a winter hatchery program on the Sky or are the only hatchery plants for the summer broodstock program?

The amount you save on a single monthly housing payment would cover an awful lot of BTUs! All of the downsides of living in the NE are real, but when I was touring around the area during a 3 year stint in the NE, Upstate NY in particular seemed under-rated relative to a lot of the rest of the...

Upstate NY is a very under-rated in many dimensions when it comes to the outdoors and the cost of housing is almost comically low. This is what $125K gets you: https://www.redfin.com/NY/Rochester/138-Mount-Airy-Dr-14617/home/72562197

Could be perfectly legit but not the way anyone I know who bought a Burkie for their own use would go about listing it for sale. Thought I'd post just in case someone has a "Fly Fishing Rod" with that serial number that's gone missing.

Was lobbying for "Conrad" if we had boy but we had all girls....

Took the climbing gear out of the gear-closet/mausoleum for the first time since 2017. Always thought it was sadly ironic that when I was finally in a place to move my gear from tubs stuffed wherever to a proper gear closet was about the time it became next to impossible to get out and use it.🤣

Pretty much any inbound e-mail or call claiming that you need to confirm or update anything pertaining to any account you may have is a scam.

Interesting. Must be spring-fed - at least in the lower stretch?

That number for the Tucannon is quite striking. Must be heading to a hatchery fairly low on the river based on what I've seen of that drainage while driving by. Looks like marginal carp habitat, at least in the summer.

Insane.

I can see the appeal of Port Townsend if you're wired that way for sure, but it fails when it comes to other criteria. Based on those inputs, and painting in broad strokes I'd say that you can probably remove the following parts of the Puget Sound from consideration: -Hood Canal -Anything on...

Think it'd help if you could add some of the things that are important to you in order of importance. Lots of amazing places around the Sound but none of them is going to offer everything to everyone. Risks setting off a bit of a dumpster-fire - but if being around like-minded folks with a...

With the price of new cars - new trucks in particular - I've started to wonder if more folks might start contemplating just putting a new engine or engine + transmission in their vehicles instead of buying new if the rest of the vehicle is in good shape.

Very helpful insights. Will give those a try the next time I find myself in that sort of situation for sure. Thanks!

Visual Aid: https://www.angelfire.com/wa/salmonid/lovelace99.html Had the same thought about this fly when I saw all of the tiny saurie on the cleaning table.

Rolled up on an astounding conglomeration of birds, bait, and seams this past Friday (water was literally boiling with bait) and found myself thinking "Okay - so now what?" Didn't think matching the billion baitfish would be the best approach, so I stuck with a pink-over-white clouser, cast to...

All a matter of perspective, I suppose. From my perspective it seems like things have worked out pretty well since over the course of my lifetime there's been a massive improvement in the quality and selection in every category of gear at inflation-adjusted price-points that are almost...
