    road trip to the Northwest Territories

    No advice but sounds like a great trip 👍 A lifetime ago I saw some woodland buffalo up in the Yukon… crazy stuff when one is accustomed to seeing them on the plains or in broad valleys. Post lotsa pix 👍

    What you watching. 😆

    Yesterday was date day so the wife & I went to this. It's all that Breck said and more. In my opinion, a powerful movie. The only down side for me was it was also an unforseen PTSD trigger....and I'm not even military....so for those who might be affected by such things, be ware. And if...

    Backyard Wildlife

    I had no idea Blue Jays were so smart. We have two suet cake feeders in the back yard. One is stationary and the other hangs from a branch. The Jays will not use the hanging feeder and they cleaned out the stationary one early. This guy solved the problem by flying up and pecking at the...

    Fish Camp

    Thanks for sharing. Between you, Smalma, and a couple others, I've gotten soooo much information to work with....sure makes it exciting again. At times I feel like I'm back in college, when I was first introduced to fly fishing, and I'd obsessively mark the time until I could get back out on...

    Fish Camp

    I’m trying to figure out tide waters in my area. How are you fishing those? Fast strip? Twitching on the swing? Try to keep it in the bottom half of the water column? with a bit of dynamite?? 🙃

    Awesome Dogs of PNW

    My wife’s 14 year old Shih Tzu has got doggie dementia big time. The other day we had a family text thread going regarding Sammie’s new trick of pooping in front of my wife’s closet door🤷🏻‍♂️ And one of my boys sent this….made me chuckle & thought I’d share

    Best Low Budget Fly Rods And Reels???

    I’ve gotten a couple Aventik reels…a 3 wt and a 7/8. https://www.amazon.com/Aventik-Center-Classic-Graphite-Fishing/dp/B07P6JDJJQ Honestly they look like a complete copy of a couple Echo reels I have. I’ve used the 3 wt a bunch but the 7/8 not so much. That said I’m happy with them. Because...

    Hit the river today

    Thanks for taking the time to write it up. We're somewhat on the same page.....well....except I've gotten spoiled with a low end e-bike :rolleyes: I bet you get hot and sweaty using a pedal bike! I did that a few times back in the day but now I'm one of the gray hairs on a power assist...

    Hit the river today

    Oh Man! That looks like a friggin awesome day! Way to go(y) If you would…take a picture of your self shuttle set up, please. I have a two wheeled Travoy like this👇 that I can fit my un inflated Kodiak on but it’s a hassle. I just started working on a way to haul the raft inflated but...

    Freshwater coho flies

    I’m almost there Master Curt ( no insult intended). I’m just not strong enough yet to go with the Force.😉 I’ve given up carrying multiple boxes of the next best fly to the river. I know some stretches fish better than others. It’s just my competitive, thick headed OCD still tells me that if I...

    Freshwater coho flies

    Absolutely. It was a humbling day ( and I didn’t intend to come across as whiney) but a good one. It’s bitter/sweet but generally I like having other fishers around cuz I get pushed to learn or try new stuff when I’m not producing….and having the netters above me this morning was better...
