All of those bran All of those brands are fine. I prefer a 6wt for the beach out here, but a 5wt works fine for SRC. The Echo Boot Blue is a fine rod, throws an OBS great. I second what others have said about the 2 handed rods for beach fishing. I have a Boost Beach, I like it a lot, but...

Wouldn't have minded the River Salts in addition to my foot tractors but I'll just use the foot tractors and call it leg day. Even if Patagonia decided to stop reconditioning the older Danner boots the soles are still stitched (and nailed?) on so a cobbler should be able to resole them.

Picked up a second pair of foot tractors so I can have one with cleats and one with rubber soles for using in boats.

From an observer who hasn't boated there, just fished the beaches: The water is moving once you get to Hoypus point and beyond, but I've seen smaller boats moving around getting crab pots there. At Ala the water is moving on big tide changes but again I've seen smaller boats moving through there.

I wanted to go out today but after fishing a couple of days out in Forks and going through the 'fun' of having to drive the long way back and forgetting my backpack at the lodge meant I just didn't have it in me. Time to spend some weekends getting house projects done and maybe sneak back to the...

The only gun I ever regret selling is my 6" S&W 686+

So to start: Gun people can be very opinionated. I certainly have a couple opinions. But the most important thing is that you do whatever feels the best for you, and that if you want to use it in a self defense scenario you train to use that gun. If you want to use a gun with a safety, then go...

Picked this up last night. Definitely get whats on the tin, casting and chilling. Kept me occupied for a while, managed to tie a fly while playing and letting it idle. I really want to play that but I've never seen it below $60 which my brain rebels at for some reason.

I'd be tentatively interested.

There were a good number of folks on the 530 bridge by Howard Miller with binoculars on Saturday so I assume they were staring at something. Saw a few flying around on the sauk as well.

WDFW didn't cut the program. The State cut the program and tons of other programs. Whining about WDFW probably feels good, but it doesn't get anything done. Write your state reps and tell them that you think its important it gets funded as a permanent part of the WDFW budget.

I'd do it because I could say "I fished with this reel I made and caught a fish" Its one of the reasons I enjoy tying my flies and why I'd consider building a rod. Beyond that with 3d printing specifically you can do a lot of shapes that can't be done with casting or CNC machining. I can't think...

Yeah, they sold hay from those fields until last year ( I think this is what the manager said ), they had to stop because the non-grass plants in the field became too prevalent and so they couldn't hay it anymore.

Absolutely no idea :LOL: There was a mix of wetland deciduous trees and shrubs (they all looked like red sticks to me). There will be conifers mixed in as well but those weren't there to plant yet.

The holes have been there for months, but yeah the multitude of little sticks are new. Supposedly all of the fields will get the full treatment but it didn't sound like they were solid on what that timeline is

My wife volunteered me to do a thing on new years day. Saw this picture show up today from the Deception Pass Park Foundation (and somehow I made it in the picture in my Confluence hoodie) The hay fields next to Pass are owned by the state park, and previously were used for hay production but...

I heard from a guy in the know that said that the TU lobbyist reported that the 'private funding' idea was dead in the water. Either way, write (and keep writing) your state congresscritters, they need to make sure that the QS funding is in the permanent WDFW budget, not a line item, which is...

I'd agree, its just a different way of having focus. I don't often find the hyperfocus anymore, not sure why. But what I have found is that I can use the short attention span to my attention as well. My job involves dealing with lots of different pathways at once. Usually I'm able to stop what...

I just double checked, I must have finished the last fly I was working on. I definitely get distracted by, pretty much anything, when tying flies, or watching TV (or working). Got an ADD diagnosis decades ago, but was old enough to decide for myself what to do, ended up forgoing any drugs and...
