    U.S. drafts plan to bring grizzly bears back to Washington’s North Cascades (WAPO)

    i haven't been around much lately but stumbling on this thread was an early christmas gift. what a bonus to get the end and find it still not locked down. so economical - one thread with so much good input. the usual suspects chop up the subject in an interesting and meaningful way, we get...

    A good thought but definitely not anodized.

    Reel Refinishing?

    Just what I had in mind. Nice work @Bambooflyguy and thanks for sharing. Did you fashion the handle on the second reel?

    Reel Refinishing?

    I bought an old SA System Two reel on ebay with two extra (3 total) spools. It's got the standard wear through the finish on the outside edges and I'm debating whether to leave it as-is or possibly remove the finish and go with bare aluminum. Seems like the potential cons would be reflection...

    Show off your favorite abandoned-garbage-riverside-homeless-camps of 2022!

    i saw it sometimes when i was a kid fishing lake washington tributaries like juanita creek in kirkland, bear creek in redmond, and little bear creek in woodinville. not encampments - but like one guy living under a bridge near a grocery store where he'd have a steady supply of dumpster food -...

    Cutbow?

    I'm not seeing any bow in it. The markings on the back really are interesting, but I still think it's just coastal cutt. Sometimes in lakes it seems like they can get some really cool variations - maybe based on bottom color and diet? Are coastal/westslope hybrids a thing? Seems like they...

    Tough fishing at a well-known central WA lake 2022/10/27

    There's either something else besides stocking that explains what's changed there (and in other lakes), or else WDFW's published stocking numbers just don't foot with what actually gets stocked - and are not just off by a little. It seems universal that for years the reports there contain...

    Will you now post fishing content on Twitter?

    i've got an account but have never been able to get interested enough to keep the app on my phone. i won't post anything, but if you're going to post your fishing content, i'll follow along. @swimmy...? lots of swimmy_ handles over there - which is yours?

    With Our Already High Fuel Prices This Is Really Going To Hit The Pocketbook

    what i saw was "the command tent or for that matter the couch at home" - and without a doubt there are both, especially on an internet forum. but my real point is that the evidence is clear that most small business entrants also "don't know what they speak of" when it comes to the business side...

    With Our Already High Fuel Prices This Is Really Going To Hit The Pocketbook

    armchair opinionators aside - the analyst in the command tent and the soldier in the field need each other. picture a soldier attempting to fight a war on the ground alone without intelligence. 98% of small businesses don't survive the 2 year mark. only 1% get past year 5. almost always, this...

    With Our Already High Fuel Prices This Is Really Going To Hit The Pocketbook

    surfnfish essentially summarized the findings of the only two actual studies in your magic "5" study article from newsmax - but now you say those findings are erroneous. you really should have read those studies before posting them mike. how can people rely on your thousands of editorial...

    With Our Already High Fuel Prices This Is Really Going To Hit The Pocketbook

    i DO believe there's a left-leaning bias. looks like in addition to not reading the studies or the newsmax article, you also didn't really read my post. the only real studies in your link confirm that there's a left leaning bias in the community-produced content overall because the way the...

    With Our Already High Fuel Prices This Is Really Going To Hit The Pocketbook

    we can stick with the facts after we get them in the first place. 1. the first study (working paper) referenced by the newsmax article is accurately but gratuitously quoted out of context by newsmax, and is not actually focused on whether wikipedia is left or right - but on whether a community...
