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...

The water on the Skagit was finally low enough to try fishing/exploring some of the spots, still too high for lots of good access though. Lots of trees lodged in new places (like tree trees, not just logs). One creek mouth I fish quite a bit has completely shifted its channel, it looks like a...

Still looking and still trying to understand value and what is reasonable. Saw this one of FB and figured I'd use it as a for example: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1408950667281682/ 2008 Clackacraft FFB drift boat Very nice drift boat package, ready to hit the water today.This...

I've definitely taken to opening mine before I do any big trip where I'll be out of 5G coverage. It helps that I habitually look at the app to imagine where I want to go fishing next;.

I have a pair of just the rubber soles right now, I figured I'd try them and see if I wanted to buy the cleats or not (spoiler, they came with the cleats) Now I have to decide if I want to stick the cleats in and buy another pair for boat use. When I put them on the first time I was honestly...

I got a pair of these for christmas, hands down the best wading boots I've had just based on the past couple outings.

Thanks, this is exactly what I was assuming the procedure would be.

You lost me at 5:30am. I'm not as 'young' anymore at 44 (had to do the math there) but this is also just not true. Young people spend a ton of time going out and socializing in the real world (IRL as is the fashion) just like they've always done, also just like always I guess we all love to...

Eh, to me the title implies that the army takeover of the dam was necessary to reduce the flood impact, and that without the army takeover it wouldn't have happened. The fact that its normal for this to happen isn't mentioned at all in the article.

I'd also agree that this forum acts as a 3rd space, along with some of my other online forums/chats. I'd love for more in person interaction but I find, for myself, that its too easy for things to become 'chores' and then I don't want to do them anymore (this is the problem with anything that...

The way that article's title is worded sounds like SLP & PSE weren't going to do anything to control the flooding, which I'm positive is not the case. But hey, throwing more sticks on the culture war fire never hurt anything right!

Completely agree. If young people aren't joining your club the problem isn't young people, its that your club isn't set up in a way that attracts young people. I always hear that 'young people aren't interested in fly fishing' but I see a ton of young people out on the river fly fishing, which...

Agree with a lot of things that people have already said. When I moved up to Whidbey last year I decided that a fly fishing club might be a good way to meet people. Looked into the couple that are near me and quickly came to the conclusion that they weren't going to work. They all had a...

Thanks, I think being able to put a small electric or gas motor on it would be nice for some of the lakes near me.

I'm actually on board with the be able to launch it and go yourself, I just think that part of my deciding to go for the drift boat is that I don't actually think I want to deal with that most of the time when I go to the river. For context, I'm on Whidbey, so a boat I can launch and take out on...

OK, so I've been thinking about my boat needs (wants). I want a sound boat. But thats spendy and I think honestly I need to wait till I have more money saved anyway. I also want a river boat. I was torn between a drift boat, a raft or a jet boat. Recently I've thought more about this, I don't...

The tech bust wasn't a bust in the actual value or use of tech though. The .com bubble of the early 2000s didn't prove that the web wasn't a thing that was here to stay an valuable, just that the stock market had over valued it. For all the jokes, pets.com is literally a thing today, it was...

It looks like the Skagit crested in Concrete at just below the record this morning

Are there more details about this?

I went to the TU meeting in Mt Vernon last week. The general consensus after talking with legislators was that there was little to no hope of the funding being put back in for the season to start back up after the Jan 31 river closing. And not a lot of hope of the legislature doing anything...
