    What color High-Vis Post for clear, sunny water?

    Slim, waxed thread body comparaduns, with TriggerPoint fibers splayed and a bubble of CDC for the thorax are my choice for selective trout. The reason for the ant is to have a more durable fly. I struggle to see the color black on the water so appreciate the input on color for the post.

    What color High-Vis Post for clear, sunny water?

    I want to tie some ants with high-viz posts to use in a Panhandle river where I'm told the water is pretty much transparent. What color(s) would be most visible in, let's say, generally sunny conditions?

    BPA SAFE (hatchery) Funding

    By restricting the gillnetters to the SAFE areas for Spring Chinook, it does free up ESA impacts for the Tribes and recreational fishers and allow more hatchery fish to be taken. Even if the SAFE areas aren't ideal, giving just THREE months notice to the partner agencies who operate on 2-year...

    NFR Printer recommendation

    I am satisfied with a Brother laser L23400 black/only printer. There are times color printing would be helpful, and I wouldn't mind getting rid of the separate scanner. So, anyone like a Brother color printer/scanner?

    Floating Craft in Oregon

    I expect OSP officers are cringing at the thought of enforcing this regulation and anticipate them having lots of 'educational' conversations rather than writing citations until their hands cramp. The public will likely have a year or two to come into 'compliance' during which time there may be...

    What are you listening to?

    I used to take this album, Before and After Science, around to the stereo merchants as a reference test. A not uncommon response to my playing this was - "that the hell are we listening to?"

    Can you find this recipe - Matt's Auto Cad - ?

    Just got back from three days on the Missouri River, Holder Dam to Cascade. Pretty tough fishing -- lots of weeds and shut-mouthed trout. On the third day there was a fly that did better during what was still a very sub-par day by Missouri River standards. That fly was a #16 Matt's Auto Cad...

    Lake Manzanita/Lassen VNP

    I only fished it a couple times but it was awesome....in a tube, casting toward the bank and watching trout in that clear water cruising and sipping Callibaetis. I think it was the second time i went back armed with my most realistic Iwamasa-style duns and spinners. I don't think I caught a...
