    Fly Fishing Elitism?

    I see our miscommunication. When I think of "elite" I think elite athlete, elite scientist, elite is not a pejorative in my vocabulary. Elite to me means, "The best or most skilled members of a group.". I'm hearing that you may believe it is a condemnation.

    Fly Fishing Elitism?

    I would move that example toward the art side, much like many of the old Spey patterns.

    Fly Fishing Elitism?

    We agree on that. Economics should not be a factor.

    Fly Fishing Elitism?

    Just an opinion, but fly fishing is quite elitist by definition. One of the parts of fly fishing is entomology; one doesn't have to be an entomologist, but one certainly needs to know the various life stages, if not the very species. This may be even more true regarding fly tying. One doesn't...

    PNW Flood Watch - Dec 8-12, 2025

    Not my original post, but a Redditor put this up. https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?ll=47.461326800469045%2C-122.21254039861273&z=13 Based off of Google's overlay that finally went up, it's accurate.

    New Resident Wild Trout Policy

    If I understand this correctly, this informs decisions, but provides no decisions. It's purely a guidence policy. Am I missing something, Guy? https://wdfw.wa.gov/sites/default/files/2025-11/final-resident-native-trout-fisheries-policy-signed.pdf Have you read or intuited any possible rule...

    Neoprene Waders?

    This is turning into a "me too" cascade, but my experience with neoprene was they were wetter on the inside from sweat than on the outside from the river. A friend once manufactured them; we were surfers in CA hence the concept, but he soon after moved to Bainbridge; I always teased him that he...

    Deals at online Retailers

    I've not tried that one, but I do have Hareline's which is a copy of the Laws. If one ties at shows and would prefer to not have a bunch of fluff flying around, or in high volume, they do speed things up. Would I buy one again? No. I don't do either of the things that the tool helps with. I...

    Peacock feathers have qualities that may explain their efficacy

    Peacocks have a secret hidden in their brightly colored tail feathers: tiny reflective structures that can amplify light into a laser beam. After dyeing the feathers and energizing them with an external light source, researchers discovered they emitted narrow beams of yellow-green laser light...

    https://pnwflyfishing.com/forum/index.php?members/evan-b.2/ This treatment is The Way! We struggle every year buying those stupid hanging trap thingies which never reduce the numbers appreciably.

    NFR Admitted Computer DumbAss, Help!

    To use Evan's comment of, "Do need to add text or change the text that's there?", in the first case, choose the Markup icon (a circle with what appears as a pencil in it) and then choose Text box. If it's the second case, it must be editable, or failing that, highlight all of the text, paste...

    NFR Admitted Computer DumbAss, Help!

    As RCF said, Word can do it, and if you have a Mac, Preview can do it. But note that if this is a legal document derived from an attorney, such as your copy of your trust, you will not be able to edit it as it is protected, almost without exception.

    What credit card do people like

    Alaska points are generally 1 point. Your Chase card, through the UR portal, offers 1.5 with the Reserve. That's what I was referring to. (y)

    And at a much higher point value, if you book through the portal.

    What credit card do people like

    It depends on what you want "free". If it's cash, it's not hard to check bankrate or nerdwallet for the best cash-back cards. If it's international travel, for the past few years it's been a no-brainer to enter the Chase Ultimate rewards world. The travel insurance and rental car insurance are...
