Well put.

Good report, Dave. A couple of more weeks before the temperatures are unhealthy I would imagine.

Contact Crow Creek fly shop in Roslyn. The owner is a very entertaining speaker and has been fly fishing since she was four, I think. https://www.crowcreekguide.com/

Isn't WDFW relying on volunteer catch reporting on the OP currently?

I went digital. I wish there were a way to put the license in my digital wallet. Since I am currently a paper license holder (which doesn't expire for a few days, they don't show me a way to download the new mobile license to my phone. Hopefully, April 1st, that will happen.

I wrote DNR an email a couple of weeks ago after learning about the possible closure of their Chopaka campground. I received a "general" reply that never used the word Chopaka. I copied the text which I am pasting in this email. DNR RE CPL 1:32 PM (0 minutes ago) to me Hello...

Didn't know they made wheels for my boat. That's the ticket for Lenice.

If the scribes and cyphers at DNR do close the campground, the lake will still be open. Just no camping.

We Were you boat or bank fishing?

How were you fishing it? I am thinking of going to Minnie in a week. Are there any rattlers to worry about. I am taking my dog.

Is it possible to charge these batteries using a 100 watt solar panel? If so, how would I wire it up?

Here on some more photos from that trip. https://share.icloud.com/photos/098mMNJzGdf0YrgYx5EKN0AvA

A group of us fished Chopaka in mid May which we have done for decades. The fishing experience was not what it has been. The bug life had changed dramatically and the numbers of fish were down. In the past, we could rely on good chironomid activity while waiting for the mayflies to hatch giving...

Here is another very portable option. I know, I know it looks like a toy which was my first reaction, but it works surprising well. It is about the size of two cigarette packs, but inflates my Clearwater kick boat to 80-85% in a couple of minutes, then I top it off with a K-pump...

I did too until I started putting it in the sleeve with the handle down.

I second Mike's comments, those are lovely flies, Dave. So consistent and uniform.

I am sorry I missed the Bamboo get together this year. I always enjoy casting and seeing the history of bamboo rods on display. We were in eastern Washington on a pay-to-play lake which is well managed for large, energetic rainbows. After which, I went to Chopaka to unlimber one of Mike Monsos'...

I just ran across this raft while checking out the NRS website. A new personal watercraft from NRS. It looks like a competitor to the Outcast Stealth Pro except it has a mini frame with "real" oars...

It has been discontinued although they still have one advertised on their website. You would have to glue on a Scotty anchor mount in order to have an anchoring system. https://www.nrs.com/nrs-gigbob-20/p9fg?srsltid=AfmBOorOl1xq_NpBXIutCciB-UpQGiMtrMweN_U07gvrqbsNBhiYfuHv

You could use cam straps going around the tubes where the foot rest attaches and carabiner the footrest to the cam straps. Just a thought on losing the oar towers: I would think it more likely the oar would snap out of the oar lock first. That's why I use safety straps from the oar to the oar tower.
