Randy, Subaru is probably the answer. The Achilles heel of late model Subarus are the CVTs. The problem stemmed from Subaru initially saying the transmissions had a "lifetime" fluid, which is crazy. As long as you find one with under 60k miles, and you service the CVT fluid as soon as you get it...

A little late posting these ladies from last week.

Sorry y'all, I forgot to update. @bucktail took the rod wrapping stuff and the books, but I still have the soles if anyone's interested. They'll be on their way to Goodwill tomorrow if no one wants them.

I get it, but I just don’t have the space.

I decided I’m never going to builds rods, so passing this on to someone who will use it (please don’t sell it, ok?) Older Flex Coat (I think) rod wrapper and some miscellaneous bits (a couple reel seats, some cork, thread, tools). Also have the Flex Coat start to finish building book and a...

First few fish of the new year from that big Oregon east side ditch. Whitey was number one:

These G rated flies (sorry, I don’t have @clarkman ’s imagination): Caught these guys:

Sadly, it is not @albula ’s ugly stick, nor @PhilR ’s youthful idealism. If you were at lake within a reasonable drive from Portland over the weekend or on Monday, check your gear and hit me up if you happen to be missing something.

I thought I was pretty good at spotting clanker images, but also ended up at 75%. Some are super obvious, but others are very good. The future of misinformation is going to be wild. People already fall for AI stuff, and it's only getting better.

I dunk all my semi seal leeches, balanced or not, in almost boiling water. Does it really make a difference? I have no idea…

Any super glue, from the hardware store or fly shop, should do the trick for you. I just brush some on after I tie the pin on the hook shank.

Yeah, that yellow stomper and a purple haze.

Replenishing some attractors. Micro chubbies and hippie stompers.

Didn’t take many pictures, but this guy was productive.

Not to help continue the thread drift, but every Hardcore History series (and the one Blitz episodes) are so good. I give Ghosts of the Ostfront and Blueprint for Armageddon an annual listen.

I highly recommend Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History series on the war in the Pacific, “Supernova in the East.” It’s six episodes, and each episode is about five hours, so it’s a time commitment. It is fantastic though.

That’s the plan my man.

Big green drake film critic. Still refining and trying to figure these things out.
