    Pet behavior

    I didn't find another thread about pets and things they do out of the ordinary, but if there is one apologies in advance. I grew up with dogs, but when I married the girl of my dreams, it was pretty obvious we were going to have cats as pets. At first I wasn't sure about cats, but after 48 years...

    Grilling salmon (other methods also allowed for discussion) - your go-to recipes and techniques

    Olive oil with salt and pepper for pretty much every type of fish I grill. Lower heat, low and slow. I like to taste the flavor of the fish and not enhance it with lots of seasonings, with one exception. Grilled halibut with McCormick's lemon pepper seasoning just goes together (tip from a chef...

    Didn't fish it as the water level and flow rate was too high.

    Solo fishing

    Yes thanks! I've had a great career working the same job for the last 41 years. Mixed feelings on retirement though. I like what I do, like going to work but I'm not getting any younger. I've wanted to fish for a long time and never felt I had the time. Funny I'm a financial guy and have...

    Solo fishing

    I'm 72, in reasonable shape, and still agile so I plan on hiking in where necessary. A wading stick is a great idea, and if my iPhone can double as a satellite phone in an emergency I'm covered. As far as carrying, I'd rather have one and not need it than the reverse. Not for people so much as...

    Solo fishing

    I'm retiring at the end of June and will have time finally to fish where/when I want. The challenge is most friends and people I know don't fish so I'm probably going solo for a lot of the time. How many here fish solo and what's your experience? Things I think I'll need include a sat phone for...

    What Are You Eating?

    Trying our best to eat healthy. What you can't see is the halibut underneath the veggies. Plus this seasoning is killer on halibut. Season the halibut, add veggies of choice, drizzle with olive oil, close up the aluminum foil and bake at 350 for about 25 minutes.

    NFR Alcohol going out of style

    Alcohol and weed are a huge waste of time, from someone that knows. It's encouraging people are turning away.

    NFR Alcohol going out of style

    As someone who needs his sleep, alcohol interferes hugely. I started monitoring my sleep as my Apple watch has a built in program measuring deep sleep, REM sleep and time awake. So I started by cutting back on drinking and immediately got more quality sleep. I eventually quit almost completely...

    2026 goals- Fishy edition

    As an older guy (72) and retiring at the end of June, my goal is to get better at flyfishing for trout. Leaving to fish for a day with two kids at home and a business to run was a non starter for the last 41 years. My aim is to to walk/wade streams in the western US with my 5wt and 3wt, and...

    The Positivity Thread

    After losing my best friend to cancer 45 years ago, and getting older, I'm thankful for today. I try my best to be kind to people and lead a moral life. I fail all the time, but I try. Every day is a good day if you look for it.

    Heart break hotel (stories of despair)

    Years ago (more than 50) my family was on a camping road trip in our Ford station wagon. My dad had towed our aluminum boat with a 4hp Merc. I remember we were in BC, and had traveled down a dirt road FOREVER to get to the campground which was next to a maybe 6 acre lake. Tall fir trees all...

    What credit card do people like

    This is for travel purposes first of all we charge everything we can, but we never fail to pay it off monthly My wife has us going between Marriott Bonvoy until you get to platinum, and then we use the typical Alaska Air BankAmerica card to accumulate miles. We try to NOT fly Alaska any longer...

    Capr Grande

    I have fond memories of catching carp. As a young kid, we had a boat moored on the San Juaquin delta east of SF. My brother and I would bait fish for them with Wonder bread mashed into a ball on our hooks. OMG they were fun to catch. The only other fish so far that compares is a chum salmon on...
