    Which booties for lightweight float tube hiking?

    Most of the time I use neoprene booties but they are a pain in the Butte Montana to remove after 8 hours of fishing. Not fun to walk in too. Recently started using an old pair of Crocs. 1 size larger than normal shoe size fits over waders and slides in easily in Force fins. Crocs also provide a...

    Poor Man's 8ft Hopper

    On my 7ft pram I use oars to push off shore and emergency propulsion. Knock on wood, I have never used them for emergency propulsion. Find yourself a 30lb thrust or less electric trolling motor and a LiPo4 battery + LiPo4 charger and a tiller extension kit so you can sit back in your cool new...

    Waders - The awesome, the bad, the leaky

    last month I purchased a pair of Dryft pant waders $399 to replace a 3 year old pair of Paramount waders. Apparently 40+ trips each year was too much for Paramount waders because the seams just gave out all at once. Real BUMMER because I really liked the discount waders. Light weight, easy to...

    Lil Lk of fun

    Bambooflyguy and I fished it a couple years ago chucking dries into hungry mouths into the pitch dark. Used Steves head lights to pack up our gear when the homeowner just showed up quietly walking up next to the truck. He asked us what were we doing? Steve quickly defused the moment and then we...

    Craig MT

    We attended Home coming last October watching CC play Colorado Rockies. CC fielded a seriously tough team. I was impressed. Last Kid is a sophomore this year. What a great place to attend college

    Craig MT

    I was in Helena first week of May picking up my last kiddo from college. Bounced over to Black Sandy Beach park about 45 miles downstream from Craig. First time to the Missouri's edge. No gear so I just watched dozens of fatties cruise the shallows sucking midges off the film. Returning in...

    That is so awesome. I am waiting for my granddaughter to say yes Papa lets go fishing. I keep prodding her but so far, she is saying no. Amazing job Grandpa.

    Lue I sure enjoyed fishing with you yesterday. You were definitely the man on the lake yesterday. Sharing fly info and out catching Steve and I. We would have never seen those fish without your input. Hope to see you again on the water soon.

    What have you done for your boat lately?

    My goodness, round trip to Mayfield Lake last year and they choose to blow up a year later at your home. Brian, Drop everything right now and please go purchase a Powerball ticket and a Lotto ticket. Stop at the casino on the way home and place a $1.00 bet on anything. Simply Amazing.

    What have you done for your boat lately?

    Wow Brian, how lucky can you get. I am amazed those bearings exploded when you could see home. Usually, they explode halfway into a trip of a lifetime. Drive anywhere and you see trailer skeletal remains shoved onto the right of ways. Costly repair but replacing the axle and hubs is a solid...

    Horsefly Strain Rainbow

    Thanks for sharing. Rowley always makes it look so easy. Seems like I aways something to learn from his videos. Like fish early spring to avoid those bothersome 4 engine mosquitoes commonly found in the Caribou.

    Nice evening on the local

    Great idea and I second it. Its way better than that horribly rotten no good for nothing four letter word. Tomorrow is FrankenKara day. Some exceptions but no reels allowed

    Nice evening on the local

    Battle Ground is definitely a great place to pad your numbers even if they are 2.70s. Like Steve says "little ones still count". Yes, it would be good to anchor up, cast and shoot Sh*t like we did last year.

    Nice evening on the local

    Thanks for sharing the pictures skyriver. I have not fished that lake yet this year but your pics brought back some amazing memories from last year. I hit Battle Ground lake last week for 2 days of crazy stocker fishing. Stocker truck pulled out 45 minutes before I arrived. Geee, I can't...

    Island trip

    2 years ago a DA blocked the ramp oh a East Renton Lake with his white F150 and trailered vinal 37 person POS raft. DA couldn't back the trailer in that even remotely resembled a straight line. Figured he was new to the sport of catching stockers since he brought his halibut gear. I waited...
