She was pretty awesome.

And another game in which we had an infield player take the mound as a relief pitcher. Next we’ll bring back John Mabry as a pitching coach!

Great report and dandy cutt! I need to get out and hit a beach down here. The overcast weather this weekend makes for great fishing weather, the tides this weekend not so much.

I haven't tried that. I was using @Evan B 's recipe. Do you think honey bees and bumblebees are attracted to the raw fish? I thought only predators from the wasp / hornet family would go after meat. I'm anxious to watch it and see what kind of activity I get. So far nothing, not even...

Checked the trail cam in the back wood last weekend and found we had a sturdy fellow visit us one Friday afternoon in July. Our dog also showed up in the camera about 40 minutes earlier, just missed him!

Been seeing a few yellow jackets while sitting out on the deck so I’m taking another run at the Filpronil Cocktail. The last attempt had limited success using canned tuna, so I dug out a 5 year old piece of salmon from the freezer and cubed it up. Put a half cup or so in a tuna can and dosed...

I found a few of my old versions in my summer steelhead box… they’re not nearly as elegant as yours and Rod’s. But I remember now I added a pink topping of Angel Hair to spice things up a notch.

Wow, amazing adventure and great telling of the story. Too bad about losing the bear. What cartridge were you using? Sounds like you made a great shot.

Very Nice.... thanks Mike!

That actually sounds about right, that 5wt OBS weighs in as a 6wt line, plus the sinking leader, it probably launched like a slingshot casting overhead! That fly is my favorite summer steelhead choice. I used to tie a version with a bit of extra flash for the Grand Ronde. I called it a...

Wow… So sorry to hear this. I hope all going forward goes as well as it can. It is good to hear that you have a place in MT you can base out of while you figure next steps. That must be some solace. All the best. Andy

Always inspired by @Stonedfish, I did some free styling at the vise with August September beach coho in mind.

Any of my Bauer Rogue reels, every time I peel line off one it brings a satisfying smile to my face. Just so silky smooth and solid feeling. I recently had to send one back to Bauer, due to some neglect on my part. I must’ve failed to properly rinse one of the Rogue 3s after beach fishing and...

I clicked expecting to see pics of a sweet new gun safe installed in your great room.

My wife often brings home (previously frozen) cod fillets from the Safeway meat counter. I like to just coat the pieces in Old Bay, (a heavy coating for mine and a lighter dusting for hers), followed by olive oil all over and then grilled quickly on a preheated hot grill. I would like to...

Nice. what did you do, go back in a bee suit and inject the nest with some powder?

Ouch - sounds like a sweet set up. Hope he gets it back!

I've had great luck using a Rio Outbound on switch rods. for my Batson / Forecast 10'6" 6wt (SH weight scale) I found it worked nice with an 8 weight Rio OB (the original 37' version). That was in the river, not the salt, but I wouldn't hesitate to try an 8 weight OBS on it in the salt. And...
