    My new custom Tunerfish 12wt just arrived

    Well I like it. I am curious how he cut it down 6” if he left all 4 pieces equal length. I don’t build rods, so maybe this is easier math than I figure. Only thing I can imagine is that he took all 6 inches off the butt, which is probably fine. So you’re “bucktailing” tuna, & sometimes casting...

    More Than a Year Later….

    Thanks. One of life’s lessons: spend quality time with those you love, while you can.

    More Than a Year Later….

    I watched the 1st third before I had to stop, and will finish today or tomorrow. It reminds me of a failed desire to organize a salmon (charter) trip with my father and older brother. I thought about it but then my brother got sick and never recovered. And my dad shortly after became pretty...

    NFR What Are You Reading

    I read that book maybe a year ago. An amazing story about a fearless woman. Well worth the read!

    With my kids, we often have 3 dogs here. The pup is a Silken Wind Hound, and he’s a cagey thief. Always aware of any food on the counter and who’s watching. I call him the Muffin Man, and yes, for that score. It was gone in a flash.

    Float Tube Flippers

    I used to be an avid diver and was very familiar with the local dive shops including Underwater Sports here in Seattle. When gearing up for float tube fishing, I stopped into US and lo and behold they had a pair of Force Fins. The salesman, assuming I was intending to dive with them, said they...

    THAT is a funny story. He’s thinking “Otis, you got some ‘splainin to do.” And then you were gone. I’d bet my head he still remembers too.

    My story is very similar to u2ng although I didn’t smoke straights often. Close to 30 years back I decided that I’d had my fun with “look goods” and that if I was ever going to quit, now was the time. Fortunately, I’ve never wanted one again.

    Awesome Dogs of PNW

    My guy is a terrific truffle hunter. He only marks their position to come back later for the dig. Walking with Rio is not an aerobic exercise. He finds truffles every 100 feet.

    Introducing MyFlyVise.com - BETA Phase

    Evan, just wanted to thank you for putting this new feature together. I truly enjoy seeing the flies our members are putting out there. Inspirational enough that I just might have to clean up my FT table and tie up some shrimps. It’s a drastic move though, being the repository of overwhelming...

    Awesome Dogs of PNW

    We’ve had Labs in the past, and the tennis ball had a life expectancy of a few hours. Squeaky toys being similar. Now our Toller is 8, a smaller dog (similar to a Border Collie) with what you’d think to be a more delicate mouth. That is deceiving. That tennis ball is crushed in minutes. Squeaky...

    Any current info on the Cle Elum river near Suncadia?

    “We know the toothbrush was invented in Roslyn. Anywhere else and it would be a teeth brush.” Sorry if this is an old joke. I was deeply involved in the Suncadia development.

    SFR Losing Interest

    For a long time my perfect day was 18 holes of golf, fishing for a few hours, and cocktails with friends. I still golf frequently (trying to reach single digits), maybe have a cocktail or two, and enjoy making something interesting for dinner. Fishing has waned but I need to work on getting out...

    Truffle hunter! My boy just likes to “mark” the location (so we can dig later ;-).

    I camped near Arches in Utah early Spring in 1975. Up early scouting around I found a very light green scorpion, skooched it on to a flat rock to show my pals. Fortunately it was cold out so it wasn’t very active. Later, attending a nature talk at the info center, the ranger was asked about...
