The ultimate measure of both coolness and utility.

Yeah, but coho and corn taste like dogshit.

That's TWO DAVES, flat gettin' it done! I need a new name....

Heathens! Fools! Oh, well. More for you and me!

Duuuude! Keep it down, Bro!

I thought I was the only one who knew about the trophy bass in Soap Lake!

This points out the biggest risk with Internet-fed AIs: They make decisions, like an analyst does, based on data trends. If you feed an AI enough misinformation, it can be convinced to provide wrong answers to important questions. And what is the Internet (much as we love it) absolutely full of?

Buy (or make) a couple Wicked Lures. The "trout killer" size will probably be your best bet. Fish them behind enough lead to get you in the zone. A lot of Mayfield seems to be surprisingly shallow, so you might not need more than an ounce or so, and you could probably use inline weights, which...

Google gave me a dry fly Spey leader formula that worked great a couple weeks back! It's okay to tell the world the how; the where (and sometimes when) is what we need to protect. Fishing the wrong water effectively yields less success than fishing the right water like a hack 9/10... or is it...

I forgot to mention a scenario where these projects could actually do more harm than good (for salmon anyway): Harvest seasons are planned based on estimated returns minus escapement for a given fishery. If assumptions are made that opening up this habitat will produce a certain number of...

These culvert projects, generally speaking, are the "right thing" to do. There's no question we have destroyed or cut off access to a LOT of anadromous spawning habitat with non-present and non-functional culverts. No doubt, if we're to recover (or even sustain) wild fish populations, the...

My tolerance for increasing costs on tying materials is apparently infinite. Once I find something I like that doesn't have a lot of great alternatives, I'll apparently pay anything. I suppose I'll go broke at some point, and that should slow me down. It's even worse for gear fishing these...

Great way to promote more sustainable fisheries in the dog days.

Bummer. Back to Earth for the US team and fans. Not much went right tonight, but Belgium looked like the better team, start to finish. US Soccer has come a long way, but there's still at least one more long way to go before they can compete for a championship. Was fun to watch for sure...

Florida. Have been to Europe and Mexico, but no fishing (it was a sad, misguided chapter in my life). Want to go just about every point abroad named in the thread but probably will only make a few, which is fine; the American West is still pretty awesome for a trout bum at heart.

I went full digital. I am concerned that login is going to be an issue in the field (when you really need it), but we'll see. I like that catch reporting has all the catch codes listed with their locations. I harvest less than a dozen fish a year, so I don't remember catch codes very well. I...

Best fishing (and scenery) is generally in the Flaming Gorge sections. I usually wet wade it and stay reasonably comfortable. Best plan seems to be to fish the AM until it gets hot and the bugs slow down, go get lunch and a nap, then head back late afternoon to fish the evening hatches. One of...

No other fans of Louisiana hot sauce here? I adore the stuff. It's like Tabasco with less kick and tastes good on almost anything. Beats the pants off Frank's for wing sauce. I really like the "Crystal" brand... I also really like Asian chili sauces, with Sambal being my probable favorite. As I...

I think it's safe to say we're all pulling for you. Here's hoping round 2 is at the swap "meat!"

I could be happy living in that fire tower. Seriously. Did you have full access to the snow cat?
