Don't use it on mine . . . either in the holster folded, hanging free in the current, or in my hand.

Agree = wish I'd hung on to a few. I sold all mine but would really like to have my Michael&Young custom 8150 back, if only because of all the memories it was a part of on the Thompson river. :(

Always follow the money. IMO this doesn't have a chance because of the financial impact it would have on Oregon business. It's just a feel good exercise for the PETA folks so they can preach their message.

Jimmy the Thumbless :D

An easy anchor for a packraft is 20' of light nylon rope and a small mesh sack. You can buy em or make em. Get to the lake and fill it with a few rocks and you're good to go! My 6lb Alpacka Llama has several anchor points that I use when the wind is blowing so I can stay oriented to the...

To prove that there's no limit to the crazy levels WDFW go to - theyTRUCK Chinook over Sunset Falls on the South Fork Skykomish and then close the river to protect them. Seems pretty clear that river fishermen are at the bottom of their priority list.

I think you answered your own question. Put some exorbitantly priced gas in your rig and head south. All the PS rivers are screwed. :(

Yes, the rod in the video is a TFO. Based on the logo it's an older model, most likely one of the Pro series. They have quite a few 11' switch rods up to 8wt. Flip Pallot was a TFO ambassador for quite some time and designed several saltwater focused single hand rod series.

You might want to consider trying something like Euronymphing line. . . basically 3wt level floating flyline (similar in diameter to spey running line) with 10 to 15' of fluoro on the end. That might make hooksetting and line management a bit easier. I like the idea of tying innovative fly...

Euronymphing for Bass . . I like it!!!

Most 7wt switch rods I've tried have responded well to lines in the 400 - 490gr range. It will depend on how long the line is and the taper. One example is the 11' 7wt TFO Deer Creek, it does really well with a 450gr Skagit line and T10 tips up to 12'. As others have mentioned, I don't...

Damn Billy, I was just about to get the bassin' gear ready and then you go and post a report like that. Awesome stuff, it's nice when a lengthy slog gets you into some nice fish. Were you throwing that jig on a flyrod? If so, what weight was the jighead?

Hi Robert, just saw this. I'll snap some pics tomorrow. :)

They have those built commercially as well - called Topperlift.

I do like that Moonlander X, really nice. I have the Project M on my '24 Tundra and am still happy with it. It costs about twice as much, but it has solar panels and a charging station, a full king sized bed (slideout), a remote control fan with multiple speeds that can be set to suck air in...

Stick it in your ear - if it eats your brain it will prove you're right. ;)

I own that same SRB raft and frame and it's an awesome raft for 2 people. If it's in decent shape 1500 is a steal!

I'm' retired now but gotta laugh at the "government employees are union which makes cutting the fat neatly impossible" I don't know about the rest of govt., but at King County it was nearly impossible to keep the staff necessary to provide the services demanded by KC residents. Whether...

I've gone thru several and you'll probably be surprised what's prowling around your backyard @ night. First bought a Browning but it crapped out after 6 months. The one I have now I bought off Amazon based on reviews. Decided I wanted one that had a solar panel for charging, the one I bought...

You can also set the phone on Airplane Mode and turn off Bluetooth and other optional functions to extend battery life. You can still use the camera as well as have the app open for license verification and the battery will last for days. Get one of those little power paks that also doubles...
