    A River Runs Through It: 50-year anniversary (NY Times Musing)

    Well, the piece was written by Monte Burke, who I think knows a bit more than diddly. And I'll admit I've never gotten through more than a few pages of Walton but understand he was pretty much a bait guy.

    What you watching. 😆

    The books are way better. That said, I think this season of the Netflix version was pretty good.

    Bauer/Cork

    Great response by Bauer. My M4, twenty six years on, is my favorite reel. Cork still good, but glad to see they’ll still take care of a problem if and when that may come.

    Simms Warranty

    Well, the warranty was only for “the life of the product.” When it falls apart the life of the product was obviously over. Gotcha!

    Washington fishing guide book recommendations

    As suggested by its title, limited in geographic scope, but there's Doug Rose's "Fly-Fishing Guide to the Olympic Peninsula" (2008). I don't know whether it's still in print.

    Los Barriles-DIY Trip

    Was recently there, just a one night non-fishing visit. A terrific catch of the day grilled fish dinner at Smokey’s. Not much else I can say other than I liked the locale and hope I get there again, maybe even with a bit of fishing as well.

    Building Tension Spooling Backing to Reel?

    I take a large book, run the backing between the pages, and then stack weight on the book as needed to get the amount of tension desired. Works fine.

Dropped it off in Bainbridge Monday afternoon, received a replacement rod by fed ex this afternoon (Thursday). About this time last year I had a problem with a Rio running line - replacement promptly...

    Puget Sound

    Walking the beach this morning, not fishing, puzzled to see #53 USS John Paul Jones apparently under tow, heading east into Admiralty Inlet. What’s up with that?

    Attaching Fly Line to Backing (Welded Loop?)

    In my opinion/experience the perfection loop is great in mono at leader butt diameters, but very weak at say about 15lb on down. From there on down go double surgeons, if not triple. Never tried a perfection in backing, and don’t plan to. For backing I’d say triple surgeons or bimini.
