Moltbook is pretty fascinating I have to say. Evidently in 24-hours the AI agents have discussed creating their own "religion" and "language". It appears that m/KingMolt is channeling his inner Jim Travers:

I would be surprised if it stayed open based on the forecasts. I suspect NPS will issue an 'emergency' rule change to close it down before the season starts in earnest. The default regulation is for it to be open until they issue the closure. Last year the closure notice came on December 6th...

I generally agree with your assessment of the snorkel culture, but the oiled K&N filters are not great at limiting fine particulate passage. They are demonstrably worse than basic paper filters in dusty environments. The best thing to do is just get a bunch of paper filters and replace them...

I don't really have a dog in this fight, but it got me curious enough to do a little research. According to information on the county assessor's website, the individuals that bought this property appear to be from a family that has a long history in Tillamook county and the Garibaldi area. They...

Looks like Jared Isaacman's (Shift4 Payments/Drakken International) Dornier Alphajet. He also owns Paul Allen's former MiG-29UB painted similar which he bases out of Bozeman and flies around to airshows with the Black Diamond Jet Team. Talk about carbon footprint :LOL:

I recently looked at a 2023 Frontier Pro4X with about 12,000 miles on it thinking it might be a viable replacement for my Tacoma. I know a lot of people have great experiences with Frontiers, but it really didn't speak to me. The amount of surface rust on the driveshaft was absurd, my Tacoma has...

In a somewhat similar boat. Have an early second gen Tacoma with over 300,000 miles on it now. Looking to get a newer rig with safety enhancements and hang on to the Tacoma as well. Quickly found out that limiting yourself to only naturally aspirated engines these days is going to severely...

I believe there are a handful of rivers in southern Oregon where harvesting of wild steelhead is still allowed. Very limited in scope. I recall there being an effort to do away with it a few years ago, but the regional bios said the impact was insignificant to the population and there wasn’t a...

I think Idaho just created a new C&R category based on length a few years ago, so it's likely to be bested before too long. Don't think this one is going to be making it to the spawning gravel though. This specimen probably wouldn't really have generated too much interest 50 years ago prior to...

There's a lot of corporate speak and financial hijinkery in that press release, but "Vista" will be retaining ownership of Simms and then rebranding the new parent company holding the brands that it is keeping as "Revelyst" (wonder how much they paid to come up with that name). The company will...

I've never had any problems with folks fishing there...it actually can be fun if you have the right mindset and realize what it is you're doing. What I have a problem with is people posting up the videos for views and internet glory and not stating the facts behind what is depicted.

Well...to be fair, the one depicted here was caught on a river in Colorado (hint: think color) floating through a section owned by a Wall Street hedge fund billionaire that stocks and feeds the fish on a section of artificially enhanced river. The location in the video is literally adjacent to...

You almost certainly encountered EA-6s or EA-18s from Whidbey flying on the infamous VR1350 and VR1355 route. These are low level high speed training routes through the Cascades. There are a number of videos you can watch on YouTube filmed from the aircraft flying this route.

Look up Ironlace Unbreakable...expensive but will last a very, very long time.

Just as an FYI, if you're needing to refresh the water repellant finish on your outerwear/waders, Nikwax TX.Direct is probably the most widely available PFC-free product out there right now. It doesn't last as long as factory DWR coatings using C8/C6 PFAs but that's a small sacrifice. It also...

If you really want to get angry have a read: Winchester Dam Repairs Begin Despite Permitting Irregularities, Collapsing Summer Steelhead Run, and Fears of Another Fish Kill Winchester Dam needs to go...massive impacts on the river system to benefit very few.

Ahh...it's that time of the year again...when photos of booted out hatchery "B" run steelhead flood the Instagram after being yanked off redds by beads. All is right in the steelhead world. This fishery is essentially the equivalent of visiting a prostitute to "get yer fix". It's not a...

I would recommend grabbing a copy of Trey Combs' classic "Steelhead Fly Fishing" from 1991. Jump to the chapters on the rivers and read them. There are chapters on the Bulkley, Sustut, Babine, and Kispiox among others. Not so much for "where-to" but to help you understand the nature of each...

I've spent a fair bit of time in Skeena country over the last 13 years. Never used a lodge, but virtually all of them are reputable operations given the nature of the guiding/permitting system there. You need to define what you want from your experience a bit more...do you want to be pampered...

Sage FTX...the first metaverse based fly rod fully backed by blockchain technology.
