    Alsea Float Question

    Low water will make the channel so narrow that it forces you into tight spots. Here’s a problem you’ll face, for example, right out of the gate above Hayden bridge. The main current will likely be pushing against the left cut bank (as usual), but it’ll be very narrow, bordered by a vigorous...

    NBA 2025-26

    As a Philly fan and de facto NY sports hater, it pains me to say … go Knicks. They’ve cooked up some very special sauce this post-season.

    NBA 2025-26

    The Celtics should be winning handily, This last win had 8 lead changes and was within 1 possession for most of the second half. It was far from a dominating performance but a win nonetheless.

    I don’t think there’s a foul there. In the world of chair pulling, this was as mild as it gets. Mostly Wemby a little out of control

    They were national announcers? I could only watch the highlights of the Celtics-76ers game, but could’ve swore that the announcers were on the Celtics payroll. Kinda got a bit of that vibe from the Blazers game, too

    NBA 2025-26

    It wasn’t an upset for 76ers or Trailblazers fans! In fact, I’ll take ALL these wins in the interest of good sport, just not sure how many more are coming.

    10wt rod shopping

    The recently discontinued 10 wt Predator has power almost similar to the 9 wt Boost Blue, the latter being one of the more powerful 9 wts I’ve thrown …. not an unmanageable beast, but a real performance stick. The Predator suits a more average casting stroke

    Good News/Bad News

    Based on recent events, he is more likely doing it to spite a Canadian company (Northern Dynasty) or is otherwise looking to gain an upper hand. Whatever the reason, I hope it sticks.

    OP Steelhead are not Endangered

    Wild broodstock fish are more hassle to propagate than traditional hatchery fish, but this study was all wild broodstock. It compared 2 wild broodstock collection methods: angler-caught vs terminal-caught. In Oregon, ODFW allows certain guides to collect wild broodstock while fishing. This...

    Echo Rod Nomenclature

    I have both in 9 wt. The original “x” has a slightly stiffer tip than the revised Ti version. The difference is subtle, but noticeable if one geeks out on that sort of thing. The two tips are interchangeable (re: ferrule fit) on the second sections.

    OP Steelhead are not Endangered

    I agree that ESA listing helps, but for Oregon coho, the cessation of commercial harvest has been a *big* reason for their recovery (in addition to habitat improvements and less hatchery and mixed-stock fisheries)
