I got to go to the Pacific side, around Tamarindo, back in '08. I was an 8th grader at the time. We did go on a charter but didn't catch much of anything. I was really hoping for some kind of billfish or roosterfish. This time we're going to the Caribbean which does have a completely different...

We're headed down for two weeks at the end of September. Curious if anyone has fishing advice they'd like to share for this area on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. This is a family trip, not a fishing trip, but I'll be bringing my 9wt and a bunch of baitfish patterns for sure. Not much in the...

It can get wild in there for sure. Glad you guys were able to get a ride...one of the few times being in the backseat of a cop car doesn't suck :p

Love the familiarity with smaller bands. A lot of the bands I love end up at the same venues with the same attendees every year...to the point where they start recognizing you. It's pretty special to be able to have conversations with people who create art that moves you. I like a lot of...

The wife and I have tix to see Rise Against and Senses Fail this Friday in Spokane. Its been far too long since I've got in the pit to do some moshing. Senses Fail were the first hardcore band I ever saw...I remember my first time seeing them in 2010, driving down to Portland as a 10th grader...

Played in a local charity golf scramble tournament on Saturday morning...my foursome shot even par, the winning team shot -4. Clearly our "mean mugging" did not intimidate the other teams into submission 🤣 Went out for post round beers and one of my buddies talked me into floating the river...

Well it ended up being very slow fishing. One bull trout about 10" for 10 miles of river. We hammered the eddies and holding water every spot we could with sink tips and all manner of streamers. It just wasn't happening. Beautiful float as always though.

These flows have been killing me....the annual "river is open, but too high to fish" suffering has been extended far too long. My river is fishable at 5000 CFS but still not primo. Doesn't matter...my cousin is coming over this weekend, we're gonna tie on the sink tips and the big meat, get the...

Different day, but same spot. So many places they'll hold in this section. And not too many people target cutties in that neck of the woods.

I've dreamed of catching a Kenai king for a long time. I remember my Dad telling me about going for a guided trip there in the 90s. He said the awe and mystery was kind of ruined for him when the sun came up and he could see the golden arches of McDonalds right by the river and surrounded by...

A little bit of modern punk for me this morning. I saw these guys open for one of my favorite bands and have been following them since. My wife is going to see them live this Wednesday while I have to stay home and work 😭.

There's just something downright sexy about a well organized fly box, especially nymphs. Well done!
