30# pyramid anchor for me on my clackacraft. It holds fine in...never had an issue with it. I've parked in the river on slower water but mostly toss it onto shore over a root ball, large rock, into the grass, or something similar.
After careful review of your request to break away, we are pleased to grant your requested time off. We encourage you to take a full two days. Thank you for your understanding.
Now we’re talking! And I’ve got room for two in my drift boat if needed. We could get a handful of people into camp.
I’d love to do the warm springs stretch for once without all the salmonfly traffic on the river. Unfortunately, that’s almost the only time I head up there.
Edited from the original post:
Looks like I’ve got 1-2 former Westfliers that can make the weekend of 9/2 work. Kind of a leave after work Friday or early Saturday situation. At least one night. Still discussing a bike up from the mouth or bringing boats and floating up river. Could be a...
Ugh, I’m sorry to hear. This sounds so difficult.
I went through all the cabinets and we only have unopened packages of Tylenol. My youngest has a potential allergy to ibuprofen so we rarely have it on hand. Unsure if this helps but I’ll keep an eye out at the store first thing tomorrow...
Throwing this out there…
If anyone needs Childrens Tylenol for a sick kid or grandkid, let me know. I had a super sick kiddo last year and we ended up with a few extra unopened packages I believe. I’ll need to triple check if it’s all still in the medicine cabinet.
Or maybe even just put out...
I think part of the subconscious motivation to post here might have something to do with the whole downward spiral situation.
Feeling very fortunate with life - no complaints - but the job to career to priority dynamic has absolutely evolved over the last 20-30 years. I used to eat sleep and...
This is an incredible reminder. I have almost zero days where I regretted the choice to go fishing. Even in the craziest sideways rain/wind/hail storms.
I’ve got one lightening storm that still scares me to this day!! But I think that was an anomaly.
The point about a fishing buddy makes...
After a chaotic Fall full of work, sports, family, and volunteer stuff…I can FINALLY break away tomorrow to go fishing. But man, I’m feeling a pretty severe lack of motivation.
I’ve got the Deschutes in my sights for Sunday. Maybe stretching it out to 2-3 days would make it feel more...
I have them in my boots...Simms and Korkers. Yet to lose a screw so I'm wondering if you got a size too small? I'll see them wear down and need to replace them when they round off but that's about it.
If I were drunk, not that I'm drunk, but a drunk man could've read this as: "flyfisherman catches steelhead on weeds."
Mostly because I usually only scan through things on this site really quick and then look at the pictures. And all I see is a steelhead sized fish that was caught on riverside...
Ah, shit...thank you for sharing and I'm sorry to hear that. I knew Don well through his shop. I worked in an office park just a short walk away from his store, and for many years, that was my lunch break. Had similar experiences to others in terms of his generosity. And if you look through...
Just took a close look and my first aid kit is depleted, outdated, and needs to be beefed up. Anyone have recommendations on must have stuff for when first responders are hours to miles away? If you see an online kit that looks good feel free to call it out.
