    Taking down animals

    I’m pretty sure the turtle always wins that race, at least that’s what I was raised to believe. Slow and steady.

    Personal Protection

    DimeBrite nailed it. The news is centered around fear and bad news, as it gets better viewership than positive news. There are definitely situations which call for more than pepper spray, but I think the tone of the responses on this thread is spot on.

    NFR crazy....

    Scary stuff. I love a good conspiracy, but US FDA regulations are designed for the benefit of the producer, not the end user.

    Run Etiquette

    Etiquette in general is a thing of the past and common courtesy requires common sense. I haven’t run into an issue on the water in a long time and I think that attitude is the biggest reason why. I also don’t fish particularly popular/accessible spots. Also might just be because I don’t steelhead?

    New Laptop

    I’ve always purchased the best Intel processor I am willing to afford, which is alway a model or 2 removed from the latest and greatest. I haven’t had any bad experiences with other manufacturers, but years ago a programmer friend swore by them and they haven’t let me down. The other components...

    Adjusting to a fast action rod

    Practice with different rods… makes all the difference in the world. Also, an upcoming tropics trip will make you want to dial in your casting accuracy and double haul.

    Recommendations on 2 Weight

    As a former ultralight addict I would go glass. If the locking reel seat is not a deal breaker, Cabela’s CGR 2wt had me contemplating selling all of my 1s, 0s and 000. It is more capable that I would have ever guessed. And it just wants to throw tight loops. Find an in expense DT or triangle...

    Simms roll top waist pack

    OPST makes the exact same pack as the old Simms roll top and it is one of the more reasonable waterproof packs out there. I blew the seams on the same Simms pack and after inquiring with them about their warrantee I am no longer a customer. I moved on to fishpond products as they seem to take...

    October destination?

    Thanks for alil the responses. I am open to almost any type of fish/location with a couple of caveats; 1. No Spey casting. 2. Alaska Air, if flying. 3. If driving, has to be within 5 hours (my car had some issues this summer whenever the day of driving hit 6+ hours). Budget is “reasonable” I am...
