LL Bean, Cabellas, and a lot of other companies sell beginner outfits in 5wt with line and a reel for $ 100, or less

A spectacular reference book. It should be in every tier's library.

The one and only time I successfully landed a Muskie was on the Tahquamenon River in the UP of Michigan. I spent three days throwing about every Muskie fly known to man without success. Muskie are truly not one of a fish of a thousand casts, but one of a fish of ten thousand casts. Very...

I have a 14 ft. Sportspal/Radisson canoe. It weighs 38 pounds and has a 750lb capacity. I load/unload it myself from the rack on top of my Tacoma. Very stable in the water as well. I also have a motor mount and with a 30lb trolling unit it goes like mad. Plus, its a hell of a lot cheaper &...

Another great dog story: https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/paws-of-war-national-pet-day-soldiers-reunited-with-rescue-dogs-long-island/

Here is one more dog story (no paywall) https://www.orangecountycouplescounseling.us/orange/0a931167aka50/

Great dog tribute https://www.almendron.com/tribuna/dogs-are-our-greatest-creation-and-we-might-be-theirs/ This was a WAPO OPED last week, but I found it on line today with no paywall!!

I guess if you are fishing with a $1,000 waders, $1,500 rod, $300 boots and flies that you bought at the shop for $ 4 each maybe $200 for a fly line doesn't seem so out of order. I wouldn't pay it (shout out to Cortland!!), but then again, I am a cheap & old bastard.

I know this is behind a paywall, but others seem to have a way around and some PNW papers pick up the story as well This appears to be an update to previous WAPO article that I posted a while back https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2024/04/25/california-grizzly-bear-extinct-reintroduce/

For $ 180 it better come with some free sex offering

Another reason to always carry a wading staff/spear

If I didn't live 3,000 miles away the boat would be hooked up to my Tacoma and taken home

Seems to me this has been covered before:

I watched the eclipse outside of St. Johnsbury VT at Dog Mountain. It is a 150-acre piece of land dedicated to dogs and has a memorial chapel. The walls/ceilings of the chapel are covered with messages from people who have lost their dogs. Very moving, almost makes you cry to read some...

I was in Northern VT. Spectacular event! Traffic was beyond awful to get back home to NH. Poor planning on my part, so for next New England Eclipse in May of 2079 I will have thought out better logistics.

Try Harbor Freight. I have several of their "tactical" lights with lumens greater than 800 and one about 1,500. They use standard batteries as well. Their prices are much cheaper than the "manly" brands. I have a Maglight which was issued to me from work. It is no better than the HF brand...

I hate the late Carrie Stevens for developing that pattern for Salmon in Maine. I find it a real pain to tie, but as it "works" I find that I must tie some up every year. Dave McPhail's video is the "standard" for tying the Ghost. If you ever find yourself in the Rangely Maine area, be...

Royal Coachman, Royal Wolffe, and Trude are good standard flies to keep in any box as they catch fish
