    Non-Fly Power Pro Color

    For whatever reason I've always gravitated to either moss green or onyx, but I never really thought why. I've spent a total of 3.5 minutes thinking about it and can't think of any reason why different colors would benefit a certain situation. Does the color matter to you?

    Bass'n With the Kids

    Got out on the water a few times over the weekend with the kids. This was our annual 'lake house' trip we take every summer, so fishing isn't the primary activity - but I take the kiddos out for 15-20 minute shifts in the evening and they fish from the dock sporadically throughout the day...

    It's Crabbing Time

    One of the things I love about the PNW is the summer crabbing season. There's something about cracking crab fresh out of the Salish on a summer evening with a group of friends or family that's hard to beat. I think the true beauty of crabbing is that it's passive 'fishing'. You get to head...

    First Hike With the Boy - "Hopeless Lake"

    Took the oldest on his first backpacking trip last weekend. He's 10, so felt like it was time to get him up into the woods (a bit over due if im being honest). He'd done a few day hikes before, but nothing overnight. So i was wanting to do something relatively short, but with a pretty good...
