I have a baby girl on the way basically any day now. We have been tossing names around for months and months and really struggling with kid #2. Looking for some inspiration especially PNW and outdoor themes. Extra credit for a winning name starting with B. Let's see what you got!

Long overdue report, been a busy few weeks after. Had a backcountry river float on the Goodnews River in late August/early September. SW Alaska had been getting hammered with rain. We showed up and learned no flights had gone out for two days which led to seeing way more of Bethel than we hoped...

My trip is fast approaching. We are doing 7 days on the Goodnews River starting 8/27. I started a thread a while back asking about flies (link) and posts about lines etc and got some good suggestions from @Eastside @BN2FSH @SculpinSwinger @Matt B @O' Clarkii Stomias @Creatch’r among others I'm...

My buddy recently got a boat and is wanting to get his kids in to some fun, easy, fast paced fishing. I recommended he just bounces the bottom for some of the regular by catch that is so common. I haven't done much gear fishing here, so when pressed further I couldn't provide many more details...

It's a topic we go over and over in the saltwater forum. Hoping we can collect our thoughts on all our old favorites, the latest and greatest, what rods they work well with, clear or not, sink rates, taper and head length, grain weights and whether to upline or not, features we like or dislike...

Looking for recommendations for medium to large fly boxes to load up for a 7 day river float in AK. I have something like 200 flies tied up that need homes. The majority are decent size flies like #1 and #2 bunny strip leeches and similar. The boat bag I was planning to take isn't big enough for...

Looking for a newer 7wt rod (prefer 9 or 9’6”) for throwing streamers. Preference is for fast modern models in the mid to high end range but will consider medium fast and lower end models too. Here is a list of a few models I’d be interested in (not all inclusive). If you have something you...

Narrowing in on some needs so editing original post. Looking for a floating streamer or integrated head shooting line in 7 and 8 wt. Something like an Airflo Streamer/40+ or SA Titan/Titan Long, Rio Big Nasty/OBS, Ambush, etc.

Getting ready for a River float in AK this summer and I need to get a line or two as I’m outfitting my father-in-law and myself and most of my gear is for saltwater. Think big and heavy mostly with fast rods. Streamers, dead drifting flesh flies, mouse patterns. Would also be nice to have...

I'm starting to tie for a DIY trip on the Goodnews River in Alaska in late August. I've done some reading and have some recommendations from a buddy that's fished up there some, but I'd love to hear some suggested patterns for this trip. We'll be fishing for grayling, trout, char, and coho as we...
