The fly, I mean wasp, looks really good. The only comment i would have is that the rubber legs look a little thick for the size of the fly. I am sure the fish will not worry about that too much, but...

I have 15, 4 gallon pots with tomatoes of various types, 10, half whiskey barrels with carrots, onions, lettuce, and cabbage, 20 zuchinni plants in the ground, and at least 50 pea plants in hanging...

Am i to understand some of your comments right, in that you all support the killing of the sealions in an effort to protect salmon and steelhead?

Having guided myself in the past, the best thing you can do to "get back at em" is to make sure the client knows his guide is a rude A##HOLE. Clients do not usually tip A&&HOLES. Hit the guide where...

Kerry,

It is funny that hooking a lost fish through a swivel has happend before to other people. I remember another time down at Ship Creek, this time i rode my bick 5 miles to fish, another...

Music, what an interesting topic. I listen to most of my music in my truck on the way camping or fishing, as dont have a very long commute to work. It mainly consists of The Offspring, Metallica,...

That is an interesting story. I have caught quite a few smallies on the Grand Ronde, and they are a hoot, so i can see them moving into and up the D. Too bad, as the best fly i found for them was a...

Lotech,

Just listen to the guy rowing the boat. The guy on the oars is looking ahead for fishy water, while you are busy paying attention to your flies. The rower should let you know of good...

To me, the debate should not be if it we did cause global warming, or if it is a natural event. Besides, this is not a "one or the other" kind of question, as the truth is likely in the middle. What...

I am responding not so much to be included in a poll, but to pass along an offer i have made here in the past. There was a post here not much more than a year ago offering to take returning veterans...

I proposed to my wife in our drift boat. I had a custom made #6 done up for her, and gave it to her that morning. After dropping the anchor to tie on a new fly for her, I tied on the ring and told...

Besides the fishing, what aspects of fly fishing do u enjoy?

It has to be the sense of understanding and observing nature, and following my observations with logic and past experience to determine...

MF,

You ask who fishes where there are bears and do you take protection? My answer is yes to both questions. I live in Washington State and there are bears in most of the places i fish. I can...

I will always walk with the rod behind me for the above mentioned reasons. And i will always keep it strung for the same ones mentioned above, and for one other reason. I returned to my truck with...

Being a relativly newcomer to boats, I have witnessed the missing plug at least 4 different times while launching or taking out. I have to say however that the funniest thing i have seen at the dock...

Escaped atlantic salmon have already been recorded in over 80 rivers in British Columbia, and even in the Copper River in Alaska. Not adults running upriver to spawn, but alevins and smolt from...

As i am in the process of drying out a bucktail, i have to guess that the one you have was not dried properly. My brother in law was able to take a nice deer this Thanksgiving, and gave me the whole...

PaGuy,

Dont forget to take a few egg sucking leeches along with you. I have had times where the trout have seen and eaten so many eggs, they are very reluctant to take an egg patter. However,...

I have made a bodkin, a whip finisher, a dubbing spinning tool, and a bobbin. The bobkin was easy, the whip finisher construction technique same as above, and in similar fastion, the dubbing spinning...

There seems no limit to the appetite of a fly eating tree. I was always told that if you have to worry about loosing a fly in the trees, you should have bought/tied more. Retreiving the fly usully...

Ron took the words right out of my mouth. It is amazing what peaple will do when they know that you cannot be armed. Another good reason to practice your constitutional rights. Having seen the...

Fishy Guts,

Fished Yellowjacket creek on saturday, not far from where you were at. We did pretty good with stone fly adults, but the bite went south after 4PM. Broke out the muddler minnows and...

Oh my goodness, the wife and I just named our boat "Cause of Divorce"! That is too funny.

Jim,

Perhaps a speed event. Provide maraboo, hackle, chenille and a hook and see who can tie a couple of wooly buggers the fastest. This can be done in heats, so that you have a bunch of little...

I dont have a computer at home, so my only problem is getting FAOL off of my screen when the boss comes around!
