Just got back from Wallowa and had hoped to be able to give secret info to those who were kind enough to send me details of their trips but unfortunately my friends boat that we were going to fish...

I've been fishing for 64 years ( I was told I caught my first fish when I was 5 out of Putah Creek where Berryessa Reservoir is now) and there are some things that I strongly believe about the...

mrmike-"If you broaden your horizon and listen you can become a better fisherman I consider it a great day when I can learn something from another fisherman."

Great idea. Here's something worth...

Coming from Calif. be sure and check into getting your invasive species sticker and inspection at the border. Here's a link:

Thanks for the report. Even though you may not have come close to getting possession limits all around I hope you had fun. I'm starting to get excited about our July trip.

Most but not all.:cool: Once you get above 3,000' on the West coast, lots of places look like lots of places.
Paint Your Wagon was shot near Baker City, Oregon with filming beginning in May 1968 and...

When it was legal, I used a sliding top hook like SuperD shows for mooching and caught my share of Kings on it. You can cinch the snell on the top hook so tight you can't slide it without burning...

Nice going MackayGuy!
Whenever I'm in the piney woods and the wind blows I always think about Clint Eastwood in, "Paint Your Wagoin" singing "They Call The Wind Mariah." NO, I don't know any other...

Icates, no, not like a banana. Like a J plug or a Lyman plug. Take a look at a picture of them and just use a Dremel tool and a cylinder shaped cutter to do it. Get a sewing needle hot and melt the...

When you tie the knot on the front hook, if you decide to, make it so when the line goes through the eye it doesn't rub against the side of the eye where the wire ends as that will abrade it and can...

With cable steering the turning force on the steering wheel goes up as you tilt the motor down. If you were running it so the bow was cutting into the water instead of riding a little bow high, that...

This sounds like when Brook Trout get over populated and they get stunted. Everyone would be doing the fishery a favor by keeping their limit and not keeping any Lake Trout until the population gets...

OUCH! I guess we can always BBQ steaks and just appreciate the situation.

K_gal, I hope the weather is reasonable. I scheduled it later than prime time because of last years bad June weather. My week there will be perfect...if it was last year. 6" kokanee will be hard to...

Now you tell me! I've going for a week the beginning of July. I guess I'll bring a deck of cards.golucky

I bought glow paint and pigments from Herter's decades ago when it was still Herter's. Messing with stuff like this is fun on a rainy day. You can buy just the pigment powder at the below site and...

Glow paint phosphorescing in a useful way for 24 hours seems way too long. Look it up in Wkipedia for a good description of the subject.

The two I've got are hammered chrome and beg for a strip or strips of outrageous tape.

SD you and I are getting to an age where we remember parts of stuff but not quite all of it. I said Big Al dodgers but it's an Abe and Al dodger I was thinking of. I take comfort in getting to an age...

All right! One positive experience. Any more?

I was going through my dodger pack and once again came across a couple of kokanee sized Big Al style rotating dodgers that I've never used. I also found a plastic watermelon dodger that has a fin...

I was about to say what SuperD just said. I use a bar on my big boat and put it on when I launch and take it off when I retrieve the boat at the end of the trip. If you rig it right all it does is...

If you decide to drag a bucket from one side of your boat to slow yourself down further it can cause interesting steering issues...as in it will turn easily in one direction but not so easily in the...

One last observation about mounting tanks on swim steps or other places outside of the boat. They will be soaked with water. If on the ocean, salt water. Water being in fuel supplies is already...

Yes, fumes would be an issue but that's why there is a fan on the I/O engine compartment. The fan is to vent gasoline fumes from the engine and would also vent fumes from any tank mounted within that...
