Got out for a few hours again this evening. Weather dropped 20 degrees in the past two days, making it a little more tolerable out there. Still warm enough for wet wading.
Do I get a prize for the tiniest fish? A Dundee or something?
Gotta experiment with that. I am going to try sitting on the cross piece behind them. Or, the doors come off easily with two pins, so if I have to, I can stow them up front and put them on once I am where I want to be and set up. This will be an iterative design experience.
I've been duck hunting for two seasons now, almost exclusively from a kayak. I bought this H10 partway through last season, and toward the end of the season, I finally got into taking decoys and the like. I decided to get serious about my hide this year. Modified the doors off a $25 Craigslist...
Elk hair caddis has been my best fly this summer too. Haven't switched to anything else for months and haven't needed to. I fished a high mountain lake Monday and those snobby lake fish would swim up and look at the fly, sniff it, and turn away. But not those stream fish. They only have a split...
Love this! I got interested in tenkara fishing over the winter and picked it up. Turns out there are trout in most of the tiny streams flowing from the mountains near my home. Streams I wouldn't have ever considered fishing previously. Now they provide hours of fun and adventure within minutes...
When I bought my 06 Forester eight years ago, they had just redone the head gaskets. That was a major selling point for me, as it seemed inevitable that would need to be done at some point. She's been super reliable for me, and she is one stealthy meat packer. There is a cow elk, two whitetail...
Congrats, Buzz. Looks like a great time and some delicious fish. I went fishing in Alaska for the first time about a month ago. We fished out of Ketchikan. Had a great time and I have been looking at different options to start going back. Where did you fish out of? Kodiak?
This is true for some units but not all. Just check the regs to be sure if it applies to your unit. I have been lucky enough to take a cow on a control tag on a few of my muzzy deer hunts. Has become one of my favorite hunts.
Dexter Russell. It's about the only one you see at fish docs and with people that fillet hundreds of fish each day. I got one to fillet a few dozen salmon last week in Alaska. Gave my electric one away when I got home.
I have that scope on my 300 wm and on my 50 cal muzzleloader. Zero issues for me. I had the bullet chasing issue several years back with a different scope. Turned out the scope mounts were loose.
That is one of my favorite places on earth. About every six months I ask my wife if she is ready to move there. I'm like 0 for 27, but I will keep asking. Persistence = success.
