    Fly Fishing

    And you're a Duck... Thinking about the Owyhee in March for the Skawala hatch if I can break away. If nothing else the Camp Water on the NU fishes good for winter fish in March and breakfast at Steamboat Inn is always a treat... I'm sure we'll run into each other somewhere. Do you ever go to...

    Fly Fishing

    Definitely not technical, but very visual. Trying to get a predator to eat a bit of feathers, fluff and foam when he would really rather nibble on you is kind of like fishing for your cat. It does take on an air of seriousness when you hook the cat and he is bigger than you, crazy fast, jumps (a...

    Whats below a rookie? That's where I'm starting in night sky photography

    @Ryan Barnes has boiled the whole subject down and hit all the main points perfectly. Well done. Wish I would have know all that when I tried shooting the stars this past summer. The recommendation for a sturdy tripod is paramount. I sometimes will attach a sandbag to mine if there is a breeze...

    Fly Fishing

    Sounds like a great adventure. Doesn't look like you're heading through Oregon, so I can't help you much there, but when you make it to San Diego you might want to consider chasing Makos for a day or two. It's not the cheap seats, but it is a blast. My friend, Conway Bowman is the guy you want...

    It's that old life, lemons and lemonade thing. You'll remember that adventure for years and forget those uneventful excursions. Sent from my iPad using OB Talk

    Fly Fishing

    They're threatening us with an ice storm today. Sent one staff member home as he has to transverse the Columbia Gorge influenced frozen tundra. I'm hanging in till the UPS driver gets here. I've got a rod on there that is heading to Tera del Fuego tomorrow, if it gets here. Kind of looks like...

    Fly Fishing

    Fished the coast yesterday for Steelhead. Rivers are low, cold and clear. That is about to change.... Pineapple Express is bringing warm rain to the NW and we have a bunch of low level snow waiting to melt away... time to build an ark.

    Fly Fishing

    No worries! I have plenty of intel to share. Mostly Steelhead chasers up here, but we do have some good Trouty stuff on the east side and down south. I have connections all over the state for angling intel and have been trying to do more back road Trout trips myself. Southeast Oregon has been...

    If you are planning on attending, please vote on the Potluck at the original post. I'll have coffee in any case. I was thinking of having a warm pot of my wife's world famous Hearty Beans bubbling on the camp stove and perhaps some fresh corn bread muffins.... I would encourage everyone to...

    Weather, what weather? We have snow right now and 21 degrees, but it should be gone next week. Rain is in the forecast for the foreseeable future... so we are a go! I'm guessing no one melts if exposed to H2O so we should be good. There is a covered area to visit and meet up. I'll have my awning...

    Nature Photos

    Between the Christmas holiday, inventory and the silly weather we've been getting, I'm getting a little cabin fever. Was planning a trip over the hill to photograph Big Horn sheep, but getting there right now borders on life threatening. Maybe this week.... Until then I'm just shooting close to...

    Fly Fishing

    Hello my new best friend! Pyramid Lake is on my list of places I NEED to fish. I had a guy come into the shop over Christmas with some great photos of beautiful Lahontans. I've been researching and there are a few "wild" fish in small streams in SE Oregon, but most are closed due to a fire that...

    Snowbound? Volunteer for Meals on Wheels

    I live on a hill and the road to my house is closed. I take that as an advisory closure. Chained up the runner and went down to check on my shop. Then delivered a camp heater to my Dad who is without power at the moment. Checked in on all the neighbors. Checked in on the mother-in-law. Now to...

    Snowbound? Volunteer for Meals on Wheels

    Here in the Portland area life as we know it has come to a screeching halt with the snow fall. If you don't have to work today, or if you can get out of it for a little while, call your local Meals on Wheels chapter and volunteer.... They can always use folks with 4wheel drive on days like this...

    Who's in the Region?

    I tried, couldn't figure it out. Above my technical skill level evidently. When I was growing up terabytes were dinosaurs. :sunglasses: @BillyBadly is going to take a whack at it for me. Cheers! Here's the original post. UPDATE: This event is now on the Member Events calendar. @BillyBadly...
