Wow, thanks for all the help all! Fortunately, equipment and tackle aren't an issue as my family has collected fly rods, standard rods, waders, wading boots, etc over the years. just never got that interested as a younger guy.
Will certainly support the local fly/tackle shops with my money...
Noted about hanging around tackle shops. We have quite a few guide services around town, so I'll definitely check those out!
and thanks Basal_Area for the recommendations, I'll check those places out and see what happens. Will steer clear of Idaho unless my car conveniently breaks down near a...
Live in Ellensburg, Washington. We have great trout fishing in the Yakima River, but I'm looking at fishing the mountain lakes and streams. Likely fly fishing, but also interested in rod and real lake fishing. Not sure what to target yet. I've only ever fished for trout. Definitely would like to...
Ellensburg, Washington is where I've lived a good portion of my life. It's a fantastic little town nestled right up against the cascade mountain range in Washington's elk capital. 1 hour and 45 mins from downtown Seattle, but a whole different climate (Sunny and dry with all 4 seasons). city of...
Hi All,
I've fished very casually for most of my life. The ol' "worm on a hook and throw it off the dock for a trout" type of fishing.
Nowadays, I'm looking to learn more about the different species, different methods and different types of tackle.
What are some of your favorite resources...
Well now that you've posted those pictures, I'm even more excited! Pulled the trigger on the Marshall for 360, and then expensed the remaining cost so my employer pays for half of the remainder. $180 for a Marshall aint bad!
Glad that others were able to capitalize too!
Yep. Boots, boots, boots. Definitely listen to everyone when they say to avoid going overboard with the items in your pack. You'll end up regretting every unnecessary ounce. Thought that doesn't mean to go to the extreme side of packing light. ultimately, the bare essentials mentioned here are...
well this isn't good....
Totally agree that conservation organizations and hunting based companies need to start raising hell, but what should we be doing at a boots on the ground level? I'm guilty of thinking that "write your congressman" is a waste of time with their automated responses and...
Hi All,
My wife has been trying to get out in the field with me recently, but she's been wearing some street boot Doc Martins. Her feet get soaked and sore, which means we both need to head back home.
I believe that I finally talked her into getting a proper pair of hunting boots that will...
I've always wanted to go to Kentucky but have never gotten the chance. This isn't helping my desire. Any details on what region of eastern Kentucky that was taken in?
