Thanks for the report and photos Steve. They brought back lots of memories of my own beaver trapping exploits going back to 1976.

Very nice sentiment Steve, thanks. I too find myself doing a lot of fond 'remembering' lately. There sure have been a bunch the past 73 years and I'm grateful.

Very nice Alan, thanks for sharing.

Yes, I have one - loose leaf in a 3 ring binder. Pretty sure I printed it out off of a pdf that I'm not sure I even have anymore. That was a somewhat contentious time with the DHBP - best laid plans, etc. limited it's distribution.

I had cataract surgery 4-5 years ago. Monocular lens were used so I do need glasses to read or tieing a fly to a tippet but my far vision is way beyond my best expectations. Pre-surgery vision was 20/40 at best - corrected! Post surgery vision is 20/10+2. Vision acuity is fantastic in all...

Well no wonder your motor doesn't pee [cool]

In my limited engine knowledge the symptoms are pointing to a bad valve guide.

Carl, I've got a limited experience with OB cooling systems but have replaced a couple of impellers over the years - my thoughts: 1) Linkage issue is separate from cooling system. 2) Are the impeller vanes installed correctly? Once you have the lower unit off, turn the prop while watching...

Good job Dave.

Dani, I agree with Roy, sounds like a fuel delivery issue. Had a motor that acted like that....... there was a tiny piece of plastic in the bowl that would jam up the jet. Ran fine after I got it out.

Ditto - 495s for me and most, if not all, my hunting companions. Still on my 1st pair that are near 20 years old. Extra liners so I always have dry gloves in the morning. One of those "best thing I ever bought" items.

Hi Todd Having enjoyed your prose over the years, it's fun and interesting to combine it with a voice and thought process. Thanks.

I was stationed at NAS Whidbey Island when I first heard the saying "when the tide's out, the table's set" how appropriate.

It is definitely a blast sight fishing Reds. There have been quite a few days when I only cast to fish that I can see and watch them eat my fly. Haven't been into my backing yet but only because I let them tow me around, like this 28" - my personal best.

It's been a real learning experience. My 1st year here I only had waders and managed to get a 25". 2nd year I had a kayak and caught maybe 200 Speckled Trout but only a few Reds and those were with a spinning rod. This year I have a Solo Skiff and able to go further and stand up to see/cast...

Apparently "used to be a great place ". From my understanding Hurricane Harvey in August 2017 totally scoured St Charles Bay (where I'm at) and it still hasn't recovered. I've seen rafts of a thousand Redheads near the Aransas Pass Causeway but only a couple here. Oddly, seeing a lot of...

Nope, I see very few ducks while out fishing though I understand there are a lot more birds out around the barrier islands. Plus, it's like $315 for a NR annual license .

Been on the Texas gulf coast since Nov 1st. - mainly flyfishing Redfish. The past month I see Whooping Cranes most days. Thought it strange to see them grazing on the flats until I learned they love blue crabs as much as we do. https://youtu.be/Nm9fwhdJths
