Being on the west coast I was anaware of any of this. Makes me think of the salmon and steelhead stocking that has diluted the wild stocks and created artificial runs in a lot of rivers with fish that were not originally from there. This doesn't seem like a good long term plan for the ducks either.

Seeing that you are in Washington and the only duck shacks that I am aware of are down at the mouth of the Columbia. It does looks a bit like these. https://bergman-decoys.com/skiffs.htm No idea who would have made it.

In western Oregon mallards will taste different depending on where they have been feeding. You can shoot 7 mallards in the morning and some will have nice white fat (good), some orange colored fat (not good). Same goes for the divers. I will hang my birds for 3 or 4 days and it evens out the...

They are also considered invasive here as well. no licence is required, however that is about to change in Washington. People in certian areas are fishing for salmon without a licence and when stopped they claim carp fishing. There is a lake near me that has too many carp in it. They have...

Carl, It's super fun and no more standing on the cooler. I don't eat any resident fish out of the Columbia due to mercury levels, I have been temped to take a smallmouth or 2 every once in a while, but will enjoy Salmon and Steelhead. I would think a smoked carp would be tasty.

I didn't think about bedded fish... I have gotten into sight flyfishing for carp. There are flats on the Columbia river that you can pole along with plenty of carp to cast to. Can't wait for the water to warm up just bit more.

It is all finished and on the boat. The lower platform is just clamped on so it can coem off easily when changing tht boat over for duck season and the platform comes off easily with 4 hand screws if I don't want it on there if I am going bass fishing and will be fishing off the back platform.

I agree completely on making sure the welds penetrate and I had to grind down some and redo in few spots. I took 2 years of welding way back in high school, but it has been over 30 years since then without much practice and recently was givin a harbor frieght flux core. I understand what makes a...

White, MIlk then finally Dark if it is the only thing left and I have no chioce...

I am building a poling platform for my boat and have welded together the uprights from steel fencing posts. In case you are wondering why I didn't use aluminum or have somebody fab them up for me, I had some laying around and I am doing this project on the cheap. However my welding skills are...

There have to be some ska fans out there. My genre of choice but do like other stuff. The The Dead South is a good one also!

This is a the first pair I tried the t shirt method with. I had just finished building my boat and had some 5200 left over and no money for new waders. These were so destroyed from blackberrys that there was no way I could patch each hole. After I was done they were nearly bulltproof and I wore...

I typically will make a patch out of and old T-shirt cut up and 5200 or any old silicone that I have laying around. I will lay the 5200 where the patch is to go then push the cut out patch into it, then put a little more good on for good measure. Doesn't look pretty but it works.... I have...

I have break away plate for my motor. Before I had a motor with power trim and tilt I just never locked it down. When I got a motor with power trim and tilt I purchased on if these https://thmarinesupplies.com/products/cmc-ba-130-break-away-mount. Mine doesn't have the spring on it and it has...

Chuck I would agree that you are heading down a rabbit hole. I have made a few Tri-lams and have some Yew staves drying that I plan on making a longbow or 2 from. It is a lot of fun. make sure to take your time during tillering and don't rush it. You will most likely break a few in the...
