Lower Deschutes mostly, big water where a staff helps a lot.
I use a converted ski pole.
I fancied it up with :
Stainless ring on the ski pole
1/8" black shock cord
Nail knotted and shrink tubed connections
Brass snap on my end
Grommet on a leather tab that is attached to my wading belt
Make the shock cord length slightly shorter than the staff so it will "keep" when walking the trail.

I made two in about '98 and still have both.

It's hard to find good donor ski poles with all the crazy bends and hook tips they use now.
Best bet is to sort through the bin at the used store and find an old school, straight shaft, straight (or cup) point pole.
Cross-country type ski poles are going to be more apt to have the wanted features.

We used to hunt chuckars during the mid-day hours of our rifle mule deer hunts on the Deschutes River in Oregon, we used to raft in and pretty much had the place to ourselves. One year 7 rafts of chuckar hunters and their dogs came in and pretty much messed up the deer hunting.

After that, we went deer hunting a week earlier because chuckar season was closed. Boy, I missed those days! Tough choice for mid-day activity, chuckar hunting or trout and steelhead fishing!

It looks like this one will just stay here.

Yes, form 3s are currently taking longer than form 4s.

No interest?

Up one last time before I stick it back in the closet.

I would highly recommend either a quality pair of stocking feet wading pants or Chota Hippies. With both you purchase whichever boots you want to wear separate.

I missed the mileage part, seems odd that it has done that since new. Looks like you have it covered by switching oil. I’ve only bought a dozen or so new cars, from various manufacturers, never had one use oil like that.

I have had a few in my career. At my last job they had an especially onerous one that I refused to sign after I had an attorney look at it. Went back to them and said changes needed to be made and never heard about it again. Ended up being with the company another five years.

Those little lead pills work miracles when administered with some moderate to high velocity.

Sale pending.

Good news always makes me smile.

I was diagnosed with that about age 12. It made high school hell. I had to take a few F's rather than stand in front of the class. Started going away about age 40.

I suppose that's the case. I know the guy who runs Taku Fisheries here in J-town. He buys the hatchery's chums and silvers. Chums are mostly a roe market as I'm sure you know. Americans expect salmon to be pink or reddish, which chum is not. I worked at the local salmon bake for a few years. They only served fresh king. Just try giving some white king to a DSMFer - they'll accuse you of trying to swindle them. He says there is a good market for the "pale" salmon in Asia as they are used to all the fish they eat being white fleshed.

He was also looking at marketing the milt to the Japanese. Apparently, the milt can be used in women's cosmetics. You know, Asian chicks like j.i.z.z. on their faces

Is she the offspring of Omar and her brother?

Bump.

I found the article in GGII Charlie - thanks. I recognize that Ackley was trying to "sell" that minimum body taper (via an improved cartridge) reduces bolt thrust - and it doesn't when you're operating at higher (> 50 kpsi) pressures. Your Fuji film test show this. Brass actually does grip the chamber walls, which was my point. JB's article acknowledges that there can be zero bolt thrust when pressures are ~ 42 kpsi, or below, as the brass does not reach its elastic limit and stretch to conform to the full chamber length. At these lower pressures, primers out because the case does indeed grip the chamber wall. As JB writes, at about 50 kpsi, the brass stretches as pushes against the bolt face and transfers to the locking lugs. No attempt to discredit you - I think we are both right in regards to what we were trying to say.

As long as our elected "representatives" continually abrogate their Constitutional duties to make law and allow the now law violators to be lawmakers for them, then we have tyranny, in the Congress' name.. Short and not so sweet. IRS, DHS, DOJ, ATF, etc. Congress is directly responsible as our, the people's, oversight, to keep the clowns in control, and obviously they, The Congress, have failed to oversee and control the appointees under them.

I believe i may. Will check.

So Jonboi will be crowned 1st lady

These do look really interesting but have not used one myself so interested to follow for any comments.
