This past Sunday, “Free Family Fishing Weekend” I got Greg snuck out of his house again for a few hours to try our hand once more at Sturgeon fishing. So far our track record (for those keeping score on the actual “fish side” of things) has not been great this year.
As you might recall, in [...]

Well now that Scratch got back from his GeoJunkit of 12 States and OMG a bazillion Geocaches as part of “The ‘Eh’ Team” I guess it’s time to go fishing again (right before Grouse season).
I also see that he picked up a new sporty looking Ranger Hat and scored a lightweight fishing vest like I [...]

Deja vous! I made a special vacation video just for my buddy Scratch, so he and I could forever remember the day we almost wrote off the books. Hyup, Saturday morning at the Klave he woke up to find out that someone had taken his rear valve stems off his Jeep, and deflated the [...]

As you know we got the Gold Panning bug over here at 50N. Well, Lance stumbled across a nifty Sluice Box on eBay and got a chance to hook it up the other day. We are quite taken with it indeed, and will in fact save us quite [...]

A day. Just a day.
A day on the water can do wonders for the soul. Norman McLean wrote about the river as a metaphor for his life, and the natural ebb and flow that brings life, death and rebirth.

Apparently, those fish we spotted down at “The Bighorn” hole were “breaching” Sturgeon. No wonder we couldn’t catch them with the fly rod! Last evening Scratch had a nice one on for a while though with a spinning rod. He casted out and managed to hook onto a sunken line that happened to have a [...]
