  1. At the risk of sounding like a crusty old curmudgeon (RIP RK!) there's a lot of stuff that's only a matter of time... I do see glimmers of hope out there though. We'll see...
  2. Not to mention free shipping. Perhaps Amazon should run the DNR.
  3. I made that same point a couple weeks ago to a new wader when recommending the usgs water data site. The gauge data is seasonal . I think it says that somewhere on the site.
  4. Don't forget about the https://www.softscience.com/terrafin.html boots that John G mentioned in December.
  5. The longest lasting boots I ever had were a pair of Patagonia's ultra lights I got on closeout like 6-7 years and two versions ago. I think I got 3 years out of them. YMMV
  6. Sorry, didn't log on all weekend/Monday. Terry let me know for sure and then I guess the easiest would be if you picked it up when you come in to town at the end of the month. Mark if Terry doesn't want it, it's yours. I'm sure we could find some place to meet that works for both of us.
  7. anyone want a 10x17 coleman tent before it goes to goodwill? it was used maybe 3 times, always put away dry and stored inside.
  8. What would be a semi-natural state? Assume it was originally created to join Illinois with Rock and maybe help with field drainage? Would it just start to dry up like parts of the I&M? Does it still function as a water path between rivers/locks still work? Can probably google but just asking questions about feasibility of going backwards?
  9. i thought about doing a log many times but it seemed like a lot of extra work and wasn't really sure what I would really use it for. I can see keeping a log if you fish many different streams throughout the region. That is a very simple form to fill out yet contains a lot. of info. You could easily do it while on the stream provided you have it on your phone or a signal.
  10. I'd go with slightly to glaringly condescending. While his point is valid it doesn't need to be stated that way. I'd be surprised if the tax payers of River Falls bear the full cost of the dam removal. Isn't there usually state and federal money for stuff like that?
  11. Yeah it looks pretty slick. Is it any better than the others? Depends who you talk to... Lures got expensive when they were successfully marketed to be superior to other lures and people were willing to pay for said superiority (perceived or real).. Do the fish care? I'm not sure yet... I do know nothing I've found suspends quite like the LC pointers.
  12. Dang, forgot about this. Did anyone go? If so how was it?
  13. I had $10 free from DSG rewards so I splurged on a jackhammer. I'll give that a go this year.
  14. A lot of what I have read lately says the blade from the chatter creates some funky water currents and the hammer/boot tail can't function like it's meant to. Basically other trailers like curly tail grubs, senko type, craw type and the fork tail blade something by strike king are better trailers when used on a bladed jig. I'm pretty happy with my swim jigs being bladeless. I haven't delved into to the whole bladed jig thing yet...
  15. I could've sworn I saw it in one of the bulletins... not sure if printed or electronic. It should be March 2. but Scott or one of the other powers that be can confirm.
  16. Sheet metal screws should work, that's essentially what they give you as "studs" with wading boots.
  17. Thanks for the info. I'm a 13 also. Mmm.... I guess order 12 and 13 and send one back. So far all my wading boots have been 13's and fit great with waders and wool socks. Too loose to for wet wading even with simms wet wade sock and tightening down.
  18. Let me know when you get here. I know a bit about that creek and a little about a river or two...
