    Greenhorn requesting help

    Greetings. My advice from 40 or so years of fishing rivers is to first learn about current seams, eddies, backflow currents, upwellings, confused water, flat water, and other aspects of reading moving water to locate possible fish locations. Then take the time to learn how current will affect...

    WASP supernest

    A midnight "Smash and Dash" is the way I deal with wasp nests. A good flat board propelled by anger and frustration works pretty good. (Grin)

    Fkn catepillars.....

    Found the active ingredient. Imidacloprid, which is a neonicotinoid. That explains the quick knockdown. Also, a good product with an LD50 (mammals) of >5000 mg/kg for skin exposure so is also a very safe product to use around the house. Even better than tempo if you look at from a purely...

    Lighning Bugs

    Lampyridae (fire flies/lightning bugs) are not a particularily strong species. They are very susceptible to pollution so if you have a good population around your area, it's a good indicator of a clean environment. Those blinky critters have filled many a night with childlike delight in my...

    Fkn catepillars.....

    Looks like a good knock down. That's a new product to me. What's the active ingredient?

    Fkn catepillars.....

    Not knocking either product, as was mentioned before, both are safe and effective. However, if you look at the LD50 (mammals) for Talstar (Bifenthrin) at >2000 mg/kg and the LD50 (mammals) for Tempo (Beta-Cyfluthrin) at >2500 mg/kg, Tempo is 25% less toxic to mammals than Talstar. So if given...

    Snoodie Goes To Alaska

    Brings back some great memories of trips gone by. Snoodie seems to travel well. Hope to see more great pics so I can be even more jealous. Congratulations on some fine fish.

    Muzzle Loader Season

    Montana: $80 over the counter multiple doe tags. Minnesota: $168 over the counter buck tags and in some areas multiple extra doe tags. You can use a smoke pole in both states during the regular gun season. Pick either state and smoke pole yourself 'til your hearts content.

    weeds and fish

    You guys are gonna make me blush with talk like that. - - - Updated - - - This baby with the skirt replaced with a paddle tail is pretty close to what I like to run in the weeds. I like the short arm so the blade is less visible from below. I feel the fish will target the paddle tail more...

    Really??

    OH I understand the double standard and I couldn't agree more.

    weeds and fish

    Kind of, but only bigger. Speed is the key. If you need fast, go with a 3/8th oz or bigger spinnerbait. If slow and steady is the ticket, 1/8th oz spinnerbaits. Beetle spins tend to get weeds in that clippy thing down by the jighead and is a PAIN IN THE BUTT to get out every time you cast...

    Pigeons

    Had a buddy keep three or four in one of those wire mesh dog crates in the garage. Once caught, they settle down pretty good and did well in that setup. For my money, I'd just hook up with a local farmer or rancher and shoot a couple to put in the freezer. Frozen birds worked real well for me...

    weeds and fish

    Spinnerbait walleyes. It really works!!! Take a smaller colorado or indiana bladed spinnerbait, cut the skirt off, and replace with a 4.5 inch paddle tail of your choice. Run that sucker over and through the tops of the weeds and get ready. The eyes just about yank the rod out of your hands...

    Stocking fish

    Kids grow up, life takes unexpected turns, changes occur that can't be forseen. Once you buy a cabin, you can't just walk away from maintenance, taxes, reselling, or improvements. For the price of a lake cabin, one can rent a fully furnished cabin on a great fishing lake for a...

    Really??

    What's the big deal?? An ERROGANT small minded individual attacked a far superior force and got himself and most of his men killed and the victors celebrate his mistakes. We do the same thing. We call our celebrations/remembrances V-E day, V-J day, Memorial Day, and Veterans day. Let them...

    That time I should have died...

    Pick any day while I was in Afghanistan. I suspect it will be the same for any other trooper who went over there.

    Apple tree insecticide?

    Raid yard guard and a step ladder upwind. Used that on our big apple trees many a time.

    Apple tree insecticide?

    I use the soap mix on my fruit trees early in the season when the leaves are just popping out to thwart those early worm type pests (if needed) and then again if I start seeing aphids start to bunch up on the new growth leaves. I avoid using it during the flowering stages. The only downside to...
