Anyone fly fish? I don’t fish except I’ve fly fished now and then, and love it. It’s the standing out in a scenic stream / woods that I love, and fly fishing is a blast. I don’t hike nearly as much as I’d like anymore. Love California - Lake Tahoe area, just the scenery is amazing. No pics there but here are some from Puerto Rico - rainforest

Got out fished by my son at Monroe...only one we caught..😁

I fly fished once. Couple years ago was out in Yellowstone and heard it was going to be during the salmonflies hatch and we should go fly fishing. Booked a morning trip on the Madison river (pic below) in MT. Spectacular scenery. We fished from boat but it was at the tail end of the hatch. By the time I was finally getting proficient, our time was up. Had 1 strike but didn't land it.

Turned out really well

Here’s my c63

Doing some asparagus and chicken tonight. The chicken is mostly for meals during the week.

How about this?

All this talk about pork steak made me want some...got Pork Steaks and Im trying my hand at smoking some baked Beans that I through together this morning...results later

Bingo...Dizzy pitched a 3 hit shutout in the opener...Paul threw a no hitter in the 2nd game...

????? The Dean bros?

Caught one in Virginia beach and another in Key West. They are poisonous, if you get stuck by one it will swell you up. Dont ask how I know.😟

Ok, two crazy stories/ quite true I assure you. First I remember me and my older brother went fishing at the Yellow River in Bremen Indiana, my hometown, we could walk to the river in 10 minutes- the fish were biting so well we quickly ran out of bait- my brother says “ I bet I can catch on an empty hook”, needles to say he cast out an empty hook and catches a bluegill. Second story, me and my other olde brother have always fished together and have fished hundreds of times together. Spring time down here in Kentucky we like to seine rocky bottom creeks for hellgrammites / which are larvae form of a Dobson Fly. If anyone doesn’t know what one is, they are a leathery little creature with multiple legs and a pretty decent set of pinchers, smallmouth and rock bass absolutely love them, long story short, I caught a medium size rock bass 7-8 inches and reel it in- go to unhook and find I never had it hooked at all - when the fish went to eat the bait the bait had pinched into its gills and that’s how I reeled it in, my bait caught the fish 🎣. Best story and sorry it’s a poorly told and typed story.

Looks good to me.

Ok..just finished dinner...really good..beans were better than i thought they would be..👍

Well, it appears that you cannot see what I copy and paste. The last photo that I just sent came from my picture files. The one you couldn't see was copy and pasted from my e-mail account.

Now if only someone could teach them to retrieve the many golf balls in those lakes..... Cha Ching!!!!

I thought about the Weavers and the Benes boys...

Good questions. I always thought the Maddux, Leiter, Perry....brothers were the answers to most of those questions. Always forget about Dean.

Yeah, got to be careful with the braising part. I use the lowest heat possible on my gas grill and as soon as they're brown on both sides, into the pool they go... You said you were working with thicker pork steaks than I'm probably use to (here, they cut them about 3/4 of an inch) so getting them cooked through will be a bit of a challenge... Glad you enjoyed them!

Go when you need a new set!

Wow. That’s nice. Ever take it to the track?

@IUFLA Made the pork steaks tonight. Very good. I over cooked them a little, first time braising, but we did enjoy them.

@jblaz13 any updates?! Thanks for the info!

Hopefully the pelican that ate it didn't mind. I didn't trust that fish haha.

And #3

Helluva night at Monroe

Good news, my test came back negative. So I just had a bug and not the bug.

48" muskie, caught it on a week long trip to Lake of the Woods in Canada.

Tammy and I just got back from the lake. It was a scorcher at 92 degrees. Fish were not biting but Tammy worked on her tan. We had 3 bites and I caught one small redear.

My kids are both big into Bass fishing, but I've never got "hooked" on it myself. I like to spend time on the water. Canoeing, jet sking, pontooning. Learned to water ski in my 20s and wish i could do that more. My wife and I like to travel and hike. Basically day hikes, nothing overnight. Have hiked some fantastic places. Sedona, a glacier in AK, Yellowstone, and last summer in Banff and Glacier National Parks. Love hiking in the mountains but probably not as hard core as @SteveS ^^^. 1000' elevation over 4 hours or so is my max. My wife was very nervous about crossing the frozen waterfall on this narrow ledge. Think it took about 5 minutes for her to get up the confidence.

I’ve been camping my whole life. I never really got into hunting and I’ve only really fished when I was in the boundary waters and the alternative to eating fresh fish was freeze dried meals. Now I climb mountains. This is my favorite “feet on the beach” pic (taking a break on my way up Torreys peak).

This is from yesterday. Limited out on panfish plus 4 nice bass. I live on a lake and have several quite close to me. Needless to say we had a fish fry last night.

I see the wife doesn't trust you with the baby.

One drink and one drink only. ZIMA BABY!!!!!!!!!!!

I see the originals of the boat, but for others I see this...
