Patagonia Hybrid Pack Vest L/XL - Price Drop $30

Used for one season, still looks new. I've found I prefer to carry a pack rather than a vest. Free to meet up in the Seattle area, or you can pick up in the North Seattle Northgate area.

Do used car lots have lower prices outside of Seattle?

I have an old beater 2001 Honda Civic I am looking to trade in for slightly less old beater commuter car. I seem to be leaning towards bouncing around to some used car lots and after haggling out an agreeable price, leaving them with my car and driving off with one of theirs. For some reason, I seem...

Re: Rod/Reel for Salmon Fishing on WA Rivers

If $200 is your hard budget I'd suggest buying a okuma sst in the 8'6" to 9'6" range with a rating in the ballpark of 8-17lb line and a medium action. That rating will be a good multi specie rod, should be light enough for pinks and enough backbone to handle a king. A 9'6" would also double as a de...

Re: Skookumuchuck river

I was there yesterday. Water level/clarity was good, and the weather was nice. The place was deserted save a couple of guys at the hatchery. No fish to be seen. I was there from dawn until about 11am. Started out at the lower river and hit up by the hatchery afterwards. I was up at blue creek the fr...

Re: Spokane St Bridge / Duwamish mouth Open for fishing?

This is part of Area 10. Area 10 is closed to all salmon fishing until 11/1 (according to the regs). It appears to be open for other types of fishing.

Re: Gotta give some props to Shimano customer service.

I'm a big fan of Shimano as well. I've tried a bunch of other brands, and while I'm sure they are great for other folks, the ergonomics and reliability always had me coming back (I like the FJ 300 spinning and Curado baitcasters). I've dealt with customer service as well for replacement parts (I los...

Trade/Sell: Like New GL2 9ft 8-12lb Fast Action Spinning Rod

Model Number: STR1084S GL2


Great rod, just looking for something a little lighter. I'm hoping someone has a something in a similar price range that is in the 9ft-9.5ft, 6-10lb range that would be interested in making a trade.

Otherwise, cash price would be $200
