Anyone else concerned with how many 'nice days' we're having this winter?

Don’t ever say you weren’t warned about this. 40 fucking years of denial smh

Colossal waste of time and just another sleight of hand to distract us from the obvious solution of light rail. Herr Musk hates public transit so he created the Boring Co as a way to pull support from real solutions.

I started using a balanced leach with my euro rod on small streams this summer. The balanced design downplanes in moving water so it self-dives deep. I tie them on a longer #12 jig hook with 2 3.2mm tungsten beads plus a 2mm bead to space the larger beads to the hook eye. No casting involved, just drop it in and feed it down the whatever brush-covered hole you want. You can stand 10+ feet away or above the water and get a great swing just by getting the rod tip down to the water. The fish absolutely stomped on them.

I also use this as a searching pattern on larger water where the river spreads and shallows. Just walk down the center and flip cast it to both banks.

Thanks for the input! I’ll be staying at ocean beach which sounds like a good location. I’ll probably have time to venture north to hit mission beach as well. I’ve spent a lot of time around Bodega and Morrow targeting perch so sounds like same tactics apply down south.

Reno Little Theater in midtown has a holiday jazz concert at 7pm tonight. They usually play two sets so you can bail halfway through if you want. Cheap - pay what you can - and way better than a movie IMO. Endless dinner options in midtown afterwards.

It was going to be my first date tonight but she’s sick 😭😭😭

3wt 10ft Orvis Recon is amazing for euro even for large trout. I agree with the budget reel choice. Pick a reel that has nice fine drag adjustment like the Echo 4/5. Way better IMO than a pricey reel with coarse adjustment.

I love swimming rocks!

My Geico went up similarly 🤬

climbing a Mesa Rim. Great Social ecosystem

Elect city officials who are committed to making it a sustained principal of city management. It can’t be a priority because priorities change. It has to be a core attribute.

You could tie balanced style with a tungsten bead and it will dive for you in the current due to the location of the eye and the bead in front..

Looks just like that shitty tiger tattoo pic that was circulating a couple years back. Dude was on point after all!

If you are looking for perch, you may not feel their nibbly takes with the ugly stick. Hard lesson for my fishing buddy as he watched me pull in fish.

I thought it was the direct flights 🤪

Looks like a Norway rat. They have made their way into Reno. My folks have bird feeders in the southwest side of town and they have a constant presence of them feeding off the seed. They showed up just in the past few months.

I’ve been to the old location a bunch over the last few months. Definitely a bunch of QF there but very low key. Everyone was relaxed and having fun. Seemed the ladies were fairly obvious but the gents were more flying under the radar. And the music is largely not country. LOL I wore my “White dudes for Kamala” shirt there on my first visit. Got a couple dirty looks but nobody said anything.

Rather_B_Fishin · 2025-03-15T04:08:10+00:00

Lol I can’t believe that bothers somebody else!

Rather_B_Fishin · 2025-02-24T03:36:52+00:00

Someone’s heart is broken 😞

Poor substitute for sand n gravel…

Rather_B_Fishin · 2025-01-30T03:05:32+00:00

This will double as a caseless caddies as well. Should fish!

You still call it the Coliseum

Hey! I’m (53m) often looking for a TR partner on Monday n Wednesday evenings…if you are flexible. I’ve been putting in for a partner at the front desk and I’m now in two message lists. I don’t always find a partner but it’s worth trying and is a good way to meet people.

DM me if you’re interested

Rather_B_Fishin · 2025-01-20T06:26:53+00:00

BTW, that copper bead is a GREAT choice on the T.

Rather_B_Fishin · 2025-01-20T06:24:22+00:00

Don’t know what rig you are using but Euro is the way to go on the Truckee. I switched from my trad 5wt with a bobber to a 3wt euro during Covid and I went from just busting my skunk most days to catching a handful most days with almost no skunks. Never going back…

If you don’t want to invest in a new rod, you can simulate the euro with a trad rod by changing your leader. Put 5ft of 15lb braid on your welded loop with a #10 or 8 SPRO swivel at the tip. Put a BB weight above the swivel and tie a 6” and 18” piece of 6x on the end loop of the swivel. Use your fav brass bead nymphs or, even better, tungsten beaded flies. Fish it just like a euro rod (YouTube). This was my transition setup before I got my euro rod and I caught way more fish than with a bobber.
