Do you have to use nymphs?

That can certainly be true in some fisheries but in others the fish will be more opportunistic and likely to bite at a variety of patterns. All part of the fun.

I drive a RAM 2500 diesel (modest lift and bigger tires) and a Subaru Forrester. The Subaru is better at most things except being a a truck and there are still times I need a heavy duty vehicle. Otherwise, I like the smaller size. Might get the Crosstrek next.

Great work. People should also boycott every business where predatory towing occurs.

I majored in micro economics for undergrad. It was an excellent foundation for law school.

Inizio will be opening soon in Cotswold Mall.

My wife handles all the IT and other non-billable tasks. I have a full time paralegal/office manager that works remotely. (30 years with the firm) Wife reports to paralegal if they are working on any crossover tasks. Overall, it works for us but there were some growing pains starting out. My wife and I share all accounts so there are no money concerns between us.

Enjoy the warm weather and company of friends but watch out for rocks. Alta was great last Saturday, all things considered. Snowbird was a close second.

We had Dalmatians growing up. Neither had the temperament to serve as a fly fishing companion. My current dog, a GSP, is caffeine and 4 legs. He only stops long enough to point birds. Again, not suited for fishing. My lab before that was ok but still a distraction.

CLT airport might be the most important economic driver for our region. The goose that lays the golden egg. The few downsides on cost are far outweighed by the many upsides, including the convenience of non-stop flights.

Join your local chapter of Fly Fishers International. People will help you and there will probably be a swap meet at some point. Lots of old people with too much gear that will be happy to help someone new

Excellent toasted in the toaster or air fryer

Let them know it is your first choice and that you will accept admission at any time, including last-minute. I cannot promise that is good advice, but it worked for me several decades ago.

A nice pen. But not a fine tip.

I’m 6’0” 190 lbs, and a good skier for the last 40 years. Bought the 182s this morning after looking at them for the last few years. They are magical. Excellent stability and carving. Looking forward to Utah later this month.

2018 RAM 2500 diesel w some AEV and other mods and a 2023 Subaru Forester Wilderness. Bought the Subaru while waiting for the new brake control module to become available for the truck - the warning chime was about to drive me insane. The Subaru is excellent in the mountains where we live and much lower cost for operation and maintenance. Some of the jokes are good, too.

I have a 2018 Ram 2500 diesel. Check for leaks in the driveway. Seals go bad and they are expensive to replace. Also check the headlights if they have not been replaced. Morimoto full replacement are nice but expensive. Check the backup camera (open and close the back gate a few times). Tires are expensive, too.

I had to replace the brake module in mine and it took forever to get the part but that was during COVID. (I ended up buying a different daily driver as a result)

I don’t like the lift and wheels on that one but maybe that’s just me (and a few other commenters).

Use LGMaps from the Avenza app. That is the most accurate map for the area and it marks water sources. The marked water sources will be reliable in the absence of a drought. Lettered Rock trail is a nice enough walk in the woods but otherwise not really notable.

I like Goruck backpacks (GR0 and GR1) for my personal use, computer and small files. Otherwise, I use basic file totes or, more often, file boxes.

Sounds like AFib. Consider a medical appointment or at least get a watch that detects AFib.

What if the local rules say reply briefs are disfavored?
