Heres my experiences with simms. First pair of boots lasted 5 moths, soles tore off, they replaced them at no charge, That was good but I was without boots for nearly 2 weeks, Second pair of boots lasted little less then one year, They would not replace them due to quote Hard use. So several weeks ago I dec...

I've never purchased anything on EBay before but I'm giving it a try to pick up a 3 weight for some summer hiking trips. I've bid on a couple of rods, but on one auction, one guy keeps pushing the price up on me. I'm close to my max an ready to let him have it. Looking at his purchase history it seems he has mad...

The Orvis store off Union Square is having a closing down sale. Its a shame that a city the size of San Francisco can't support one shop. I work downtown and always enjoyed going in there at lunchtime to talk fishing and pick up a few flies.

I forgot all about reporting that to F & G for 2012. Just a freindly reminder. In the 2012 regulatios they were "thinking" of adopting a policy that forbid a person from bying a steelhead report card for the following year if they did not turn in the previous years. It's easy to do onlin...

It took a cagey old vet, former Cy young winner to bring us up out the funk. Zito was topping out at 85 today. WTF? A 4 hitter at coor's field is damn hard to to. Last shutout there by any memorable pitcher was Roy Oswalt. The G's haven't started a season 0-4 since 1950 or something like that. 2 more and...

Have you bass fishers seen this new "lure". It is five swimbaits on one setup. It looks like a sal****er teaser setup. I am working on an alabama fly. In California you can only use three hooks. The bass guys are easily getting 25 pound days with this setup. http://californiaoutdoo...
