Watched the 2 hatchery trucks stock what they said were about 20,000 rainbows at P'Ville today. They were about 10" long and well fed. Video added: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4zkBR_CmLk

Non residents can get a day pass for $5 from the town hall, at least that has been true for the last few years.

Coupled with an Airmar through hull transducer it is very good. I have been using them for about 7 yr. on 2 different boats with no problems. Although I use split screen most times, 50 hz almost always gives me a better picture. I don't play much with the settings except for gain a little.

Don't quite understand the rules for the salmon showdown. ie. electing not to weigh in fish on day 1. How does this work?

Agree with twin screws, and counter rotating inboards are best for docking.

Had the same thing happen last year with my Sako .243. Took the bolt apart and solvent cleaned it. The professional advice I received, was to be very sparing with any lube in the bolt. Some said no lube, some said use G96 lightly, add others said use Molly Lube on firing pin. After cleaning the bolt, I put a very light coat of G96 on the firing pin and reassembled. All has worked well since. G96 is supposed to have very good cold weather properties.

Don't want to do the tire thing just yet. Above is definitely an option under consideration. For this weekend, I'm thinking about dropping rear tire pressure from 80 to 50 and front from 50 to 40, plus add 400-500 lb. in tube sand over the rear axle.

It is an automatic but in the lowest gear as speed was fairly slow. I did not have it in low range and don't think that would have helped.

Sorry, I should have said that mine is a 4X4.

Since I know many here find themselves in challenging off road conditions, I thought I would ask for suggestions. One of the camps that I hunt from is steeply uphill on a winding washed out access driveway about 1/4 mile long. Last weekend I had a very difficult time making it to the top and actually needed a tow at the very top of the rise. The stones are loose and wet leaves didn't help. I am driving a 3/4 ton Chevy pickup with a cap. What bothers me is that three other vehicles made it without much problem. They included an older Mercury Mountaineer, a older Toyota pickup, and a newish Ford Escape (AWD). All their track widths are narrower and they can more easily stay out of washout ruts. It was suggested that I could try lowering my tire pressure to say 40 lb. (It is currently set to the recommended 50 lb. front and 80 lb. rear). I know chains would work but would rather not go that far. Currently my tires are 3/4 worn and not the most aggressive. I'm looking for any other ideas that would help next weekend. Thanks.

A friend of mine got a nice tom yesterday and we want to have it for a turkey dinner at deer camp next Sunday (1 week later). He skinned the bird and is cleaning it up now. The question is: What is the best way to keep it from spoiling for the next 6 days. Is refrigeration good enough?

There is Whaler in Pultneyville with a door like that. It is the Pultneyville Fire Rescue boat. I always assumed it was modified to more easily load people from the water.
