Celtics fan for 60+. Johnny Most & Tommy were right. The other team has knives & axes. I can’t fish now, so I tie flies for Project Healing Waters, a program of Wounded Warriors. Fly fishing heals. Tying heals me from not fishing. Be kind & help others.

Phasing out NIH’s HIV clinical guidelines is flat-out immoral and unethical. These guidelines drive early diagnosis, ART initiation, and viral suppression—82% linked to care within 30 days, 69% virally suppressed by 6 months. Removing them puts millions of lives at risk. wapo.st/3FQovhf

Taiwan has plenty of hot springs, but no fishes there. So to pick a #TaiwanFishes for Rene's "extremophiles" #SundayFishSketch prompt I'll have to go with a non-native—the tilapia / 吳郭魚 / 台灣鯛。Heat tolerant, saltwater tolerant, these cichlids have a rich and storied history in Taiwan aquaculture. 🐡🦑🧪

Our private lake at home. I will be down here fishing soon. It was just restocked a couple weeks ago thanks to the Nisqually fly fishing club.

Good fishing in the Farmington River

Taking my mind off of… everything by looking at some fly patterns to tie and watching fishing videos. Productive, no but I’ll settle for this because it’s too hot to really do any actual fishing right now.

The truck is loaded with all my gear for my solo adventure. I’m taking the fly rod & the spin rod. It’s going to be a good afternoon of a man, his dog and his ice cold water, fishing for dinosaurs.

”Perhaps the most popular fly-fishing site in this licence area is the Haapaniva rapids located at the lower end of the area, where the primary game species is grayling, which may even be quite large.” Sticking to the theme of this trip, quite large grayling! 🐟 fishinginfinland.fi/destinations...

The last time I was fishing the upper part of Juutua was in 2015. The grayling were not small and were keen on the dry flies! #FlyFishing I’ve only been nymphing on this trip, so it would be nice to get surface action when the weather is better next week.

Yesterday I woke up next to a river, made coffee, went fly fishing, and a giant bull moose crossed the river less than 200 feet from me and just chilled out in the middle of a class 3 rapid for like 20 min

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Congress was governing?

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

Some mini poppers for the panfish box. Just sharpies and nail polish to finish them, no point in fancy painting at this size. Forecast looks like carp on Monday but these will get a swim before long. #flyfishing #flytying #fishing

Here's the truth about tax cuts for the rich. They explode the federal debt, fuel giant profits at the biggest firms and financial institutions, and stoke a surge in billionaire wealth but do nothing for average working people.  Nothing trickles down.
