I just picked up a pair of Korker, studded felt soles. They now have the
felt riveted to the backing. It looks awful, and i'm a bit worried that
when the rivets wear down, they won't hold the sole on. We'll see how it
goes.

We got the Columbia Outlet store down the road.

Tacoma St. or Lake O? I find slightly different merchandise and sometimes
hit both when I have the need. I learned that it is better to buy two
zip-in liners for the coats as they go out of production. Can't beat the
prices.

You been hitting the Sandy for Coho? I tried Tuesday and found my wading
boots wanting. I was walking over the river rocks after fishing for only an
hour in the morning and felt my spiked felt roll over under my right foot.
These are Korkers, the new type with changeable soles. I've been very happy
with the product up until now, but the soles had a complete failure of the
glue on the right foot. Both inserts were seated well. I made sure to look
at the left foot and it was seated with the lip of the insert as required.
I can pull on the felt and can see the felt start to lift off the mushy
glue. I'm saving the placement of the insert to show Kauffman's. I've not
had any problems with the rubber sole or the felts, but the felt & spike
sole failed. It cut my fishing day short as I did not bring the other
inserts with me.
I usually do the Wilson and the Trask, I cna drive there faster than I
can drive across town. I keep hearing the Sandy is combat fishing, is
that true? I only see the part under the I 84 bridge when I'm on my
way someplace else. This year I'm going to try and get up into
Washington more.

I saw only one other fisherman, but it was a weekday and I was not near
Cedar Creek. I'd rather not fish than fight for a run. Of course I didn't
catch anything. The other fisherman was tossing a spinner, and we exchanged
friendly chat. As he was there first I confirmed which way he was heading
and asked if he minded me fishing up river of him. No combat fishing where
I was.

I caught my first steelhead on the Wilson with a rod I made in a high school
class. Of course that was on a Steelie and not a fly, but it was fun.
