Cabelas has there Polartec 300 fleece jacket in their bargain cave for $40.

Quantities/sizes/color are limited. It seems XL and 3XL are all that's
left, and the XL is just in Alpine.

I just ordered mine for trib fishing (and I'm an XL now!). I haven't tried
it, but I know people swear by the Polartec 200, and this seems to be 100
better.

We got the Columbia Outlet store down the road. It's cheaper and there's no
way Ma Boyle would give Buah and his gang of theives a dime.
If your traveling through Portland it may be worth stopping for. A couple
of weeks ago I picked up a Bonehead and Bahamas long sleeve shirts. I won't
need them much in the winter but they have some PF shielding factor and I
need to stay out of the sun more and more. . I have a couple of their PFG
shirts that have so many pockets you don't need a vest.
Sometimes the buys there are good sometimes so so, you never know until you
go in.

Not really. It's a whole different animal. Nice. I got one of the
early models on a big sale once when I used to go to REI. But if
you're expecting a lot more warmth, no. There will be some more
effect of warmth, particularly in a light wind, but it's not 1/3 again
better than 200. It just helps block the wind some. You'd do better
in a stiff breeze with 200 and a wind jacket. Less bulk that way.

I did manage to wear it one year right up to the middle of December up
here in MN. I used to take smoke breaks at work and walk around
downtown Mupples 3 times a day. So it is warm. And it does do some
wind blocking. And it is somewhat rain and snow resistant. But...

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 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.

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.
