Going Rogue in the Karma RG by kylethomas | Oct 14, 2018 | Karma RG, Recreational/Touring, riversMulti-day trips are a big deal in the Pacific Northwest. It’s as if every paddler here has done at least one. Multi-day trips were more of a sea kayaking thing while I was living in the Southeast, but even those rarely extended beyond two days.

The Recreational Fisherman by Chris Ritchie | Oct 16, 2017 | Fishing, Fishing Subjects, Lure reviews, RiggingI get questions regularly about what baits I use and my rod and reel set up.
