We have a small amount of outdoor enthusiasts on the site. Some knowledgeable catchers of fish, rowers AND paddlers, hunters and other cretins prowling the site. Any interest in an outdoor board for such things?
Outdoor Board?

You're on it, buddy. I used to work in the fly fishing shoppe. I've never owned a record store in real life.
While the Shoppe started at a music bored, the larger goal was to be the arts and culture section and basically catchall for all non tug / non sports ball threads.
We've already had some good fishing threads here. Hunting is welcome too so long as we don't go too far into gun politics.

I get that and wasn't attempting to step on your toes. My only thought was a dedicated board or sub yellow board might draw more participation. There is a wide variety on these boards that is great but speaking solely on my behalf the outdoor topics gwt buried pretty easily and make me less inclined to look. Appreciate ya tho Yellow.

I feel like Stalin is resistant to too many boreds- i.e., less is more. We've had some good out doors threads. They just need some sizzle is all in the title and people will join in.

Don't forget the wam if you want to talk about your spot or techniques w/o them getting blown up. Guns are celebrated. Tag your boys, show your tits.
They sell fish at the grocery store.
Exactly. What makes almost all other boreds suck is lack of color and all around fuckery.
Overall @chuck @dflea the internet is a net negative for fishing. Bigly. Homo sapiens can never keep a secret.
I was listening to a fishing podcast a few months ago by April Vokey. (I think that's her last name). She was talking with a fishing guide about certain rivers in Western Canada that are so inundated with fisherman that it's impossible to enjoy oneself anymore.
Which in fisherman language means she saw someone else during a day of fishing.

I thought "lack of color" is an HH board motto?...
Ms. Vokey has done plenty to inform the public about the once-great fishing in NW BC and draw crowds to the rivers she fishes. Now you have to deal with slot limits, you can only fish on certain days, and the overall experience has been degraded.
She makes her living pimping rivers. It's a catch 22.
Salmon, Trout, Steelheader and other magazines waged an all out PR campaign calling all fishermen to BC in the 80s and 90s. They practically begged people from the US to go to BC. Luckily the best steelheading in the world has some protections in place keeping crowds from descending en mass on all of it. Managing systems like the Babine as high end (for the rich only, essentially), trophy catch and release fisheries or with tight slot limits is the only thing protecting them. Other big systems like the Thompson havent fared so well. They can keep turning that thing silver so tourists can elbow in and foul hook hatchery pigs if they want. Just keep the crowds out of the few places still holding uniquely amazing fish or they'll be gone before I get a crack at them.

Might as well start a BBQ forum too
Like my hero Lincoln I will ruthlessly put down all breakaway rebel boreds trying to leave my Shoppe.
