    2023 Skagit/Sauk season is a go

    Bingo bango, all data/science aside, this is really what it boils down to. The .orgs are nothing but environmental litigators funded by dudes and dudettes who barely fish.

    Weekend on the WA Coast

    So sick! I've got an Explorer 42 and it has been a gamechanger for all things hunting/fishing.

    2023 Skagit/Sauk season is a go

    That's the problem though, this IS a legitimate fishery. Nothing about the run or forecast has changed, it's a bunch of taxpayer funded pencil pushers that feel zero repercussions for not doing their job, that are holding things up. If this isn't the biggest eye opener for all the bleeding...

    These newfangled computerized baitcaster reels... (Shimano SLX DC)

    I've got a nice lil stash of Curados and am always on the hunt for more...none of them will ever have the DC feature. My formative years were spent at the back of my Dad's Lund in Northern Wisconsin picking backlashes out of an Ambassadeur round body while chucking Bull Dawgz and Suicks a...

    What do you do with your hot smoked salmon?

    Smoked salmon Alfredo really is a fantastic combo.

    Experience with Cheeky Limitless Reels? Other Mid-Priced Options?

    Lamson Guru. American made, won't blow up after a season. Still cheap

    2023 Skagit/Sauk season is a go

    Fellas, I'm not going to lie, I'm a bit disappointed that you're not all out fishing the Skagit system. No one on this forum is going out to bonk a wild fish, the season should have been open for damn near 6 weeks already. If I still lived in SnoCo...well, I'd be fishing the Sauk...

    Reminiscing about Roosters

    Nothing, and I mean nothing, is better than dumping roosters over a good team of dogs. Looks like some great huntin' I use Mushers Secret on both my pups come late season, keeps their pads from cracking and prevents snow build up.

    Proposed Legislation: WDFW Commissioners To Receive Salary

    Man, the idea of the current commissioners getting paid to screw sportsmen boils my blood. The precipitous decline for hunters specifically in WA started in 1996 when a citizens vote was used to ban hound hunting for predators, against the recommendation of agency biologists and the sportsmen...

    Proposed Legislation: WDFW Commissioners To Receive Salary

    Quantifiably false that the commission is comprised of a majority of hunters and anglers. I know the exact number who identify as one or the other, and I'll give ya a chance to read up on the topic and enlighten yourself.

    2023 Skagit/Sauk season is a go

    Anyone have recent float intel on the Sauk from Darrington to the mouth? Couple massive high-water events since the last CnR season, wondering what kind of river we'll be workin with. Roadie with the Clacka back to Washington is damn near the most excited I've been in awhile, and I get excited...
