Man, as a fish biologist that works in habitat restoration I'd highly dispute that river habitat is anywhere close to damn decent in the PNW. There are some exceptions but not many in the area I work.

It still exists, they just rejiggered their links. For example below is a link for the statewide basin map. Washington overall Snotel

Not being a jet boat angler how involved is towing a boat in a river? It hasn't been much of a deal for me in the saltchuck but I assume it's a bit more involved in the river?

Thanks for the video Adam. I appreciated it.

I hesitate to speak about a project that I don't know anything about, but it is the internet so here I go. First I as a fish squeezer/biologist I'd want to thank your buddy for providing access to some of the local biologists. Help from private landowners is key to working with fish! I pulled...

I'm no bear biologist but my assumption is that it's due to a combination of age of maturity (a quick Google says 3-8 years for grizz, 2 years for wolves), lower fecundity compared to wolves (1-4 offspring for grizz, 4-7 for wolves), length of time the offspring stay with mom(grizz 2-3 years...

Clients vastly prefer to fish for salmon by using downriggers and they think mooching is dumb. :D:D

Gami BRBs are my go to as well. Although after SF posted the Matzuo hooks I've got a sinking feeling I've got a 100 pack squirreled away somewhere and I didn't need to buy a bunch of BRBs in the past few years.

My wife took her mom's mid size SUV into the Twisp Les Schwab for a spring tire swap. Schwab that her summer tires were so worn down they wouldn't swap them on for her winters, but they had some good affordable all seasons for $1200. She pointed out that they had at least 3-4 mm above the wear...

I'm not trying to continue to harp on your points I swear! As another FYI the road to Harts Pass is currently washed out, but may be good to go at some point in July. It's worth a call to the FS to make sure it's open.

The area around the Tawlks-Foster Suspension bridge is closed water except from December 1 to February 28 when it is open for targeting whitefish is legal. It might be a bit cold waiting for the sun to get off the water at that point.

As a member of the inland NW I almost said something incredibly rude that may be a banable offense. Fortunately I managed to control myself.

That's some cool looking terrain. Thanks for sharing CP.
