    Trouble with Pinks?

    Chris, there are (at least) two main rearing strategies for Puget Sound Chinook. Most juveniles seem to be "ocean type" that out migrate within the first 3 months or so after emergence. The second is the "stream type" Chinook where the juveniles spend about a year in fresh water before going to...

    NFR Okanogan partridge and quail

    I've been hunting upland birds in the Okanogan valley with my dogs for 25 years and have seen some great times and some not so great.

    NFR motorcycles

    That's a beauty. Used to ride BSAs, Triumphs and a cafe racer Triton back in the 70s and 80s. I keep looking for a good old British bike for sale for nostalgic reasons. Would love to ride again. Let me know if you ever decide to sell it.
