I highly recommend it!

If it makes you feel any better, I went to a favorite little trout lake after and couldn't buy a bump!

...Until I heard a suspiciously loud splash in a shallow bay and proceeded to fool a matching pair of 2lbish LM, one on a bugger and one on top

thanks, you have inspired me to hit me local bass pond today!

Took the morning off from the grind.
Very slow. Only thing to show for it was a limit of litter my girlfriend who accompanied me picked up.

I took a 3/4ths day at work to run some errands and check out a couple very local to me beaches looking for chum fry. Shit tide when I was out but got a couple. Nothing big and no chum fry spotted.




On a side note. Anyone have a beach you think should great and is just ehh or poor? That’s this beach for me. Super close and seems to have everything a good SRC beach needs but few fish, at least for me over the years.

Because the majority of them got the memo that you live nearby so they relocated.

My local is like that. Looks fishy, but just isn’t.
It is a five minute walk from my house but I rarely fish there anymore. Even though it occasionally puts out fish, I’d rather drive an hour and a half to better cutt beaches.

Too many to name. Would like access to a beach not far away but i am not tribal. My wife & inlaws are but Montana tribal. Do need to check my local beach for chum fry as the return numbers have gotten better the last couple of years.

It was cold as hell this morning with that breeze. Fished with @jasmillo on the early incoming, bunch of fish around, landed 3 lost 3. Good thing this fly worked pretty well because I hate to change flies when my fingers aren't really functional

Took out some trash as well.

We managed to miss several fish between us along the north shore of Hood Canal yesterday. It was a gorgeous if cold day for kayaking, though, and we did encounter many small schools of unharrassed chum fry - mostly out in open water.

We later stopped to eat lunch at my friend's cabin and to fish that beach on the incoming, but as we sat there, a big pod of porpoises swam through, not 30ft off the beach right in front of us! Our phones, of course, were in the car. Very unusual to see them that far into the canal. Not surprisingly, the beach did not fish well after that...

Stopped by there this afternoon, but got chased off the beach by an incoming storm

Hit the beach this morning first thing.
Got my ass kicked by about double the forecasted wind. Managed to grind out a couple grabs and one to hand, but it wasn’t really all that much fun as far as fishing conditions go.

Smoked searun cutthroat and bashing humpy fishing? I think I’ve heard that twice now in a week.

Smoked up nice though.

Makes an awesome ingredient in dog food, too. Experimented last year with making our own dog food as part of a food-independence hobby of mine. Going all in this pink season and am going to try and fill a chest freezer with them.
