Well ,
Managed to make it up yesterday. Classic winter Steelhead day. Grey, wet and alot of casting. And thats a good thing.
Fished 3 spots pretty hard, saw a jig fisher catch a hen on the Sauk.
Hope to get out again .
Great thread idea.
I'm hoping to finally wet a line on the Elwha. Both summer and winter.
Also would like to do more beach fishing, specifically would like a nookie off the beach.
Ban Nets! Allow commercial fishing, but with a rod and reel.
Commercial fisherman , native and non native can do it the hard way.
Cull the predators. Not saying kill them all, just control them.
Seals, Sealions and Seabird(Cormorants).
End commercial fishing for foage fish. Herring...
I used to, but being an aging hardwood floorman forced me to quit. Cold turkey! I miss the shit out of it. Still have my 2009 Santa Cruz Heckler sitting in the garage. All clean and lonely.
I think about riding, then think better of it. I see all the new fangled Carbon 29ers and drool.
But...
Was headed to pick up a client for an airport run to SeaTac, down passed Allyn. Saw a big black fin out it the bay.
Made my way to the public dock in Allyn and got an amazing show. 5 Orcas that swam right up to the dock and under it . Very cool and scary at the same! Lots of bait rippling all...
