A couple of questions for you Dave, and these Qs are NOT asking to reveal any honey holes or hot spots. I am fairly new to the PNW (Montana raised), and have just been concentrating on the salt by and large. So, the questions: 1) If I am just wading, where is a good place to park and wander...
It is. One must abide the confederate flags, Trump signs, and Q-anon nonsense, but there are nice people and stunning beauty in the Ozarks. Not to mention the brownies, including the US record at just under 38 lbs...
Just got back from a trip to the White and North Fork Rivers in Northern Arkansas. Pretty stunning fishing and the Ozarks this time of year are beautiful. Plus, a week of not having to clean sand and salt off my gear was an added bonus. :cool:
And then on some special late fall days you would get what I call a "hero's wind", gusting from the rear and away from the body, when you can shoot a cast nearly to the backing.
Thanks for the feedback. Looking back through the years, I see as recently at 2018 or so, MA9 was open until the end of October. The change kicked in from 2019 on.
The end of October, then I will move on to skiing... somewhere. Still will fish MA10, which somehow feels like I'm catching the same fish I would have gotten at MA9.
Been a good year, with lots and lots of unclipped fish all over, which has been great to see. But I have a question for you all: Why the early closure in MA9? Is it because so many of the returning spawners run up through Admiralty Inlet and down past the points? I mean, we end up fishing those...
