He’s definitely got it figured out!Fish like those don’t come easy anywhere and especially not in WA. Those photos are a record of time and dedication to figuring things out!
Ephrata area if I'm not mistaken?While I'm loving life in Oregon, I miss those fisheries up there where you are. I spent a lot of time up there in my adolescent/teenage years. My (ex)step dad and his family are in that general area not far from you, so I have a lot of good memories in what I'm sure are some of the same places. Though my step dad wasn't 1/10th the fisherman you are, so we only scratched the surface of what you have been doing.
Maybe some day life will give me the opportunity to head up that way again for another visit.
I'm from Ephrata/Moses Lake (where I grew up). Step dad's family was Wilbur and Grand Coulee.Ephrata area if I'm not mistaken?
Does ice flow start becoming an issue for you pretty soon?Hatchery brat tonight. It was pretty cold. 22 degrees, but with wind-chill it was around 14.View attachment 43437
Ice flow isn't an issue. You get a little shelf ice once in awhile, but the flows fluctuate so much it goes away within a day or two, max. And it has to be really cold for a long stretch to even see that. Water temp was around 40 degrees tonightDoes ice flow start becoming an issue for you pretty soon?
Epic thread BTW. Helllllll of a fall journey you've been on. Appreciate you sharing.
