Mostly interested on how much of a gong show the boat ramps were. I braved it last year and ended up parking a mile down the road the afternoon before the opener. Crazy crowded then and with no columbia fishery this year, thought it would be worse this year.

Well????

Crab opener has been Good. Kids had a blast.

They did plant 110k last year, from discussions with staff. They aren't using solely brood stocks from the SF. Mix if fish returning to reiter and sunset. But with 25 and 35k for the previous two years, not a lot are coming back to reiter. Also heard they were using reiter for chinook rearing...

This feels like an excuse to push everyone to their electronic catch cards for better harvest monitoring.

Wait until you try a malort-arita.

Me too M_D. Me too.

As others have eluded too, woodland park zoo. Took the kids yesterday and snapped a few picks.

I think a better design would be inflatable pfd incorporated? At a certain point/depth, You'll start being lifted by the lifevest portion. That'll cut traction/stability/control way down.

Sounds like the normal experience fishing with the locals in Lynden.

Been a few years for me. The homeowner across from the frog ponds still a prick?

Thats the neat part, it was.

Solo seagull hanging out in the woods. Weird.
