Here we go. Heart of the order. Will this be the inning?

Can't believe they got out of that one. Never seen so much great pitching in one game. Unreal.

Great pic!!!

Low-holing bankies in low water to catch darkies... pretty douchey stuff, especially considering you just talked to them before they picked your pocket. Social commentary aside, thanks for the info.

Haven't floated it this year and don't know anyone who has. It's even lower than last year, and you remember how skinny that was. It sounds like there are two compelling reasons to wait on a good rain before floating the Satsop (the other being that there aren't many fresh fish around that...

Crazy. Home field disadvantage. Pretty hard to get far into the postseason when you can't take care of business at home.

Growing up, I had a toy robot that played 8 tracks, an old school tape recorder, a "ghetto blaster," and a cheesy component system with giant speakers that sucked. I've been running mostly the same system since the mid-90s: Yamaha Receiver with Phase Tech bookshelf speakers. I used to have a...

Moclips is a bit of a drive from most of the fishing on the coast, but there are definitely opportunities for salmon within 30-45 minutes. Something nearby you COULD do is to find a Quinault guide who does fly fishing on the Lower Quinault River. (Taholah, the main tribal village, is right up...

The dreaded "coho curse." It's uncanny how you can go 10 for 10 and then have your next 12 come off. The Houdini of the salmonids.

I'm seeing a lot of 10+ lb. Coho in recent pictures... and it's early. Someone's going to catch a 20-pounder this November.

As you can now plainly see, the 10% figure originated in my bowels and slipped out my posterior. No reliable source to be cited there. Total WAG. Looks like a poor one, too, until you dig down a metric and find that only 32% of that 19% who tried it (about 6% overall) went back monthly or...

I love music almost as much as fishing. Most times, I try to keep the two separate, to maximize enjoyment and minimize distraction from the things I love. There's a place in my world for sitting on anchor in the Gulf of Mexico, throwing a live shrimp or baitfish off the back, sippin' on a beer...

I'm really hoping for a grandkid to get interested, but the odds seem long. Something like 10% of people fish occasionally. About half of that contingent fishes frequently, and about a third of them fly fish. Among the fly fishers, only about half (or is it even that much?) of us get into tying...

Wow! Great trip!

Bauer makes a nice a reel. Glad to see they took care of you.

Nice to see some different fish round here. Beautiful place. Thanks for sharing!

Makes sense that the low light would make for happy bass and get them looking up. Tough to get a bass to eat off the top in the bright sun (in my limited experience, anyway). Does anyone know if the same particulate crap we're breathing when it's smoky gets into the water in any meaningful...

I like a purple woolly bugger with a heavy pink or orange bead (or conehead) for those tidal coho, but indeed, they can be tough.

My only advice (from friends who can tuna)... DO IT OUTSIDE! You don't want that smell in your home for the weeks that it will linger, and you also avoid heating the place up during the "dog days."

That Rainbow Clouser looks great. Nice and sparse! I haven't caught many kings on flies, but I must agree the best biters, no matter the species, seem to be willing to come up. As further evidence, I recall a day several years back on the Lower Chehalis where an old friend and I were tossing...
