I've always used Mountain Valley Garlic

I saw the guy working on it later in the day, sidewalk tunes and all. I’m surprised he attempted to take it out it in the first place but then again not really.

Showed up the other day on my local dog walking spot

Don’t have Korkers but I have some Patagonia boots with studs and they are decent in terms of grip but no where near as good as the felts with studs. Runner up to felt IMO in terms of grip are the aluminum bars.

I get the frustration with WDFW and the state of our fisheries in general but to not lead by example when there are openings is pretty ironic.

Another vote for the Theraband flexbar, it really does work if you stick to it and are diligent. Additionally, try increasing your grip strength if you can. Farmers walks are what I prefer.

Yeah absolutely. Like @Matt B, I’ve left comments the last two years but I’m going to try and show up in person if I can or virtually at least if that’s an option.

The head bio of our district says that hardly anyone shows up or voices their opinion at NOF… He was willing to work for anglers on getting more openings in the future if he could prove that there were no Chinook encounters but there’s no way to do that as of now with how they have things set up...

I heard from a bio who said that all the S rivers are at risk of being shut down because they are pressured to cut $10,000,000 of funding so creel checkers are getting furloughed.

This is true!

Agreed @holtad, which is another reason why I personally stop fishing it after the salmon fly hatch and don't again until the fall. Fall is tough though with so many other options! Really the best time to be a sportsman.

I also experienced the effectiveness of the Black Pennell recently. I got into tying classic steelhead flies this winter and these wet fly patterns fit in nicely with my new obsession. I'll have to tie up a few of the Hardy's Favourite. Looks like a nice lake!

Curt, I should have said hello but wasn't sure if that was you or not. I was a visitor in the back and came just for the presentation. I also thought it was pretty remarkable that from 2022-2025 during their seines and snorkel surveys, no hatchery or unmarked fish were ever encountered. I think...

Thanks for the replies everyone. How long have you owned the house at Camas. You may know my wife’s family. She lived there with her parents and two siblings from 1999-2011.

Never hunted for deer or elk but found out last night my in laws neighbors, Chelan County, take deer on their property with a bow. My in laws said I could do so on their property if permissible and I'm wondering how you would go about getting a permit to do so? The neighbors property is not...

It was nice to get out before work and fish a lake that’s been on my “to fish” list. Thanks Dave. I tied these pedestrian versions up this week to fish I had a six piece glass rod made by Shane at GrayWolf last year for my backpacking and stocking trips for the Trailblazers. It’s...

With some really big outgoing tides lately, I’ve discovered the beach I thought was primarily a high tide beach fishes even better at super low tides. It’s revealed an endless amount of eel grass bed hideaways that have been extremely fun to fish. Unfortunately, the last three large specimens...
