We've been looking here in Port Townsend for a few years and it's just getting increasingly impossible. Our savings has increased and we're OK down payment-wise. I just have a hard time accepting what we need to pay for a tiny place that's barely liveable. Houses I looked at in 2016-17 (we...

Not much to add. Lot of great info here, some I plan to put into use this year. One point for a person new to fishing coho from the beach, is the importance of fishing your fly/lure ALL the way back to the rod. Casting distance can help put you on fish at times but, coho in particular, like to...

Never look a gift beer in the mouth?

Find anything? I've done some gold panning and corundum hunting but never diamonds (not yet). So many cool things to do...

Cool. I try to get out and fish your local river a few times each fall. Mostly gear (spinners, beads, jigs)--being new to the fly rod. I haven't run across the warden yet but I've heard the flossers complaining. I try to avoid them if I can--fishing is usually better. I cleaned up so much trash...

Also, just a thought, not sure where you are from or if you are new to the area, but it might be a good idea to start familiarizing yourself with the WDFW regulations. Fishing a river or other body of water "out of season" can become a pretty expensive lesson. Barbless hooks, etc. etc. etc.

Probably not all that helpful since we're pretty much in the same boat. I might be a few weeks ahead of you. For line, I ended up buying and SA "AirCel" floater for yard practice (it was around $20 on sale). I have a 6 wt rod (fairly fast) and think I maybe should have gone with a 7wt line. I...

These are all great. I love miniature works. I'm an artist/illustrator too and appreciate seeing your work.

I stay pretty close to home but that has been working for me. Crabs (mostly dip-netted from shore), clams (occasionally), salmon from the salt (beach-caught--for smoking and eating), and a few silvers from the river (burgers). I'm the only one in the house who eats this stuff so I don't need as...

Shore-bound mostly. But when I do go out, it's in this. Would like to get a little mooching boat...and a 4wd to launch it. I've caught a few salmon from it but find that I do better from the beach.

Why am I not fishing RN?
