And here in Ellensburg we kind of punked out with only about 8 inches of powder. You don't need a shovel a broom or leaf blower will do. Dave

How a wild turkey ended up in West Seattle has got to be a story unto itself. Anyone know the details? I remember deer sightings, coyotes galore and vaguely a cat or maybe bear and racoons are plentiful as are possums, but a turkey is hard for me to comprehend. Probably the closest place WDFW...

I gear fished the salt for many years and have some definite opinions. First off the best way to prevent corrosion is to thoroughly clean a reel and rod in fresh water and use a tooth brush to scrub with running water. Spools need to periodically be stripped and scrubbed and then wiped with a...

So many people like these very fast rods that seem to becoming the norm. I find no great advantage using them. As for distance I can get the same distance with a medium action as I can a fast action, somewhere around 85 feet. Far more than what I consider a real fishing distance. I can do...

I agree about bait and liberal limits, but I see another problem seldom addressed., Land owners along a river. I have been told by said owners along the Cedar that the river running along their property was theirs and they would do as they wished and harvested trout at will. Also on the...

All Oregon foot ball teams are Dip-Shits. How simple is that! Oregon basically sucks! DAVE

We will NEVER know! This is a conspiracy I believe is justified. Add Rober Kennedy into the mix. A lot of smoke and a lot or Lyndon Johnson and CIA and you name it. No way Oswald was the real shooter. I am not a big believer in conspiracy but this one kind of grabs me as more plausible...

Found I had already read the Sanford book so went to the next one. "A Measure of Darkness" by Jonathan Kellerman's son Jesse Kellerman. The family is really a group of talented writers. Dave

Just finished "Exit Wounds" by J A Jance. A sheriff Brady who done it. Have a John Sandford book ready to go. Dave

Any B.S. excuse to raise taxes for some B.S. government program that does nothing and feeds dollars into politicos pockets. Stanard operating procedure. Keep voting for the same and continue with the same results. I think that is a rough definition of insanity. Dave

Full filling ones bucket list is a good thing. Yours was broad and sounds great! It is a great comfort and the memories are what it is all about. I am nearly 75 and my bucket list though modest was experienced in Wash, Wyo and British Columbia. It isn't the breadth that counts it is the...

If you go far enough and the road is not closed you can get into National Forest land outside the tree farm. Jim I am sute you and I and a couple of others fished as small trib just inside the National Forest. There is some interesting small water up there for those that take the time and...

Dustin I certainly agree with your view on MSH though at least one member of this forum seems to back it as it is scientific as its basis and has insinuated that my disagreement with MSH was ignorant and stupid on my part. Alaska is doing the right thing and maybe WSDFW will learn how to...

Maybe this team just needs to age and mature and let the talent gain their potential. Sometimes continuity is more important rather than trading and replacing. This team seems to have a good base and chemistry which is good for a certain number of wins in that alone. Develop what you have...

As for 100 plus pound fish in the Elwa, yes it is probably possible. Only if nets are gone and the fish are allowed the time in the salt to grow that big. The time duration on salt water is a genetic thing I am sure as it is related to maturity. How long it takes to fully mature. My basis...

There is a big difference if the fish is caught in salt water or fresh water. A fresh water fish, Iin a river, will deteriorate much faster and 6 days on ice is way to long to expect something really edible and that includes smoking. Smoking a "bad" fish does not make it good. If you do...

What a beautiful creature! I would have released it just like I released a measured 64 inch chrome bright king hooked on Oct., 31 in area 11 in the Sound. By eying its girth it may have well been one of the largest sport caught kings in Puget Sound. When working at Westport i netted a few high...

Good to see you are still kicking. This getting old stuff sucks. Both shoulders now dislocated and circulation in both legs not so good. So I get where you are coming from. Tylenol and ibuprofen are my friends. Did you finish up the big boat? It was looking good last I saw. Dave

Did I get out NO! I have an incision from a surgery to connect my femoral arteries that is giving me HELL. It just won't let go. I go so far and just have no option but to sit down and get the pressure off which is directly under my belt. It's not rocket science to figure out what I need to...

Now is the time to wade the Yak as flows are down around 1200 or less in the lower canyon. The fall Haches are starting up and this may be the best time of the year for wader fisherman on the Yak in the lower canyon and above. Dave
