Does anybody know what the artificial reef on the south end of Blake Island is made of? That's a fishy joint! fb

No doubt, it sounds like we are no longer going to have an E to P with an A. But the economy is going to take off like a rocket! fb

Plus they are necrophiliacs! fb

Getting WDFW/NPS and the QIN on the same page regarding escapement and steelhead fishing the Queets shouldn't be the immovable object that it appears to be. What lever needs to be pulled here? WTF! fb

Thread title had me at half mast, what a buzz kill! fb

Felt for the boat, Vibram with studs or stars for the trail, fb

+1, I got chills taking me back to my rowing days. fb

Those are some fun fish. They eat like dirt, but they're fun to pull on, and big. Gives us something to do while waiting for the real steel to show up. I sure wish the DFW and the tribe could comanage things so that we could fish for them on the rivers they run, instead of confining us to a...

Thanks J, that's on my to-do list!!

Alright I'll bite, roughly how do you make it? I have excess and am running short on outlets for my smoked king stash. And yes, any kind of chowder next day! fb

The hatchery fish are smaller and the wild steelhead are smaller too. Maybe it is not as striking as chinook stocks, with how quickly they reduced their average size on return, but it is still substantial. Catching a teener wild steelhead these days is actually a pretty rare fish for a weekend...

From the article "Manufacturers will be restricted from selling gas- or diesel-powered vehicles over 8,500 pounds unless they first meet the ZEV sales targets". I'll be keeping an eye on this, likely to replace my 3/4 ton pickup in the next couple yrs. fb

That's actually a fantastic idea Curt, an annual quota on chinook as a means to curb impact by the high-liners, I would be fully supportive of that. fb

You have him in the shallows, and the runs are getting less authoritative. Get in calf-deep water and get about a rod's length of line out the tip top, and grab your leader about a foot or two above the fly (somehow without high-sticking and busting your rod). Hold the leader straight above...

Yeah, that's a big fish. Been a couple years since I caught one with a wrist like that, and I've caught a few. fb

I personally think beach fishing should be open all year long everywhere. And I don't beach fish. And nobody really listens to me, so there's that too I guess, fb

I like that they are thinking about a multitude of options, or at least giving lip service to doing so. The idea of keeping 11 (and maybe 10) closed for salmon fishing until Aug 1 is actually a very good one if the purpose is to allow harvest of ocean-returning chinook and minimize sublegal...

I know it's not practical in some peoples' boats, but I just don't net coho, hardly ever. Gaff release em, or if I'm sure it's one I'm going to harvest then I'll either net it or I'll just handline it over the rail. More often the latter. You can handline a fish over the rail pretty easily...

Thanks for posting. At least the closures are getting shorter in duration til the next closure. Mixed feelings on this one. . .as much as I'd like to wet a line there, when it opens up I suspect it will get the living sh!t gillnetted out of it. fb

That's pretty damn funny, thanks for sharing. fb
