    Pass Lake Toxic Algae report.

    Absolutely no idea :LOL: There was a mix of wetland deciduous trees and shrubs (they all looked like red sticks to me). There will be conifers mixed in as well but those weren't there to plant yet.

    Pass Lake Toxic Algae report.

    The holes have been there for months, but yeah the multitude of little sticks are new. Supposedly all of the fields will get the full treatment but it didn't sound like they were solid on what that timeline is

    Pass Lake Toxic Algae report.

    My wife volunteered me to do a thing on new years day. Saw this picture show up today from the Deception Pass Park Foundation (and somehow I made it in the picture in my Confluence hoodie) The hay fields next to Pass are owned by the state park, and previously were used for hay production but...

    Skagit Steelhead CnR 2026

    I heard from a guy in the know that said that the TU lobbyist reported that the 'private funding' idea was dead in the water. Either way, write (and keep writing) your state congresscritters, they need to make sure that the QS funding is in the permanent WDFW budget, not a line item, which is...

    Do you get distracted?

    I'd agree, its just a different way of having focus. I don't often find the hyperfocus anymore, not sure why. But what I have found is that I can use the short attention span to my attention as well. My job involves dealing with lots of different pathways at once. Usually I'm able to stop what...

    Do you get distracted?

    I just double checked, I must have finished the last fly I was working on. I definitely get distracted by, pretty much anything, when tying flies, or watching TV (or working). Got an ADD diagnosis decades ago, but was old enough to decide for myself what to do, ended up forgoing any drugs and...

    PNW Flood Watch - Dec 8-12, 2025

    The water on the Skagit was finally low enough to try fishing/exploring some of the spots, still too high for lots of good access though. Lots of trees lodged in new places (like tree trees, not just logs). One creek mouth I fish quite a bit has completely shifted its channel, it looks like a...

    Looking at Drift Boats

    Still looking and still trying to understand value and what is reasonable. Saw this one of FB and figured I'd use it as a for example: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1408950667281682/ 2008 Clackacraft FFB drift boat Very nice drift boat package, ready to hit the water today.This...

    Electronic licenses in Washington next year

    I've definitely taken to opening mine before I do any big trip where I'll be out of 5G coverage. It helps that I habitually look at the app to imagine where I want to go fishing next;.

    Durable Wading Boot Recommendations?

    I have a pair of just the rubber soles right now, I figured I'd try them and see if I wanted to buy the cleats or not (spoiler, they came with the cleats) Now I have to decide if I want to stick the cleats in and buy another pair for boat use. When I put them on the first time I was honestly...

    Durable Wading Boot Recommendations?

    I got a pair of these for christmas, hands down the best wading boots I've had just based on the past couple outings.

    Thanks, this is exactly what I was assuming the procedure would be.

    In defense of the fly fishing club

    You lost me at 5:30am. I'm not as 'young' anymore at 44 (had to do the math there) but this is also just not true. Young people spend a ton of time going out and socializing in the real world (IRL as is the fashion) just like they've always done, also just like always I guess we all love to...

    PNW Flood Watch - Dec 8-12, 2025

    Eh, to me the title implies that the army takeover of the dam was necessary to reduce the flood impact, and that without the army takeover it wouldn't have happened. The fact that its normal for this to happen isn't mentioned at all in the article.

    In defense of the fly fishing club

    I'd also agree that this forum acts as a 3rd space, along with some of my other online forums/chats. I'd love for more in person interaction but I find, for myself, that its too easy for things to become 'chores' and then I don't want to do them anymore (this is the problem with anything that...

    PNW Flood Watch - Dec 8-12, 2025

    The way that article's title is worded sounds like SLP & PSE weren't going to do anything to control the flooding, which I'm positive is not the case. But hey, throwing more sticks on the culture war fire never hurt anything right!

    In defense of the fly fishing club

    Completely agree. If young people aren't joining your club the problem isn't young people, its that your club isn't set up in a way that attracts young people. I always hear that 'young people aren't interested in fly fishing' but I see a ton of young people out on the river fly fishing, which...

    In defense of the fly fishing club

    Agree with a lot of things that people have already said. When I moved up to Whidbey last year I decided that a fly fishing club might be a good way to meet people. Looked into the couple that are near me and quickly came to the conclusion that they weren't going to work. They all had a...

    Looking at Drift Boats

    Thanks, I think being able to put a small electric or gas motor on it would be nice for some of the lakes near me.

    Looking at Drift Boats

    I'm actually on board with the be able to launch it and go yourself, I just think that part of my deciding to go for the drift boat is that I don't actually think I want to deal with that most of the time when I go to the river. For context, I'm on Whidbey, so a boat I can launch and take out on...
