    Puget Sound

    More Hood Canal disappointment for me. Fished two beaches and visited one day before yesterday around sunset. No chum fry in sight. One beach had a cutthroat or resident coho crash bait right next to me but he moved on quick. Gorgeous views though! Might try the west side next time- I imagine...

    Puget Sound

    Wanted to go South but my buddy was too busy for it and I felt like I needed some social fishing today, so stayed local. Saw one jump but no takes. Saw three sea lions when I got down (Time change screwed us both and we were late haha) and there was a super nice baitball where they were feeding...

    Marine Area 9 - I need your help

    It's been a while but the last study I saw on Puget Sound Chinook reduction in size showed them similar to other groups, yet typically fishing WCVI the average size of fish I encounter has been much larger. By Blackmouth I am referring to resident Chinook that spend their lives in Salish Sea...

    Marine Area 9 - I need your help

    And to add on to that, a good portion of the catch in mid July are Blackmouth. There are nice fish around but most of the fish I see at the dock are 4-8lbs. One particularly good day of fishing at Area 10 I decided I wanted to sort through all the Blackmouth and find a big one. I lost one that...

    Warm Late March Domestic Fishing Vacation Destinations

    My GF's spring break is coming up and I have some PTO saved, so we want to travel. It's been a long time since I cast a line and I would like to incorporate some fishing into it. Unfortunately, my GF currently does not have a passport and likely won't have time to get one before our trip, and...

    WDFW did not request funding for a 2027 Skagit-Sauk season

    I would gladly pay a large "Puget Sound Steelhead Endorsement" stamp if it meant preserving this opportunity as well as boosting hatchery plants in whatever system WDFW legally is able to.

    Wanting to get into SRC

    If you find yourself at a beach with SRC ingredients (Pebbles, moving water, a small creek dumping into the salt) I think it is still worth trying around now even in North Sound. There is a central/north sound beach that I fish that fishes completely differently to the typical May-August peak...

    Launching at Cornet Bay

    We took our 25' Defiance through deception pass an hour or so around the slack tide, and while the boat had no issue you absolutely feel the impact of the current. Please note that slack tide is NOT at the same time as low/high tide. Deepzoom is a good resource for figuring out when is safe to...

    500 Steelhead back to Reiter Ponds

    Looking through old escapement reports, it appears that Summer/Winter escapement in the past 4 years have been relatively similar (Maybe time for me to brush up on my R/Excel skills and do an actual statistical analysis...). I did not realize that Summer plants were roughly a fifth of winter...

    500 Steelhead back to Reiter Ponds

    Kinda sad to read the report closer and see only 67 of those 537 fish were spawned.

    NFR Superb Owl 2026: Seahawks vs Patriots (official thread)

    I am an extremely casual football watcher trying to get more into it. I do think I would've appreciated this game more if I had a deeper understanding of defense

    NFR Superb Owl 2026: Seahawks vs Patriots (official thread)

    I've gotta be honest- as a game this was one of the more boring ones I have watched. 4 field goals and no touchdowns till the 3rd quarter. But winning another superbowl takes me back to being 12 after Super Bowl XLVIII and seeing everyone around me so ecstatic about our home team winning. What...

    500 Steelhead back to Reiter Ponds

    Isn't the production currently capped by a wild fish group lawsuit?

    500 Steelhead back to Reiter Ponds

    There is a thread on this somewhere but Reiter is very much not going away, and I believe was in fact actively being refurbished.
