    Ran into @Kfish and @jasmillo while on a getaway with my gf. Coincidentally at the same time I was ready to throw a line. They didn’t have luck with any cuttys and neither did I, but I did surprise myself with a nice sized starry flounder. I learned that my one hand netting needs a lot of work.

    2025/2026 OP SteelHead Rules

    Any rebuttals for that argument btw? The more I think about it the more not fishing in April kinda makes sense

    My buddy who's an on-call oiler at the ferry's tells me the Jumbo MKII's are the nicest and his favorite to work on. Good craftsmanship!

    I’m a little confused what this topic has to do with climate change and the Seattle times. King tides are not caused by climate change. Climate change is causing rising sea levels. Rising sea levels means king tides will be more likely to cause damage to property. Has the Seattle times said...

    Bainbridge vs Vashon Island Sea Run Cutthroat

    Let’s say someone’s girlfriend wants to do an island retreat for a weekend and let’s say they’re also okay with you bringing a rod and fishing for a little bit. They’ve suggested cabins in Bainbridge island and Vashon island, both places with beaches you’ve considered fishing out of, which would...

    My PB SRC was snagged on a blue box. I am pretty convinced he must have slapped it with his tail or something because I can't really think of how else I would snag a fish off a beach unless I casted into a school consisting of every Cutthroat in the Sound

    @Northern gave me my first fly casting lesson maybe…4 years ago now? It’s something I’m grateful for every time I fly fish. It helped me tremendously and was a very kind gesture. (One of many I’ve received from members of this community) The reason I mention that lesson is because I remember...

    Pretty view but awful fishing. Wind kept changing directions making it harder to cast, fewer fish jumping around than Friday and just as reluctant to take a fly. Made a new friend though, he wasn’t having much luck either

    Very frustrating morning for me. Tons of fish sipping and jumping at the surface very close to shore, one was very very large. Unfortunately, it seemed that nothing in my fly box worked.Tried the Euphasid I tied, a Euphasid from Gig Harbor Fly shop, Miawaki Popper, Gurgler, a sparse shrimp fly...

    @Stonedfish I hope you believe that imitation is the highest form of flattery, because I liked your Euphasid fly so much I had to make my own version with what I had lying around

    Version 1.1 of the fly I’ve decided to name the Chum Bunny. Tied the crosscut and ice dub loosely following this video from Spawn and I think the diagonal wrap looks much better than simply layering it

    SWW Salmon Adventure

    Southwest Washington is a place I’ve been meaning to explore for a long time. Access is difficult, but rivers and fish are plenty. Yesterday I finally decided to make the trek in hopes of encountering the late run coho that supposedly enter rivers there. I did not encounter any, either because...

    Hit the local for a couple hours on the incoming today! Pretty cool to see how the fish shift depending on tide. Day started great at the walk, seeing some very large porpoises in the distance surfacing. I wondered if they were Orcas but despite the unusually large size they did not have fins...
