    Weather Trend

    I fished a popular higher elevation lake last week (rhymes with Chewbacca) - it was slow because of winds, but the last day was pretty good. no crowds.

    aluminum boat options

    yes, I fish the sound - typically areas 9,10 and 11. and usually from July - September. I spend most of my early spring and the fall fly fishing. I would pull the boat to central Columbia River locations such as Vernita, Richland, Wenatchee and as far as Wells dam and up to Brewster. I don't...

    aluminum boat options

    all great info - exactly what I was looking for. I've been a guest on a few aluminum boats, so I understand the basics. not going to be doing any fly fishing (I got other boats for that) or going over any bars (that's what Charter boats are for). this boat will be for salmon meat fishing - down...

    aluminum boat options

    hello folks: I plan to be in the market soon for an aluminum boat to fish the salt water, plus rivers - mainly the Columbia, and I would like some feedback. My basic needs: 18'-20' foot prefer an outboard based on my budget (20-25K), the hull is going to be early 2000's, but with a newer...

    Best taste/value cut and method to cook a steak...

    I'll chime in: Tenderloin from Owens Butcher in Cle Elum. cooked on the grill to desired doneness. yes, it does need to be seasoned properly and I agree with getting the meat to room temp before cooking. Another one I like are the kalbi flank steaks from QFC. they run them thru their...

    Lazy spin fishermen get their just deserts.

    if that fish hit what's on the end of those lines, they would be gone!

    Non-Fly 2024 Summer Salmon

    I fished the bay this morning as well, but we launched from the river under the 1st Ave Bridge early. talked with one guy who said they arrived at 5:45 and the gate was open at Don Armeni launch.. So I don't really know what time it actually opened. how was the fishing? slow. 4 shakers in the...

    Don Armeni Boat Launch Lockdown

    revisiting this to see if there are any updates that people can share. I just emailed the West Seattle blog and asked them the same question. if nothing is adjusted for this weekend, I think the area is going to be a mess and short tempers will be coming out.

    Puget Sound

    sorry, but I'm confused as I thought the sound was closed for kings at this time. I do like the fish though.

    Green River Fish Counter

    this is pretty cool. I'm a bit surprised they are that far into the river system as it is still July. I figured they would be staying ( hoping actually) in the salt longer with this warm weather and low flows.

    Don Armeni Boat Launch Lockdown

    not surprised either. old timers (like me!) know how to jump the curb to get to the launch. unless they install barricades to either side of the entry or exit gates. the bay opens up in 2 weeks for one weekend of fishing. its gonna be a zoo dp
