Now that I'm retired, I want to check something off my bucket list. I'm looking for recommendations for a steelhead fishing lodge on the Skeena River for the late summer run. I've looked at quite a few, but I'd like some recommendations from someone that's been up there. Thanks all.

Things have changed quite a bit financially speaking since you were here, Jerry.

I am the PL. We still have a lot of tying materials, but not the materials for the most popular flies for this area. Those we've used up in our classes.

No, we do not have a physical address here locally. If you do send a check directly to PHWFF HQ in Maryland, I would appreciate you including a note to them requesting your donation be applied to the JBLM program. Thank you to everyone for their support.

Here is the form for making a monetary donation. The address is at the bottom of the form.

Sure, if I can remember where I put them last. :unsure:

Yes, there are a couple of ways, LRS. I can send you a form via email where you list the amount you're comfortable with donating, or I can snail mail you a donation envelope if you wish to write a check. If you PM me your email address, I'll forward the form to you.

Thanks, Josh. I edited the OP to fix it, too.

Greetings fellow fishers, This past weekend, the Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing Program at Joint Base Lewis-McChord launched a Facebook fundraiser to help generate funds to support our local program enabling us to conduct more activities, such as fishing events, rod building, and fly tying...

Hey Jojo, JodyRay is actually the name of my boat, in honor of my parents. My name is Rick. I'm looking forward to putting some personalities to screen names.

I'm in.

I'm planning a trip for a handful (6-8) of disabled veterans from Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing to fish the Deschutes late May/early June 2023. I'd like to hire guides for a day or partial day. Any recommendations? Is Madras or Maupin any better than the other?

I have two pairs of boots, one pair a size larger for summer wear, the other 2 sizes larger for winter wear with more socks. They're both BOA, but I try to pull the cable as open as possible to allow my foot to slip in, but it's still a pain in the ass at times. I read somewhere years ago some...

Is there a trick to sliding the neoprene stocking-foot of waders into a wading boot without it sticking and forcing your toes to get cramped and crushed? I've worn stocking-foot waders for years but have always had a hard time getting the stocking-foot to easily slide in the boot and fit...

Please help a wounded warrior pay for her service dog. April joined Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing in December 2019 and has just recently moved to Rochester, WA, from the East Coast. Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing is a national organization dedicated to physically and emotionally...

How many kids are you teaching? Who's funding the class? Sportsman's has tool kits on sale now for $30. You might get them to donate, as well.

Thanks, all, really good stuff. I didn't think about midge spinners, a small black soft hackle is definitely worth a try, as is hanging a small leech or chironomid 1-2' below the surface. I thought about daphnia and figured if that's what they're eating, I'll just ignore them. Good point...

I'm not a regular lake fisher, but I spend a little time on them before the rivers open up. I have a small seasonal lake near me that is stocked before opening day, and I usually fish it a few days after it opens when the crowds go away. Trolling or casting and retrieving a 'bugger or leech...

I fished the Kenai the last weekend of August last year and did well on rainbows and Dollies. I can't remember the name of the guide service, but if you call Cooper's Landing, they can refer you to some good guides.

Jackson Refitt knows one.
