Nice selection, count me in,.love the blob

Well, for fly reels, Penn Real Lube or Loon lube. For spinning reels, used about everything synthetic on my favorite Okuma reels. Nothing seems to work with plastic gears and the stupid plastic washers and bearings always fails after about a year....even when washed after each use. Used to...

Wow, I thought this gain some interest. Bankies conserve, netting violate long standing policy and set for 5 days straight.

Sure all have absorbed the ER closures for tributaries, and most can agree to that until it rains. In Gray Harbor they left the estuary open up to above the Satsop for continued sports and netting. Not a lot a sense there. WDFW already allowed a couple weeks of 4 continuous days of netting...

It's really simple why the Chehalis tide water is open, so they can net.

I'd go with Eddie Bauer fleece lined, cozy and warm. Think this forum came up last year and not sure why folks hot on Costco. Wife says no Costco or look like everyone else in multi county.

So tell me where to buy 3/4 jig heads painted or not. Yakima twitcher heads are perfect but don't believe anyone sells just their heads.

Well, unless anyone wants to provide more info or wishes to debate on biologist science, can probably end this conversation. I think I figured the Kalama saga out after talking to Mike West. Not sure of date, but they have been trying to get rid of the Chambers Creek genetic STEELHEAD at weir...

Its interesting most of us have not fished there for years, hopefully some biologist will chime in on the history of taking most of the salmon out at weir due to genetics, and status of that science project. I know why I stopped fishing the only fly only water besides Hoko, they took all...

Friendly Phil informed me correctly they started removing an inferior genetic strain of chambers creek fish. At the weir at Modrow bridge. Not sure if that still going on, but remember that's when locals mad and most quit going do to numbers.

I used to fish summer run SH on the Kalama regularly back in the day when the upper fly water was productive and the did not segregate the natives. Also the lower section for Coho after September. Does anyone care to share what they know of the runs on the Kalama anymore? I gave up reading...

Sailor Ants, Crippled Sailor Ants

Proprietary interests so no one knows what record Coho hit. I'd tell you where I fished last week before what special pattern to use next to me. Do you not see the similarity with telling name of river or lake? Buggers or midges are good enough info for a flyfisher.

Do you have an underwater view? Got to think like a Brookie.

I don't like this forum topic. Most guys would rather tell you where to fish than what what they are using successfully. But for those who have, much appreciated.

Yea, but when he gets better he can x the splashy roll cast and just backcast twice and shoot. Not a water haul tech

Agree. Probably have done this a bunch but just cast however to load my rod up enough to get my fly to a slot with least chance of tying a knot or tangling up. Always the case when short lining nymphs, but not if lots of line downstream, when you need to strip in enough to load up a regular...

Caveat, a good source tells me federal waters means more than waters declared navigable, can mean on federal or nat park lands. The larger lakes I may use for fun are safe both ways.

Thanks for this info. Good news then for WA. 9 foot pontoons with 40 thrust electric I'd like .55 HP...so exempt. Not sure of non-federal waters, but should be safe in freshwater lakes. I'll give it it go but oars enough for most lakes and may just cost me time on lake or other fly fishing...

Sounds like a plan. Cowlitz Bottomfeeder said he has set up to let me demo. Just want to try it and toon came with a mount...that I removed for weight. Do you know if WA requires registration for any motorized boat as Triggw mentions above?
