I've been enjoying hiking smaller rivers/creeks this summer and have not yet been to a high lake. Last year I went to 5 or 6 so I'm a bit behind and with a baby on the way, fall plans that will be focused on the two hander, this was one of the few weekends I had to spare to stock my lone lake...

I know that trail. I helped stock one of the many lakes in that area last year. Lots to choose from, looked like a fun trip.

OnX hunt has pretty much everything you need, don't see the need to look elsewhere. I do use Gaia for off trail stuff if I'm getting way out there but you could also use OnX backcountry.

Ended an unproductive session. Snapped in the butt section not sure how that happens

I went to the same festival with my wife and her parents, hope you had a good time! Pretty solid lineup I thought.

The Twin Lakes Cutthroat, which are a good portion of the cutthroat in WA high lakes have been historically great at finding the tiniest of flow and spawning area. The lake was probably stocked with them at one point and are now supplemented with Mt. Whitney or Triploid rainbows because there's...

A lot of those rivers over there are also closed to protect bull trout, Nason Creek for instance below the falls. Chiwawa River has a healthy population of bull trout over there though so must be steelhead or chinook. I looked at a place to buy a few years ago on Nason Creek which gets extremely...

Inexpensive route, Wrangler makes a synthetic pant called ATG synthetic utility pant and they’re good. They’re on Amazon and I think Walmart around $35. Expensive route, Kuiu Tiburon.

Yep, that’s what we did with coon shrimp. Not as productive as it was on the opener apparently but we still landed quite a bit. Lost a few. I took home three, six seemed like an awful lot. Couple of hot ones that fought but yeah not much feel in the fight but it was fun and more importantly I...

I like the handy pak nets. I bring them on backpacking trips and fly with them for other outings

Got invited to go out tomorrow with a coworker and his sons. Leaving his house in Stanwood at 2AM, yikes! Sadly, I know nothing other than fly fishing. It's time to learn and get some new skills.

$60, I have longer hair. I've tried the big box places and local barbershops around me and end up looking like Lord Farquaad so I pay more and get a cut every 3-4 months.

Did some blue lining in Snohomish County yesterday. I didn’t land a ton of fish and didn’t find what I was looking for but found two rainbows that I would consider “nice fish” for a west side creek. Was a lot of fun on the 3wt glass.

Great weather today and tomorrow 😎

I got one from a forum member and use it quite a bit. Definitely would recommend the fins if you’re doing stillwater. Really enjoy how easy it is to transport, like it a lot.

Wow that's huge for that lake! Mellow hike but that road has seen better days. That lake is all natural reproduction with mainly coastal cutthroat but there's definitely some mixed Westslope/Yellowstone cutthroat genetics. It was stocked in 1970 with Westslopes from Twin Lakes and Yellowstone...

Nice write up and photos! They have me excited to return to Greece next month. My wife is from Leonidio so I've been spoiled with a lot of time spent over there in the Peloponnese region. Montenegro looks great and is close, hope to check that region out at some point.

Yes

Can’t comment on the Patagonia’s but I’m sure they’re great, I’ll probably get them when I ruin my current pair. I use the Orvis ultralights when I’m putting in miles and they work perfectly fine. Rubber Vibram sole which yeah is slippery but that’s why you put studs in them. Makes all the...

Sad how bad things are for the Skagit, Stilly, and Snoho system which are my home waters. I have nothing to add that hasn’t already been discussed before other than more continued disappointment. It’s hard for a newer angler to get excited about our angling opportunities in comparison to how...
