Pretty sure you got your money's worth out of that knee.

Fuck dude. What a bummer!! Lots of dudes still tearing shit up with faux/reimagined ligaments, and i bet you can be one of them. Heal well buddy

Pesquire, If you will.

Interesting thought.... a big ol bass might have inhaled and broke off an amount of Texas rigged worms in its day. Who's to say a couple ounces of tungsten couldn't naturally end up in a bass belly?

This is the only sport where lead is a performance enhancing drug.

Hold on tight!!! Beautiful

You could swing that on a sink tip, that wiggle is sculpin gold! Sweet tie!

Drop your pots wherever there's a decent bit of rock to the bottom. They burrow underneath them and can often be caught by sticking a fishing net behind a big rock and flipping it towards you. They'll shoot backwards away from you and right into the net.

Those minnow traps are great and they work. I've used canned tuna with some holes punched in either side to great success. When I was a kid we had a pond filled with crayfish. Wed trap them all summer and fill ziploc bags of tail meat in the freezer for use as shrimp replacement. They get...

The jigs I've seen used in this method involve a decent bit of marabou and bunny fur, stuff that moves even when it's still. Something buggery with a marabou tail and a dubbing loop of bunny fur for the hackle would probably to the trick. Balanced or not, probably doesn't matter. They use long...

Do it. Find the meat eaters. If you've been traditionally single hand fishing, you just opened up a bunch of new water. Do your normal stuff on your normal water. Swing the swing stuff. Catch em all.

Thank you for the time you've repeatedly taken to educate us about our favorite stream. Seriously, your knowledge and experience with the basin is incredible, and I wish SCL could carve a chunk of that money for you to work with. From what it sounds like, the mitigations that could be done for...

@Matt B are there any nice resident trout left in the skagit? 🤣🤣🤣

You are certainly more well versed in the subject than I am, and i likely come off pretty ignorant in my conclusions. My thoughts are that naturally there is a hell of a lot more gravel and wood coming down from the upper half (more?) of the watershed, and that more would benefit the bug...

That is incredibly cool on the bull trout moving through the baker system! Do we know why this system isn't working well for steelhead and other anadromous fishies? Or have the changes made also benefited them and I haven't heard about it? Fully agree about the gorge dam fish passage being a...

I'm not sure how similar the issues facing coastal bulls vs inland bulls are. For me, inland bulls are clearly being limited by fragmented habitat and warming waters. For much of the year the mainstem of many columbia tribs are in a lethal temperature range for bulls. Mix in inability to move...

Second going down to confluence and plunking down some dough. Brandon knows his beach fishing better than anyone else I know from up here and they are both Grade A dudes

Radical proposal: Starting March 15, there's 46 days of fishing until April 30. Projections was 4225, which to my mouth says 2250 steelhead could be caught and released this season. To put 3 "monitors" on the river every day, that's 138 monitor days. Someone from marblemount to concrete...

Washington is and always will be a resource extraction state. We are currently the resource de jour.
