    Washingtonians- Do you like where you live? Either way, why?

    Agreed. I was thinking the same thing when picking my preferred destinations. Never going to be more land, only people...

    Washingtonians- Do you like where you live? Either way, why?

    Currently living 5 min north of Woodinville in unincorporated Snohomish County (Tax break :). Love the area! 5-45 min to my favorite spots on the local S rivers, Puget Sound, Mountain Passes, Big City life and rural communities. With nearly every northwestern blue ribbon fly water being a days...

    Where did it start?

    In my youth I used to ride my bike down to the the docks around lake Washington and dabble a worm on an eagle claw for perch and bass. In the late 70's, every year my dad and his brothers would round up us kids and head to Montana to fly fish the various rivers. Spent a lot of time walking the...

    Devin Olsen's 2022 World Fly Fishing Championship Write up

    Really spot on questions, Phil. The competition sections were closed though out the practice stage, so no issue there. I agree that the success was driven by the luck of the draw as the same sections appeared to fish better day after day. Some guys get the 100yd par 3 and some guys get the par...

    Devin Olsen's 2022 World Fly Fishing Championship Write up

    In the 2018 US Championship we fished the "little" Deschutes between Little Lava Lake and Crane. The deepest spot on my beat was maybe 3ft. Just a trickle. While I did land a massive whitey in my section it was tough sledding with 5X tippet. Probably needed to size down to 6x or 7x to get the...

    BC trip (7 days and lots of pics!)

    Meadow Lake fish camp was a great place for home base on this trip. The Staff was awesome and truly good people. I would recommend this lodge to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area. The grins were plastered on our faces throughout, the fish were hard fighting and plentiful even in...

    BC trip (7 days and lots of pics!)

    Day one heading to Posby. Shane was a such a great host. A spectacular thunderstorm hit the lake on our first full day and we of course waited till the last possible moment to take cover. Shane had us weather out the storm in one of his trailers at the lake. He informed us that a lightning...

    Particularly Memorable Takes

    I can recall hooking a monster 20 or so years ago at the base of "The Wall" that absolutely kicked my ass off the take. If you've had the pleasure of fishing here you already know that this place is a rare gem. Threw a cast to within 3' of the shear rock face plunging into maybe 5' of water...

    Prescription Sunglasses

    It was pretty easy. I already get my prescription glasses there. just picked out a frame/style and had them in a week or two. I would suggest not going with the photochromic lenses on the sun glasses(darken in the sun) as they don't darken in the car when driving. Something about the light...
