My routine for bringing home dinner: 1. Bring cooler with ice 2. Catch a fish 3. Insert knife through one side of gills and out the other. Slice throat and let blood spray out. Don't bonk first. Want a strong heart beat... 4. Rinse in water to encourage more blood flow 5. Toss on ice 6. Repeat...

OK, sawzall for the win. I could do this. Think I'll try both of his methods next chance I get. Heading out next week for 5 days of hunting - so hopefully it happens then...

Would this work or do you still need the saw?

I usually de-bone, but might have to pull out the old hacksaw and give it a shot.

Timing is key in the deep pools. Fish them during and after a big rain event. Fish are moving and become more aggressive - especially as the water drops and they work out the pecking order for best holding water. And this goes with your comment about comfort vs being on alert/defensive.

Never tried it. Details? What cut and how to prepare?

I've been fishing jigs for salmon and steelhead since the 90s. I fish different ways depending on type of fish, type of water, visibility, flows, etc. One technique i came up with years ago was this method of sort of back bouncing the jig into a hole. You position yourself upstream of where you...

I drove over Washington Pass this weekend. Never saw it so packed. Every trailhead parking lot was overflowing. Several had cars lined up over a mile along the highway. Blue Lake, Rainy Lake, and a few others. Insanity. On the flipside, we drove a little further and had our pick of free...

Dang, can you tell what caliber? I do something similar. I love venison. I tend to have 3 piles as I break down each quarter. Any bigger piece gets turned into a 1 inch steak. Anything that can't be a steak, even a small one, typically goes into the burger pile for the grinder. 3rd pile is...

Been out scouting for some new mule deer hunting spots.

N Fork Snoqualmie - but a little too close to town for my taste...

I'm with you that. Trout on a stick is the way to go. That smokey flavor and crispy skin is hard to beat. And the smaller stunted brookies are the best - no big bones to worry about, just strip out that head and backbone and enjoy!!

I have been meaning to try grouse with my regular store bought slingshot. Would be cool to build one and use it as well.

Epic. I used to think it didn't get any better than just me and my perfect small river chasing aggressive fish with nobody around for miles. The stuff of dreams. But this right here is the kind of thing that quickly puts that into perspective. My kids aren't so little anymore, but I cherish...

I don't recall anyone getting naked. Maybe I didn't watch season 2. A few times dudes strip down to go swim or bathe - but typically the point is to show how much weight they lost since they started. Usually they lose quite a bit in just 3 or 4 weeks. Some end up getting pulled out early...

Yeah, the hair was a good creative idea, but ultimately wasn't much of an impact. He would have been better off using grouse feathers and squirrel fur.

As a side conversatino to this post: https://pnwflyfishing.com/forum/index.php?threads/usless-hunting-fishing-report.6101/ I wanted to bring up a few things: 1) Anyone watch Alone Season 9 where they were limited to 'fly fishing only' up on Labrador for beautiful brook trout? My kids and I...

The speed of the kayak is primarily based on the design. I had a feelfree kayak with custom electric motor and it was a barge. My old town 120 PDL is slow, but ran circles around that thing. My wilderness tarpon 120 is speedy, but no stability and not comfortable for more than a few hours...
