    Winter Warmwater Fishing.

    I fished a popular SW WA lake recently. For reason only the fish know, I think every Crappie, Bluegill and Perch jam themselves into a 1/4 mile section of a certain canal during the winter (trust me it is no secret, just motor around until you see a fleet of boats). Although it can be a...

    Road Trip Lake recommendations?

    From my understanding it’s not like it used to be 10 years ago. But a group of us still make the 12 hour drive and fish it every year and have a great time. It’s not overly technical. We mostly fish buggers, leeches and bait fish patterns. It’s a fun lake to fish!

    The Positivity Thread

    In the spirit of this thread. If anyone is interested sometime next year (free)- I’m not a guide and will also be fishing on this trip 😂. I’ll even throw in a box of mostly jig leeches. Let me know if anyone is interested. Happy Holidays.

    Lawsuit Against Fly Fishing Only Waters

    Before I started fly fishing I was really into light tackle spin fishing for trout. I really disliked the idea of fly fishing only lakes. I went as far as writing a letter to WDFW suggesting they switch the local fly fishing only lake to a selective gear lake. “Elitist” fly fishermen really...

    Black Friday Jumbo Trout

    The below is all in jest…😆 Since this is the “Lakes” section and I fish lakes a lot, I feel the need to defend lakes. On the west side your 10” rainbow in moving water is probably a Steelhead smolt and probably should be left alone. To reiterate, the above is just flipping you good nature...

    Are fly fishing magazines a thing again?

    I was strolling down an aisle at the local grocery store and was surprised when I saw this- There were 7 fly fishing magazines. I thought magazines were dead 😁.

    Shad smolt migration

    From my observations the shad smolt outmigration starts in mid August and peaks at the end of September. A little below where you were fishing was good for bass and Pikeminnow in early October.

    Reel ID

    I’m helping a family friend go through their dad’s stuff. Can anyone identify some of these reels. The Orvis reels are there only ones that have markings telling what they are. The others have no identifying marks on them.
