As someone passionate about our native fish, I am willing to pay slightly higher taxes to ensure my kids and grandkids can see and fish for them. As someone who works in construction management, I can assure you that the cost of construction has absolutely nothing to do with Washingtons insane...

Here I was feeling guilty for spending $100 on a new click/pawl

There were in fact patrolling seals!

Picked up a custom rod from @Wetswinger and it is a work of art. Can't wait to try casting it. Now I just need to find a good deal on a Click/Pawl reel, time to start hitting the thrift shops!

Starlink is great. Used it on a few flights this year, the internet was better than the land based internet available at the Doha airport. I was telling family/friends "hold on, I'll text you after my plane takes off". Imagine that

I have this on my phone but it is far from fool proof, especially when you are in the trees. I understand the inReach is a little more powerful, and most importantly the battery far longer lasting

I might need to pick up a 6pc CT 5wt as a travel rod, didn’t know they came in 6 pieces

Bottom left is my favorite too, funny enough it was the first of the batch. Bottom right was the last, and I think it’s the only one I wouldn’t have confidence in the water with haha

I got it to give away as a gift for secret Santa at work and thought I’d throw some flies in. I almost didn’t want to give it away haha. Merry Christmas to you too

my ugly trio of elk hair caddis. First time tying dries and first time using a dubbing loop.

You're right, now that I remember I was totally high sticking the fish. That's how I was taught to fight fish on downriggers when using barbless hooks but of course that is totally different fishing. At one point I had the rod pointed somewhat downwards but at no point did I try side pressure...

I managed maybe 4 or 5 resident trout outings but had some of the most fun I've had fishing in a long time doing it. I got into four fish, all smaller than 10 inches and loved it. My 6wt Echo Boost Blue was definitely overkill but the fish were still fun. I think I can definitely justify the...

I have so far landed two salmon on a 6wt rod. The ones I lost came off from bad strip sets. The resi in my profile pic played a bad move and ran towards the beach, giving me enough leverage to beach him. The other fish was a humped up pink male off my boat. This one was a lot harder to land, he...

Am I just cynical/misinformed or is this nothing more than a vague commitment to take WDFW at their word for? I don't really see any specific policy proposals here like retention closures, survey/statistical methodology to determine what rivers can and can't support harvest, or anything concrete

I have yet to find a spinning reel I like more than the Shimano Sahara 2500. Buttery smooth, plenty of drag for most salmon.

Proud to represent the small contingent of regular contributors in their mid 20s 😎 It's funny, as I have gotten older it's been the opposite for me. As a kid I loved slow paced single player games but now I rarely play video games except to connect with friends

Ran into @Kfish and @jasmillo while on a getaway with my gf. Coincidentally at the same time I was ready to throw a line. They didn’t have luck with any cuttys and neither did I, but I did surprise myself with a nice sized starry flounder. I learned that my one hand netting needs a lot of work.

I caught the coho in my profile picture doing just that actually

Any rebuttals for that argument btw? The more I think about it the more not fishing in April kinda makes sense

My buddy who's an on-call oiler at the ferry's tells me the Jumbo MKII's are the nicest and his favorite to work on. Good craftsmanship!
