https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/regulations/emergency-rules/much-snohomish-system-closed-until-further-notice-2023-05 Looks like WDFW put the whole system in shutdown mode, outside of that 3 day fishery memorial day weekend. Just a small stretch of the upper river open for the few summer runs that...

Here is an interesting read https://nwsportsmanmag.com/heres-lake-washingtons-next-damn-headache/ Looks like the population of shad is growing exponentially every year

This topic is pretty interesting to me. I remember when I lived on the Palouse and went down to see the fish ladder on the Snake, there would be Chinook no bigger than 10-12 inches, but looked mature enough to spawn with the dark coloration and everything. I thought that there was no way those...

Saw this last night. Fishing and hunting in this state is in serious danger. At 21, I haven't fished nearly as long as most people in here, but I could clearly see the writing on the wall. At the rate we are going, I wouldn't be surprised to see a day where I'm gonna have to hang up all my...

About 10 or so years ago I was walking around the lake and I saw guy catch a huge brown fishing those Pautzkes green label eggs off that dock near N 65th. The fish had to have been at least around 5 pounds or so.

The stocking plan for this year is now published on WDFWs website

Most forecast looks better than I expected. But the Chum forecasts for the North Sound are absolutely depressing. Only a small fraction of the run we had just 20 or so years ago.

Is that Curlew Lake in that video? If it is, that lake is full of perch and tons of stunted largies. For some reason the state decided to plant Kokanee in there from what I've heard, but I don't know if they have done well in that lake.

Put them in the smoker. I've shared smoked humpy with friends and they couldn't tell it was humpy. Although it might not matter because anything smoked tastes good though.

This is what my favorite beach is gonna look like from opening day to labor day weekend. Great place to make best friends ;).

45 days for me About 30 of those were spent in July-September in the Sound.

This past year was the first year I started fly fishing, and it's been a blast. Right now I think my new years resolution is to explore the local spots a bit more as I feel like I didn't cover much ground last year. Lots of unexplored places. Gear fishing wise, it is to hook into my first...

History. If I had the brains I would have gone for something in the sciences (like the good fisheries program they have there, or geology). But unfortunately it has always been something I really struggled in despite my interest. But maybe I'll take some fisheries classes to get reach my...

Not the best phone picture, but here is a lonely Greater white-fronted goose. A rarer find among the dozens of Canada geese that I walk past every day on the way to class at UW.

I remember that crash pretty well, as I live not far from it. At the time I was fishing at a fairly popular beach just around the corner and heard a loud booming noise, almost like a bomb exploding in the distance. Didn't think too much of it at the time. Then I realized a few hours later what...

My favorite time of year is this last half of September. Coho fishing in the Sound and watching the kings swim up my local crick are the two things I look forward to the most each year.

Nebraska is getting killed right now

Great win by the Hawks! Geno balled out tonight and those goal-line stands were huge.

Lake Washington is almost at 16k for Chinook too. Those numbers probably explain why I have seen an odd number of chinook roll right by me the past two weeks or so. Way better than forecasted. They haven't even opened the lake up in about 25 years, but when it was open it was a decent fishery...

They are all clipped. I do know that there are a decent amount of residents released at Edmonds that wander up here. I figure the same with Port Gamble, since it only a few miles away from where I'm seeing them.
