    Puget Sound

    Edmonds area is all about money. Has been for some time. Not the small town it used to be. We knew things were never going to be the same after developments like Emerald Hills went in.

    Puget Sound

    Not when I was a kid. That was a full time tug & oil barge operation. They wouldn’t even let us kid’s fish for pile perch on the property. Course we had multiple old docks to fish from anyways.

    Who is Wrong on This One?

    NS is a real pistol for coho off the beach. For some reason they don’t come very close to the beach much anymore, sea lions maybe ? I always end up chasing them in the lower river where they show themselves.

    Seals at the Barrier Dam

    Not surprising considering there were so many of them at the river mouth a week or so ago they blocked off the mouth from one side to the other. Sick !

    Little Update

    Nick, stick with it. Hope the best for you. My brother who recently retired from 35+ years in the Tow Boat Industry had some health issues in last 6 + years. But he stuck it out. Wishing it all goes well with you.

    Snohomish/Skykomish get screwed

    And really how much longer do you think sportsman will have a salmon fishery in the skagit with the tribes running the salmon fishery in Puget sound ? Looks like WDFW is all to happy to just step aside and let the tribes run/decide how the salmon fisheries are run.

    Snohomish/Skykomish get screwed

    The Communist/Evil tree huggers are running rampant in this state and now have basically shut down salmon fishing on the Snohomish system. Along with the Stilly shut down every year now you know they are going after the Skagit next and then onto the Green river then Puyallup, etc. No good...

    Official Beach Line Thread

    Yes i use OBS on my trout spey, 8 wt on a 4 wt spey/switch. If i was to use the OBS most of the time I would size up the line to at least a 9 wt to get a better load on the rod. And my 8 wt OBS is a tropical version so it is slicker and a little stiffer up here compared to the tropics. I think...

    Running Lines

    I use Hydra float as a running line for commando heads or any 300-380 head. Easier to handle and it floats of course it won’t shoot like mono lines. Works as a backing too.

    Go-to Trout Lake Patterns

    I use light olive to dark olive. And really like a yellow olive or just straight yellow. Try a red rib on the body too.

    Puget Sound

    Too many to name. Would like access to a beach not far away but i am not tribal. My wife & inlaws are but Montana tribal. Do need to check my local beach for chum fry as the return numbers have gotten better the last couple of years.

    Line weight/type question

    Maybe try the Outbound short in the appropriate line weight ? I bought another OBS for tropical use in a certain place because of much wind in the fall. Also can use this line on a light switch/spey rod for beach use around here.

    What’s your favorite 2wt Trout Spey?

    I use a 330 scout on my echo 4wt. Works fine. Also a OPST 300 commando. Want to get an 330 integrated line this year.

    What’s your favorite 2wt Trout Spey?

    Have an Echo 4 weight. Much more of a light steel/salmon or large trout rod. It handles salmon up to 9-10 lbs. bead head flys to light intruders or heavy stone flys. If I wanted to strictly go for trout the 2-3 weight rods would be my choice. 2 cents.
