    PNW Flood Watch - Dec 8-12, 2025

    Looks like the gauge at concrete on the skagit already peaked for today. 'only' 28 feet so not as bad as the first predections. That 40.65 on Thursday morning is looking bad still though.

    NRS Approach 100 Fishing Raft vs Watermaster Kodiak

    Do you sit higher in the NRS? It looks like it but I can't tell. Thats another of my complaints about the WM, can't see shit.

    NRS Approach 100 Fishing Raft vs Watermaster Kodiak

    I'm only 6' and creeping up on 200, the Kodiak is great. For floating rivers I like the hole in the floor, lets me wash my boots off but also helps maneuver when its a little too shallow. Storage is decent behind the seat, it dry enough back there and I've never had any issue losing things, it...

    Annual favorite fish of the year thread.

    First salty bull for sure: There were some nice coho in Neah bay that may be runners up, but this was just a cool first.

    LAST MINUTE NORTH SOUND: Lagers & Letters with TU (skagit CnR season, etc)

    This was a good overview on whats going on with Quicksilver and steelhead on the North Sound rivers. Sounds like the January-March 2026 season would take an act of god to make happen, and theres not a ton of hope for the January - March 2027 season either. There have been positive responses from...

    LAST MINUTE NORTH SOUND: Lagers & Letters with TU (skagit CnR season, etc)

    There is another one of these tonight at Farmstrong in Mt. Vernon: https://us17.campaign-archive.com/?u=24abc5fc5d5d8831c58523e9c&id=44ef5f12c2 My wife told me I should go, probably just a sneaky excuse to get rid of me for a few hours but I'll take the excuse to grab a beer.

    NFR AI - How It Will Affect Jobs In The Next 5 years

    Representations of "AI" in media are older than anyone here: I've been around what we are now calling AI for a while, tangentially people I knew were doing stuff with early NL stuff in the early 2000s when I was in undergrad at Georgia Tech. As I've worked in tech fields over the past couple...

    Coho 2025

    With the skagit closed I decided to take turkey day to check out the nook since I've never fished it and I figured the lack of access would be less of an issue on the holiday. Saw a coho rolling but none to hand. Did make contact with a good amount of chum swinging a fly, and by the middle of...

    Pass Lake Toxic Algae report.

    I haven't driven off the island since sunday. I asked my wife for a report and she said she didn't think the barrels were there but she wasn't actually paying attention. So no real news. I might make a trip one way or the other tomorrow to get a look.

    Getting started with fly tying

    Hareline has a basic starter kit with and without tools. I got the one without tools when I was starting and found it helpful. Comes with a book with some common patterns that all use different techniques and all the materials you need for them. I found that an easy way to start, the problem...

    Affordable places you would actually want to live

    Basically went through this a couple years ago, although there are no kids in our house. Wife wanted to leave Portland because she was tired of living in the city. She wanted more winter and neither one of us wanted to move to the east. Also needed to be closer to her family in Vancouver. I...

    Now Oregon just needs to build its own FishOregon app and I won't need to get the stupid PDF I can never find anything in.

    FS 3 Trout Spey Rods: ACR, TFO, ARE

    Does the handle section just plug into the 4th section? Thats pretty nifty. Also now I wonder: is the handle the 1st section or is the rod tip the 1st section?
