Hey everybody. I am going to be moving back to Washington from Minnesota. I have been chasing muskies and tigers out here, and would like to do so back home as well. From my research, it looks like Merwin and Mayfield have rainbow trout, kokanee, chinook salmon, pikeminnow, as well as yellow...

Gotta give it a one count before you set. Just like dry flies with trout.

They have no bearing on what's actually right or wrong. History shows as much, ad nauseam.

Until those start getting netted and sold commercially! For now, bucket mouths are safe.

I live in another state; I grew up here and am back frequently. I can criticize whatever I want; it's a free country. I have the right to do that and so do you. As far as courts upholding their treaty rights, that doesn't mean squat. Something is either right or wrong, good or bad, regardless...

Nobody said they wouldn't have evolved their methods and techniques. I'm pointing out that what is going on today has nothing to do with tradition; it has to do with money.

Think pink!

What are you talking about? The Natives fish from 28 foot boats with twin 300 horse power motors, with all the latest electronics, as part of a tradition stretching back thousands of years.

I've been seriously fishing for salmon for almost 20 years now. The last eight years, I've lived in Minnesota and come back one or two weeks a summer and fish hard while I'm here. My dad lives here and fishes hard. When I compare the regs to what I remember from ten or fifteen years ago, we have...

Yeah, doesn't make sense. Maybe they weren't aware of all the identifiers

I think they probably fileted it out there. Maybe a weird fileting technique

Heading in about an hour ago, I noticed a chinook tail laying on the beach. Probably 10-15 pound fish Chinook ain’t open in that area. Fucking assholes. When we got in we asked some dudes that had been out there if they caught a king and they said “no, I don’t think so”

Tied on a shank; split ringed on a treble with one hook point cut off

I also tie a shank right off the back of the hook to extend the body quite a bit. It looks unnatural if I don’t on a 10 or 12 inch fly. All tail otherwise I tried the foam trick on a fly last night. I’m gunna see how it fishes. I might break out my knife and cut some away on the water

Musky fool is awesome. I try and buy all my stuff from them. They' really helpful too. You would probably like their podcast Clarkman; it's called "The Spot Burn Podcast"

Good idea. I watched some awhile ago. He's a good tier.

I am trying to up my walk the dog game. What fly characteristics have you found to give a great walk the dog motion for larger flies? Thanks, Nick

I ended up finding a line that fits my needs and was slightly on sale. Thanks guys
