Fort Casey or Driftwood Park are good spots and close to each other. Usually enough room to spread out. Maxwelton is small and usually crowded.

It was smaller than I wanted to deal with.

I'd never tried snaring crabs before and was a bit skeptical. My wife and I spent 3 hour on a popular salmon beach here on Whidbey Island. We snared 3 in about 3 hours All males but unfortunately they were all too small. I only took enough bait to fill the snares once and we ran out so had to...

Thanks all. I had some limited success in the past with crab snares. I guess I wasn't aware that crab season was open.

I have never paid much attention to the fishing pier at the Mukilteo ferry until yesterday. There were several people at the pier. About half had what looked to be around 10 foot fishing rods and the rest had ropes tied off in front of where they were standing. What are they after? I was already...

My Fishcat4 float tube calls for 1.8 PSI. The instructions say "A good rule for gauging proper pressure is to push down with your thumb at the center of the tube. If you can deflect about a half an inch from the top plane of the tube, it will be close to 1.8psi". I've also watched a couple...

I've been thinking of trying to come up with a way to see where I am going when fishing from my float tube. I thought about getting one of the mirrors bicyclists use that attaches to your glasses. I always wear sun glasses so it seems like a good solution. Has anyone come up with a solution...

I've always fished Pass Lake with a full sinking line and mostly leech and nymph patterns. The last two times I fished Pass, in the past week, I noticed some guys fishing with dry flies along the shore line. Is it worth fishing with some dry fly patterns? I've always had good luck with leech and...

It was tough winter. I lost 2 colonies in January. I replaced them with Nucs from Stanwood Bee Company. They are doing well as of today.

I have 3 hives this year on Whidbey Island. Snohomish Bee Company is a good source of information and equipment in your area.

My neighbors drove past Pass Lake yesterday and said it was green and nobody fishing. I was thinking of heading up there soon so has anyone else noticed anything at Pass?

Have you tried cold proofing in the refrigerator? It works well for me. I also use a banneton to proof and it seems to give a nice shape.

I've used one on lakes. It seems like it keeps the fly deeper during the retrieve as compared to my straight sinking line but that is hard to judge. I have there SA and I like the way it casts and it has two nice big hang markers that help determine line still in the water.

Spoken for. That went in a hurry. Theron

I won this a couple of years ago and have never used it. I have a supply of dubbing in colors that I use so this is free to anyone who would like it.

I was drafted

I'v had good luck for salmon at that "9/10ths of the law" beach. Never tried it for SRC. Thanks, I'll give it a try.

I live on the island and have mostly fished for Salmon on the beaches here. Most of my fly fishing on the island has been on the lakes for rainbows and browns. I usually went to the OP when I wanted to fish for SRC but the ferry is not all that reliable. Has any one been successful and fishing...

I am fairly new to the area and Salmon fishing. I keep seeing people post about catching rezzies. How do you determine if it is a rezzie or a wild or a factory salmon?

I have been fishing Whidbey Island beaches since I moved here 9 year ago. I tend to avoid Lagoon Point and Bush Point because of the crowds. Driftwood seems to fish best at low tides especially with a fly rod because of the piles of driftwood that like to catch flies. You might try Ebey's...
