Good info all! Thanks for the pointers. That's enough to get me into a youtube rabbit-hole. Between that and a couple shop visits, we'll see how it ends up. I've got other family near Portland, so that'll make a few days straight fishing easier. Glad to hear that the Columbia can still put out...

Without thinking too hard about it, I decided my "entertaining" new years resolution was to catch all five pacific salmon species in 2025 without a guide. I've had enough success with King/Coho/Chum/Pink that I'm not sweating those, either by fly or conventional gear. However, my plan starts to...

Nice! Giving hope to those of us still flailing away! 0-5 on my pre-workday beach runs the last couple weeks. And to anybody fishing Seattle's favorite pink park (think "presidential") there's been a handful of washed up ratfish carcasses that make an interesting sight. I'll have to snag a pic...

Hiked to a certain WA grayling lake this summer. The grayling were really cool, but after one I figured I had my fill and switched to the most ridiculous thing in my box: a little black and yellow panfish popper. Every spot I fished I got a hit or an aerial take from some alpine cutthroat on my...
