I can verfy that does NOT work.

I put clear tygon tubing over the tips of my potatoe fork/rake when I beach crab. Covers the points making it safe. Cleared by gamie on inspection.

On a drop off AK trip years ago before cell phones, I unknowingly spilled some Ben's 100 on my plastic camera case and it melted it. Citronella candles were always buring around the cabin door entrance. Seem to help.

I have the old Hummingbird Fishn Buddy 140c and used it for years. I custom built a holder for it instead of the huge "C" clamp that came with it. Been perfect on my pontoon. Not sure how the Max compares. The 140c shoots down and has a side finder option in a split screen, I always have on. The...

What an impressive show! I was over in Grande Coulee when this rolled through Thursday night. Wind gusts shook the trailer, and the light show was spectacular.

If you call long range forecasting "Critical thinking". When the local paper, youtubers and DOE, state the sky is falling the 1st of April before the rains are complete, there needs to be some criticism of the accuracy of the reporting. I don't put too much faith in the science of long range...

Rivers bumped pretty good. Summer run time!

Will never happen without tribal approval and doubtful they want competition for elk harvests.

Sometimes you have to tell yourself, "Been there, done that". As stated, try something new. Anyone who has been around long enough to know how much better fishing was back in the day compared to now, would tell you, the spark does fade. I thought when I retired, I would be all over, fishing...

Recently acquired a Sage 10' #5 RPL from a board member here. Great rod and looking to purchase an Integrated Intermediate/sinking line for it. Upon recommendation, I purchased and have used the Rio Outbound Short WF5F/H/I intermediate head for beach SRC. Has worked well, but seems to be a...

Nor Nisqually, Green, Snoqualmie or Nooksack. Who's checking escapement? These days, WDFW surely doesn't have the $$ to support staff for that! Tribes? If they had there way, they wouldn't want us to fish for anything. Why do escapement goals matter for C&R opportunity? F ESA. IMO they are...

I would participate. Why exclude the Puyallup?

Thanks everyone! Great tips! Stonedfish set me up with a used Sage 5100 RPL I had been looking for. Other than the coast, with all the closed rivers for Steelhead, it will be fun learn and play with some new stuff!

I own the Sage 590 Graphite III, 9', 5wt.? What brand and type of line would you match to it, for PS SRC beach casting? So many options out there to sift through. Thanks.

PM sent. Thanks!

Thanks for that true warrantee statement. I own the Z-Axis 7136-4, which is my fav steelhead swing rod. Also have the old Sage 7100 RPL I have used lots in AK. I borrowed that Sage 5100 RPL on a Missouri R. trip from the same buddy and I broke the tip off. I delivered to Banbridge for repair in...

Some good news for once for winter steelhead. Checked and compared WDFW Hatchery Escapement Reports. To date, numbers seem to be up this year compared to the 10 yr average. Some had double the average. The Bogachiel topped out the highest return so far at 3282 and the Elochoman 2nd with 2504...

No. I need a new line also. Haven't got that far yet. Thought I would find a rod 1st, then try to match a line to it. I made a list of 10', 5 wts available. Wish I could find that Sage 5100 RPL. No luck on the used front yet. Are the cheaper brands like TFO, Reddington, Echo or Techo worth a...

New here and 1st post. Looking for some opinions. Getting into PS Sea Run Cutthroat fly fishing and want a better rod for more casting distance. I have been a few times the last month with no luck yet. I fish with a Sage 590 Graphite III which works great for lakes and small streams but am...
