    Non-Fly Baker lake sockeye 2026

    My nice seafood shop had Baker River Sockeye yesterday for 20 bucks a pound. It looked pretty good tho I opted for the Silver from the coast. First time I have seen it for sale around S Sound. Is Baker River a commercial fishery for one of the tribes?

    1st World Old Man Problem - Tendonitis

    See a well qualified sports med doc, since this has been going on so long they may recommend an injection in to the joint. I had this same issue and eventually after months I got the injection (steroid, I think). My elbow and whole body felt great for a few months. Not that everyone can do...

    What Are You Eating?

    @Brute - you nailed it on a couple of Oly's finest restaurants. I live here and for me Oly is a bit of a restaurant desert - there are lots of places but few that stand out (imo). I wish that we had more good ethnic places. btw - did you eat all of that pig belly that adorns the clam...

    Pretty Wild Cutts…

    Are you all referring to a boat or wading on the Cowlitz? If wading, I am curious how the access is? I will get out there and scout on my own, just looking for general guidance on availability of wading access. Thank you.

    Doorbell Cameras

    As a single woman living alone, DO NOT EVER open the door unless you are absolutely sure who it is, especially at night. Get a camera or have the neighbor install a door viewing hole at your level. If your landlord is that old and irresponsible for upkeep, they will never notice. Creepy...

    NFR Dogs With Food Allergies?

    I have raised 4 Goldens and dealt with some allergy issues. I am a bit skeptical of the diagnosis as well. If handsome Hanzo is better then perhaps it is not a food allergy? Keep a close eye on him. If you want to try switching foods maybe try another protein from Royal Canin since you have...

    Back on the water!

    Cringe time for fish, with Billy back at it! Strong work! (y) Curious if the craw shells turn blueish after being out of the water or have you seen live ones of that color?

    Wanted Starter Set-up for 18 YO

    Tennis Elbow?

    I had bilateral tennis elbow for months. Did lots of PT, anti inflammatory meds, rest, etc. Finally saw a skilled Sports Med doc and had a ultrasonic guided steroid injection and was much better there after. Steroid use is vetted based on your health but I strongly recommend seeing a good...

    NFR College Football 2025

    I long for the days of amateurism with Keith Jackson calling the game with 'big uglies' - his nickname for large lineman. I know we are never going back but it was much more enjoyable for me. Don't watch much now.

    What Are You Eating?

    Strongly suggest no bones for the dog. Splintering bones and GI surgery are no joke. Give him some of the meat and trimmings but avoid bones. Hope you all enjoy the feast.

    How have you adapted to fishing with Age and Medical Challenges?

    I have a fiberglass Escape trailer. I added a hitch to the back of trailer and used a 'hitch n haul' platform to load pontoon boat on it's side. I had a couple of solid metal hooks added high on the rear of the trailer as tie downs for the pontoon boat, worked like a charm.

    How have you adapted to fishing with Age and Medical Challenges?

    DM me, I have one that is good and free. It is quite functional but too long for me. Happy to get it to a new owner. The one that I have is this one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001C328YK?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1 There are much nicer ones available including these! :)...

    How have you adapted to fishing with Age and Medical Challenges?

    For me, it's all about pace, expectations and safety. I still have a burning desire to catch fish and explore new places but I am OK with shorter days and more time around the fire. Being retired is the best, more time for longer trips and no huge rush with long driving days to maximize...

    Sets of lake flies

    Christmas came early for me too as the terrific flies from @RichS have arrived! Thanks Rich. I'm interested in hearing anyone's technique for fishing the floating deer hair dragon nymph. Happy Holidays.
