This was to be a Coho report, but since I didn't catch any it'd have to be rated a 1, but I caught Pinks, so am reporting it as such.
First boat trip on the lower Duwi this season for me. Got to the...

Stopped by for a lunch trip today. Plenty of people but no fish. Didn't even see anything caught while I was there, just one hooked and lost on the far bank. Did see a couple gnarly Pinks on the ba...

It finally happened. I now know what it's like to be fishing when a school of Pinks goes through. GOOD LORD!

Man, I'm having flashbacks to last season. I've stopped by 112th every morning this week and last Friday. Spent about 30-45 minutes fishing each trip, so cumulatively I've got about 3+ hours in ove...

I work close to the Duwi, so stop for quick shots whenever I can before work. This is the fourth morning I've hit the river at 112th for a 30 minute jam session and still have yet to get a hit. Ther...

Told myself I wasn't going to do it, but my addiction got the best of me. I ran down to the 112th hole at lunch to check things out. Thought it'd be packed to the gills (no pun intended) and crazy. ...

I thought about rating this a two, but due to the amount of effort we put in, I'm calling it a 1 star since we didn't come home with anything.
It all began with my wife wanting to take our 12' alumi...

Fished for 45 minutes this morning at big eddy. Saw a couple go out as I arrived, but certainly nothing going on while I was there. COLD!
