After a week of rain the Sol Duc was running pretty high but barely fishable. It was coming down but one more day would have made it a lot better. Not a lot of fish caught by the other boats on the ...

Drove 125 miles to fish the Skagit thinking it would be a sure bet. Nope. It's as dead as the dang Puyallup. Nobody was catching anything on the big sand bar. We were using 50/50 Dicknites, and th...

What a day! We went to Cabelas to look for a net since the last time we were at the river we broke our cheapo net. We didn't find what we wanted there so we headed to Sportco and found a nice net. ...

Brett and I have been going to Browns Point for about 2 weeks on weekends and some evenings and finally got our first pink today. This guy must have been a loner because there were no others caught i...

Hit Minter creek with Brett about 1:00 PM, about an hour before high tide. Figured we'd catch the last of the tide, leave for a couple hours when the bite slowed down, and come back on the out going ...

Took the boy out to get him away from his video games. He was complaining about never catching any fish, so I saw recent reports at Waughop and saw it was producing so thought we'd give it a try. To...

Got there and found out we'd forgotten Brett's waders so were stuck with staying on the grassy point adjacent to the parking area. Not a bad spot. You can see the schools of chum coming up the creek...

Rough day just north of the foot bridge at Oxbow. Fish were there, jumping and rolling all over the place on the out tide. Couldn't buy a bite. No one got a single fish while we were there. So we...
