Silver Salmon for BBQ

Hello, I am new to fly fishing and am looking for good lakes and rivers in the Grays Harbor County area. Klone Lakes caught my attention due to its more exclusive and private landscape that comes with it, however, I am curious about the amount of trout in the lakes. From what I found, it was...

I just recently moved back to Wenatchee after a decade and a half away. Though I didn’t really get into fishing until I first picked up a fly rod 4 years ago, I do know several local hotspots for the various salmon runs. Trouble is, most all my fishing experience has been trout and bass (though...

Guiding isn't for the faint of heart. From what I see on the outside looking in is that the fly fishing industry is constantly evolving to stay innovative and fresh to keep up with todays standards. Fly shops that have been around for ages are struggling to stay afloat to offer their services to...

Background. After guiding, working, and playing in the outdoors of the Rocky Mountain West and Alaska for many years, I consider myself fortunate to have never had a death in any of my guide trips or camps. We came close once with a guy who had a heart attack and fell off his horse...

Wondering if anyone here has experience fishing for salmon in the lower Icicle or the Wenatchee? I grew up in the area but didn’t get into fly fishing until a few years ago (just prior to moving back) but have been primarily fishing trout & bass. I just learned how to fish for Steelhead via...

This is similar to another thread. I think it's a warning that needs to be emphasized. In a (I hope) short time Spring will start. We're all anxious to get out there and enjoy the tug. Keep in mind there is a danger that could easily kill you. Ice. Several years ago I was fishing the Missouri...

I’ve been taking university/community groups to Missoula, MT 1-2 times a year since 2012. I love the location because there are several awesome rivers that our outfitter (Missourian Angler) can access. We stay in a downtown hotel and are walking distance to lots of great local restaurants. It’s...

Is the North American Fly Fishing Forum down? I can't access it.

While fishing the sound in my kayak in late August, I met a fellow fly fisher. He told me that fishing sea runs in the sound in late fall can be really productive. I was just wondering...is now the time to fish for sea runs or is it too late? Does anybody fish sea runs off the beaches in...

After seeing a thread about the East-West divide of Washington state, I was curious as to whether there is a similar divide between fly fishing and gear fishing. I'd imagine that fly fishing skews liberal, while gear fishing tends to lean right, but I definitely don't have any hard evidence to...
