I've been in Baja since Saturday fishing the beaches everyday. Lots of small roosters but no grandes. Then today while I was trying to run down the man, I ran into Mr. Dorado instead. What a hoot. How's the weather back home?

Hey guys. I hope to be doing a road trip from Montana to the area around Riffle lake in May. This is more of a hang gliding than a fishing trip, but would love to fish some if the flying weather is not good. I will be camping and or staying near Morton or Glenoma. I see there is some flowing...

They promised some cold temperatures this week because some cold air is coming from Siberia, was only 1 degrees colder then last Wednesday, but our coldest day this winter & should be colder tomorrow! Seen much colder & used to have a picture reading - 32 Celsius & years ago rode my mountain...

I've had a Monic floating line for bonefish for years so I went to their booth to see what was new. I use a lot of floating running lines and they had a new twist on it that caught my attention. When ever I hang up with a 10-12 lb Maxima ultra green tippet, I sweat bullets over whether the...

I have been watching the long range forecast in hopes of maybe getting out for the March 1st opener. It doesn't look good here on the tundra. The fifteen day shows every night until Feb 28 being below freezing with a low of 8 and a high of 26. Not much is going to thaw at those temps. And if the...

Just rolled into town on Saturday, got out on my favorite beach yesterday and landed a few of what I believe to be rezzie cohos (correct me if I’m wrong) and a few nice cuttys. Tossing my sink tip line I use for reservoir’s on a 10’ 7wt. Swinging clousers and deceivers. Was wondering if point no...

From Change.org petition "FEB 2, 2018 — The Commissioners just voted unanimously against the PEOPLE in voting down our request to convert the NOF policy to a rule. Ron Warren recommended a NO vote, and every Commissioners voted NO! It was apparent that the department staff (based on a briefing...

I saw this on Amazon - its a bar shaped like soap, but made from steel. Supposedly it removes scent from hands. Kinda got me wondering if any uses something like this for fishing when tying flies on or at the bench tying flies. Rub-a-way bar

This is another nice old Wonderod that needs a home. This is the better of the two I own, so if you are looking for a really nice 8wt wonderod from the early 70's, this is it. It has the "Action Taper" that I particularly like in these rods. My other one has landed many fish over the years...

Abstract Hyper Distance Theory Fly Casting Perfect for Puget Sound Beach fishing, except the only way I can reach 200 feet is have one of my kids take the fly in hand, jump in the kayak and row out 200 feet and drop the fly in the water.

This summer has been all about rivers for me. Every once in a while I'll change it up, but exploring the higher reaches of our W. Washington rivers and fly fishing them has been one adventure after another and a constant learning experience when it comes to our native trout and their riverine...

From the water access site map, it appears that there are a few places on the very lower part of the Skagit. "North fork" and "Diking district #22" look interesting from the satellite photos. Would it be possible to catch SRC by wading in these type of areas? This type of fishing is all new to...

I'm looking for a reel and have been wondering about Piscifun... Everything I own is Lamson BUT I'm always open to something new. If you've got any time on a Piscifun, let me know if it's worth consideration. I'm especially interested in your opinion on the drag system. Thanks.

Hey, Here's a weird request. I found a roof top tent for sale in Boise. The price is right. But, I'm realistically not going to be able to pull off another monster road trip - after the debacle of picking up a boat in Alabama only a couple months ago :D It's a huge roof top tent - so you'd...

My apologies if this has been posted before but I ran across this great picture of the Olympic Peninsula taken from the ISS, and thought it worth sharing. Kinda/sorta fishing related too. https://www.geekwire.com/2016/olympic-peninsula-international-space-station-nasa/

Conservation Hawks, producers of the film "Convergence", has launched a prize contest for folks who watch their video. The video was part of this year's Fly Fishing Film Tour and features the likes of Orvis' Perk Perkins and Simon Perkins, as well as Trout TV's Hilary Hutchison and YouTube...

My dad lives in Boise (Nampa) and has a pontoon boat of mine. We're trying to figure out how to get the pontoon boat from there to Seattle (or the greater Puget Sound). Anybody coming from Boise to Seattle and possibly be able to haul the pontoon boat? It's all broken down and ready to haul...

I want to float this stretch of the Yakima above Cle Elam in the next few days. Does anyone know if you can get into the Ensign launch and then take out at Bullfrog? I know access at both sights has been an issue because of snowpack. Thanks!

....a little something different here. Fishing for, catching and releasing some pretty browns in Ireland:

Up for auction is a brand new G-Loomis Crosscurrent GLX 7 weight. This is an excellent rod designed for saltwater but will certainly excel with your favorite bass poppers or trophy trout streamers. The proceeds from this auction will go directly to Project Healing Waters. How does this work...

This is a fat chance on my part but I would be willing to pay for the delivery of a drift boat.

So I picked up a Rio UniSpey 10/11F Versitip 750gr for less than $10. It is 64 feet. Could I in theory cut it down in about half to have two 375 gr lines at about 32 feet? I realize there is a slight taper from front to back on these, but I would imagine that right in half would be within a...

Ok, so I know this not the greatest question coming from a fly angler, but I don't tie flies and I don't make my own rods - much too tedious for me and I don't have the fine motor skills nor patience. So the question I have is: Where do I post a pattern of a fly I need to have custom made? I...

This arrived yesterday. It speaks for itself! This is in regards to the day I took off of fishing, to fix a guys boat, on my Steelhead fishing vacation. One hell of a thank you!

Interesting developments in the work being done to protect Washington's streams and fish from motorized mineral prospecting. It occurs in many places where ESA-listed or protected wild salmon, steelhead, char, and trout exist...

If there is anyone here whom I have not insulted, I beg his pardon. I'll try harder in 17:D HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE Go Huskie Go Hawks

Do you ever sit and look at the scraps on your fly tying desk and wonder what to do with them? I often create new steelhead flies from the waste. Here are a few examples....pardon my photos, the purple often looks a little blue and I'm still learning......

Floated the Nooksack last week. Put in at Highway 9 and pulled out at Nugents. It was a fun day on the river with my good buddy @driftboatdan . I was surprised by the number of Chum we saw in the main river. Unfortunately I wasn't really surprised by what else we found. A sled half sunk along...

Hi, my name is Casey i moved to Port Angeles from Bend, OR a year and a half ago . I have been fly fishing for ten years and have good knowledge of trout waters in central Oregon. Steelhead are what drew me out here but i have since found a plethora of other types of anadramous salmon and trout...

I don't tie much, but I thought this was worth sharing. Here's a crazy popper I tied out of things I could find on the "supplies" table at my work's "all company" conference. Earplug, pepto bismal wrapper, advil wrapper, candy wrapper. Rubber legs from the hotel bathroom shower cap.

The most frequently Googled How To's by state. While Washington folks seem most concerned about earthquakes, Montanans are worried about hard boiling eggs.

Hi everyone, I am new to this site and to fly fishing. I haven't actually gotten out and done it yet, just gearing up and preparing to start in the spring. My question is, do spools generally fit more than one model, or are they specifically machined for that reel only? Specifically, I have a...

Yesterday it was the 8 weight fishing still waters for carp. Today it was a nice picnic in the forest with my wife and then some wet wading with my 2 weight. Wasn't worried about 20 pound carp bending the 2 weight. Along with the 8 weight, my waders were at home, wet wading when it is 91°F is...

Hello all, The lovely lady and I leave for Yellowstone from Vancouver, BC, next Saturday morning, bright and early. We've even got a house-sitter lined up! Here is our current plan: Day 1) Loooooooong drive from Vancouver to Missoula and crash in a motel that night (already reserved) Day 2)...
