Anybody know how I can access Birdsview by foot? Also, what is a good fly for dollies?

Park in the gravel lot, walk inside and over to the bar and get a 7 barrel IPA.

For bulls specifically I’d go for a white graboid leech.

Thought i did this year.

Best news of the year and it won't be beat.

There is NOTHING in the world of fly-fishing as special as swinging for steelhead in March/April on the Skagit and Sauk.

Good way to make sure there are more eyes on the river too, you know there are plenty of locals who have had themselves a little decade long plunking party despite the closure.

Looks like Sasquatch is even wearing Bernie gloves.

Game changer !

No need for an April season imho.... 2 weeks the fish need more then us considering the onslaught that’s coming!


....there, I pooped on it!

ya lets look out for each other’s vehicles/property. Might have to borrow a side arm just for the occasion since I can’t lug a 12 foot rod & rifle around. Do like a light shooter say a .40 semi or 38 ? Those darn colt 45s we had in the army were so heavy and kicked like a mule I guess that’s why all the helicopter pilots chose to carry 38s.

What a state of affairs it's come to when it seems like we need a thread responding to, "what's the best sidearm to carry when fishing the "S" rivers?
