    I'm looking to purchase a 6wt for the sound as this seems to be the ideal from what I've read. I'm leaning towards the Sage Motive but would love to get some input from you all....and if someone has a rod for sale, I might be interested.

    Following up on the thread about flats wading boots, I'm curious what PS beach anglers prefer, felt, lug sole, or other footwear for wading and fishing the PS and HC beaches. Does it vary by season, with the increased algal growth in the summer?

    Anybody know how long it takes to clear up the water in the Everett area after all the mud coming down the rivers? I'm looking to hit the east side Whidbey beaches.

    Endangered Orcas Are Starving. Should We Start Feeding Them? Saw this article this morning. Thoughts? My reaction was that the idea is pretty absurd, and that the understanding of salmon hatchery programs and how well they work by the people quoted/contributing in this article was excessively...

    A project I've been working on the last few days, I tied up some Puget Sound SRC fly selections for the Boise FF show. Ended up with a couple extra selections so thought I'd throw them up here. 12 flies in a selection, two each of the following : Rubber Legged Clouser, the Stonefish UV Resin...

    Starting a fresh box for winter in the sound. Going to try and keep it limited to the "must haves", curious what others have if they have a specific winter specific box for the sound? Next up to tie I have some green and silvers, crazy plankton, squimp, fj pink, bristle worms Justin waters...

    I would like to organize a beach cleanup this winter. Currently I are looking at January/February time frame. I don't have any specific dates in mind, but soon I would like to have two or three dates to offer up then go from there. The idea is to have a good time cleaning up a beach and potluck...

    Hey all, I've got a business trip to PDX coming up in two weeks with a couple of days to fish prior (Nov 5 -6). I had originally thought about driving over to Maupin, but it seems like I can be at the southern end of the Puget Sound in similar time, and I'd really like to fish for SRC's. Any...

    One of the things I enjoy about fishing the sound is seeing things you don't see to often or for the first time. I've fished the sound for over 50 years and have seen the usuall suspects when it comes to forage fish, herring, sandlance, anchovies and smelt. I can't recall ever actually seeing...

    I was down in Cabo most of April and beach fished most mornings at sunrise. I got skunked but the sunrises were worth getting up early. Most years we go down there late Feb. through mid March and I usually catch some sierra's on this beach north of the Pueblo Bonito Rose' towards the...

    I'm looking at expanding my fleet of floatation devices. With spending more and more time fishing the Sound, I'm curious what others use to fish it and what they might consider a "dream" setup. Thanks in advance!! I recognize this thread would fit under watercraft. However I'm looking for a...

    Apparently in the 60s they proposed connecting the Puget Sound and hood canal together between Belfair and Allyn. It's only about a 2 mile span and totally feasible. Would this improve or hurt fishing and shellfishing? Maybe we should resurrect this plan, what do you think? Is it the weekend...
