    I fished the South Fork of the Boise River last week for the first time. It is a nice place and was not to busy, considering how close to Boise it is. The river was low and very wadable. The irrigation season has not started yet. Apparently a boat is needed to fish the river in the summer...

    Hey south eastern Washington people! Our local fly fishing shop is closing (Steve's Archery) in Walla Walla, and I thought now would be a good time to meet the locals. By local I mean Tricities to Dayton and into Milton. It would be great to pool information, buy/sell/trade equipment and just...

    Finally back on the water after almost 2 months. Wasn't excited about the forecast for sun but today was my one day to fish, and I managed to get into a few nice cutthroat, all nice and healthy plus chunky, if they were post spawn they didn't look like it, no sea lice of any kind. First fish...

    Here's a fun one I came across, a South Bend 1110 - Model B. I'm not sure of the era 40s or 50s? Elegant but blue collar. Works well. Its also posted on Clark's Classic but I'd appreciate any info if anyone knows about these. A good match to an old SB rod with a red reel seat.

    Great morning on the water, only fished the one fly and the fish seemed to like it, had 7 or 8 opportunities.

    Resolution #1- get 50 days on the water resolution #2 - explore new beaches So far so good, pacing for 365 days on the water and 730 new beaches. On the first beach at 8:15 this morning, little activity with rezzies but most just out of my range. Caught one small 12" or so on a white/chart...

    Fished a well known beach in tacoma again the 26th (my birthday) and the fish gods gave me a few gifts. A beautiful cutt, A good size blackmouth and a loy of rezzies. Tide was outgoing most of the time. I fished only one fly, pink and white clouser with some pink rubber legs.

    The last year or so I haven't fished nearly as much as I would have liked. Unfortunately it seems that the longer you go without making time for yourself the easier it is to make excuses to keep grinding away at work or to catch up on some sleep. But the few times that I have gotten out I've...

    finally back on the water after a 3 week drought. On the water right before Sunrise, about 7:30 am. No activity that I could see, started with a white wooly bugger and hooked into a fish within the first 10 mins, got off, same thing few mins later, the 2nd one was a nice fish. Decided to switch...

    I have a South Bend bamboo Model 28-9 fly rod. Some where I think I read it is a double built rod. Other than that I have no information about the rod. Can anyone tell me anything about the rod. Line weight, when it was built, that sort of thing. I am in the process of rewrapping it with...

    Doing a little road trip with my boy from about Fargo (starting in MN actually) and then going south and then across the whole state this summer and then to MT where we have buddies and good info for that area... any locals or previous locals or travelers out there who know of some good spots to...

    Got out early for a couple hours this morning. Right about first light caught the fish above, plenty of bait and birds around, caught a few small ones. Only fished one fly, a chart/white fox tail clouser.

    The last several times I've been fishing South Sound beaches I've been surrounded by millions of baitfish. I thought they were Sand Lance at first but now I'm not sure. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks.

    Squaxin tribe has caught a few, including in Pickering and Peale Passages.

    Hello all, I was fishing the south fork of the snoqualmie today and I was farther up the river in the mountains. I always walk up the river in the water . I guy stopped me and said I was trespassing while I was in the middle of the river! Can this be true!?! I have never had any issues with...

    Set out this morning with @thatguyryry to see what we could scare up in MA 11... Put the boat in the water around 5:45 a.m. & Ryan was throwing flies by 6:00. Although we were smack in the middle of the incoming swing the current was fairly sedate and sort of a non factor. Ryan tied on a...

    Took the day off work to fish and...slept in, on accident. Didn't get to the first beach until 10:00, saw some larger coho a ways out, caught a couple little ones. Headed to next beach around 11:30, same story, some bigger cohos but a ways out. Got the 3rd beach around 12:30 and didn't see any...

    I have had limited success on my favorite carp waters the past month or so. From where I park, the hike to the lake is a quarter mile or so. Nine times out of ten I wade north from the lakeside starting point. Habit, I guess. Usually I find fish but after the last four outings and only one...

    I'm taking the family up to camp near Rainier to check out the park at the end of July. We're camping in Big Creek site on the south side of the park. I see the Nisqually is right there. Any decent options for trout near by? Or anything else? I won't have a lot of time to fish but should be able...
