I fish both 5 wt and 6 wt out of a boat. I typically use compact intergrates shooting head lines, intermediate on my 5 wt and either intermediate or type 6 on mt 6 wt.
Type 9 sounds appealing. Might have to add that one this year.
I liked pickled food in general. Kimchi is great. Pickled Herring, yum. Sure wish I could find fresh herring to pickle, I'm with you on that Brian.

WDFW released an update to their app. I've never really was a fan of their phone app, it took to long to update and merge the database. The new one seemed a lot faster. May be worth another look.
