Btw, I've had my Stiker out 10 times this year. But only once on a river. :LOL: Did the Yakima Lmuma to Mahres back in late Feb.
All the others have been on Lenice or my local stocker lakes.
It's essentially become my rubber pram. I haven't used the upgraded frame I made for it yet this year. I...
Keeping the lake box stocked. The damsel is tied with trout and carp in mind so is a full #10.
From top-
And when they're sipping mids on top.
Old-school Mustad 94840 dry fly #14 hook that I've bent just a tad.
I like these with dun hackle, but also in grizzly and dark badger.
Guess this probably means no SRC fishing on the Snoq or Snoh.
Wishing for special gear restrictions and enforcement is probably pie in the sky stuff.
I'm fully aware that summer and fall kings are fairly common bycatch when throwing my #6 spider or Brad's Brat for SRCs. I caught plenty on...
King County actually has a very good website for this. Here's a couple snips-
And this also matches the sign at the launch. There are some dumb exceptions out there for sure, but for 95% of the waters...no motors means no motors. It's not just to limit your speed. They don't want your gas on...

When it's hot with a fish on every cast type of thing I forget to count. So then 3...
Couple weeks back-
Fishing a "no internal combustion motors" lake locally. A dude that was probably late 20s has a nice Lund or something with a big-ass 60 or 75 on it. Literally starts cranking over the motor when everyone at the launch says you can't do that. He's like "oh, my bad." He had a...
I've had good luck with this style. I like Hare's ear for the body. When they get really aggressive I love stripping a Hare's ear Elk Hair Caddis minus the palmered hackle and sparse on the elk.
Or just an Adams wet fly or soft hackle.
Those are good days!
