Maybe this is why I only catch dinks. But seriously, this is scary stuff. It's behind a paywall, but think it deserves a posting. I hope many of you can read it.
Another free opportunity to join with fellow Spey enthusiasts, but this time north of the border. An easy drive from Bellingham, though.

Anyone fish this section? It's near the road, which makes access easy but reduces the experience (IMHO). Consequently, I've never fished the stretch from the Tieton confluence down to the Yakima. Don't want specifics, just wondering if anyone else has experience in this very long stretch of...
