Damn things invading North Bend. Pretty sure Chris Scoones is somehow involved.....Maybe Itchydog too... https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/4-zebras-loose-near-eastbound-i-90-by-north-bend/

I want to do the Eagle float on the Skagit, but not pay an arm and a leg for it. I've done it before from a raft, and it looked easy, but rivers can change and i wasn't on the sticks and this was years ago. From the times I have been up on the Skagit this looks doable in a canoe, or in my sit...

https://www.seattletimes.com/business/exploding-wild-pig-population-on-western-canadian-prairie-threatens-to-invade-northern-us-states/ Now we got these wild pigs comin' down from Canada, eatin' people, diggin' up stuff, breedin' fast... Seems like Grizz would like a wild pig to eat....

I know you and I were all surprised about the WDFW emergency opening for Pumpkin Harvest on a redacted River I mean, talk about insomnia last night. See I had a hunch something like this might happen, the escapement was way above expected, there were over 20000 pumpkins at Sunset Falls by...

Yeah you've all seen it somewhere but right now you can see one of the prints of this famous image at Seattle Art Museum. The exhibit is really well done, the block prints spectacular, and if you have any love for comics, manga, monsters and illustration, here's your study in provenance.... Tix...

Most mornings I did a dawn patrol and this year hooked into around 6 bluefish, all at dawn or dusk, two landed. I was throwing chrome on a spin rod, had some fly success in kettle ponds with herring patterns and bass, but these guys are way more fun. Hooked and lost a striper, saw another...

Based on recs from all y'all I long ago abandoned the hook set with a rod lift. Seems like the practice of strip setting puts your fly in play longer than a hook set with a rod lift, which may jerk the fly 9-10 feet away from feeding fish. Given when you're in a boat or yak fishing you can often...

So the algorithm for internet bots spying on me thinks I am more interested in some things than I am. And then I think maybe it's the other way around, maybe the algorithm is destiny, and that I should be interested in these things because the algorithm is right. Just in general, say facebook...

Violent Night This movie is a version of Home Alone but with Santa doing most of the smashing. The cop from Stranger Things plays Santa. There is some kind of confusing heist sub-plot with lots of bad guys who you know are on the naughty list for the last time, because Santa's basically gonna...

This is the new mascot for the Kraken. they call this thing Buoy. It is missing teeth. I think they missed an opportunity here. Specifically for something not fuzzy and absurd. I'm talking about a terrifying, 9 foot tall humboldt squid that actively pursues fans and players, slaps them with...

Family and I headed down to Oregon Coast for a 10 day break. Managed to miss the heat wave, but as a consequence the mornings were pleasantly foggy and gloomy, and by afternoon, much of the fog burned off. I wasn't expecting much by the way of fishing. In the past the lines of boats trolling...

Fished a stretch of the Cedar this AM. Using a black and green streamer caught a mix of cutts and rainbows. I haven't fished the Cede since 2020 and there have been some nice changes to the shape of it. PLus, and some may not believe this, the water was really clean, the banks too, and I came...

https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/two-killed-during-river-rafting-trip-nooksack-river/DAQNAB23INHNHD46I7FL3XMXNQ/ Damn, I do love an occasional whitewater trip, and that accident is hard to read. two dead, both wearing helmets, wetsuits and lifejackets. Anybody know more? Nooksack is a narrow...

Some years the cutthroat are there before the Ospreys, not 2022. Caspian terns are back. Interesting compare and contrast, both the tern and the osprey eat live fish, though the tern catches with its beak, the osprey with its talons. The wings are way thinner on the Tern One guy has a...

Just a heads-up The Traver writing award deadline is coming up, May 31st. It's $2500 and the entries are open to basically new, unpublished authors. https://www.voelkerfoundation.com/traveraward/ This is a fun program, I've been involved in the past as an entrant and more recently as a judge for...

The End of the Dark Times BY Earnest Boot It was the end of the dark time. This was good. The accordion music was playing and the sun rose from among the rocks and mud. He tied the fly made of the rabbit strip. The fly was simple and he tied it with the light on. With the lights on the dark...

Started off cloudy, the marine layer was just breaking up... When you get that multilevel cloud stuff....

Joe and the Mime on Open Mic Night or Depressing Songs of the Pacific Northwest By Wadin' Boot I came for moral support. My friend Joe had written eight songs about Pacific Northwest disasters and tonight he would debut them in front of a select audience of friends (me) and...

(add your own next paragraph, I was damn well hoping this would be the first post in the Saltwater forum but I was done gone beat. Still everyone knows PNW FlY FISHING is where the hot romance chain stories are. And I will do my damndest to keep content that involves lust, trash, rotting...
