EWEB wants to remove the silt in front of the fish ladder making for easier access and better fishing off the bank. Some idiot said there was DDT in the soil. A sample would take three months. Once again a good idea is ruined because of one persons misinformation. All it took was for one...
Bump up to at least an 8hp. Gives you more options and if you are going against the tide and the wind you'll need it. I have 8ph and sometimes I wish I had a 50hp back there as I'm full throttle just to keep straight. I have 17x54 aluminum.
I add some of the reflective tape you can buy for salmon flashers to the underside of the blade. Who really knows what works but it makes me feel better and that's all that counts.
Wife changed my plans Saturday to sanding the back deck. I'll keep you in mind because I like float the "town run" in the evenings, from VRC to River Rd.
I'm going to run the stretch from Marshal to Harrisburg but need a shuttle. There are some good places for steelhead and some holes for Salmon too. The only "catch" is that I need to pick up my trail camera's at a secret spot along the way. Shouldn't take more than an hour and it's by a nice...
"It's Business not Personal" Having to deal with the fed, state and local regs on a daily basis in my humble opinion people either do not have the big picture information on the water management plan or are emotionally biased. To keep this post short here is my layman term summary: The...
I try to put it in context. If a person is fishing on Monday and the season opens Tuesday is it really necessary to engage in a confrontation over 24hrs? If a person is running a gill net across the river I'm on the phone to ODFW. Always be polite, use humor and express your position in a...
I bought a pair of $175 waders (brand unimportant) and after a few trips they leaked, seams started pulling apart. Wasn't covered under warranty they said. I am tough on my equipment not wanting a blackberry or maple-leaf bush to stop me from getting to that perfect hole. Bit the bullet and...
Just got back from a morning out. A boat that put in at first launch upstream from Farnham caught two small ones in 15min. I was on the bank and threw everything I had at them, no luck. Still a beautiful day out, sun, no wind.
Hey grampa ron, I just dont' get it. I don't post often but look at the site daily and just don't get it. You submit a post about a friend catching salmon on the slaw with a fly but you want to keep the fly pattern a secret. What's the motivation for the post? Why do fisher-people love to...
I don't fish to catch fish. I fish to enjoy the outdoors and peaceful time. Sorry to hear about your day. Find a new spot and don't fish for fish but fish for serenity.
Going to take my father-in law out on the slaw. First time he is healthy enough to get out and probably last given his condition, so I'm asking for some help. Last weekend saw most people were at C&D but I got one near the bridge and had pleanty on fish finder. If there was one place that all...
