I used to always take my yellow lab with me when bank fishing. He wouldn't stay out of the water. But he would only be in the water next to or in front of me. His job was to help land the fish... :lol::lol::lol:

Great job on the hook sets!!! :cool::cool::cool:

Monsters! Too big for your net!!! :clap::clap::clap: Which lake is that?

Went out in a friends boat today on the Willamette and despite the murky water I managed to hook into this nice 16 lber! :cool:

I've been there when it was crowded also, today was the peaceful kind of day. I'll have to try a San Juan worm next time, today was non-stop action. I gave up counting how many I caught and released. :cool:

There are new stockers from last week and this week, 10-12"

Sounds great! I don't need a rod & reel, but I might try one of your flies... :D Maybe next week... :cool:

Made it up to Lost Lake (above Spruce run park) today. Had a great time c&r'ing the fresh stockers. The hot fly pattern for me was a black crystal bugger with a small flashback pheasant tail on a 16" dropper. About 80% hit the dropper. Even caught 2 at one time, see pic... :D Fished from first...

Perfect looking rainbow! I need to make the drive over and join you sometime soon! :cool:

Great looking steelie!!! :clap::clap::clap: I grew up plunking on the Skagit River, love to hear the bell ringing!!! :cool:

Did you try any mayfly emergers on the river or just BWO dries?

Great video! :clap::clap::clap:

The best results I've had with wooly buggers is from my pontoon casting toward the bank. The key is to let it sink the desired amount before starting to strip it in. Most strikes come before the 3rd strip during a pause... :cool:

Streamer patterns are probably the way to go there for the striped bass.

Caught a few and lost a few out there this past summer... :D
