For Coho I look for deeper water, slower moving as well. Deep slow runs or tailouts with a big pool. For the Sandy I've had my best luck just below Dabney above and below the bridge or multiple spots in Oxbow. If you haven't tried it yet I recommend picking up a couple twitching jigs, they've...

Nice!! I signed up for these fish surveys in the past but ended up having scheduling conflicts when my name was drawn. Still on my list of things to do...one of these days

Must be that rare Ivory strain

My two cents is DO NOT OVERSPOOL. Because braid is so slippery I have found that if you load the spool to the very limit of capacity you're opening yourself to a world of pain and annoyance with birdsnests. With braid i like to leave myself a decent lip remaining on the spool. You're going to...

I understood that Tony, the 39.99 reference was related to @jamisonace's comment on King at Costco not sure if i hit reply to your comment, if i did my bad :)

Not really surprising, they canceled the US King Crab season last year and reduced the Snow crab quota by 80% The only open waters were Russian Bering sea and well you know... Biologist have been noting a lack of Juveniles in the King cohorts for some time now, while the average age of adults...

X2 I confess I had/Have the same issue. It's challenging to not run off chasing every report. Personally the Clack should be dead to me.. nothing but frustration. I have NEVER caught a fish even when they're showing. I know it produces but just not for me. That being said I tend to malign the...

9/12 Snuck in a bit of fishing after work before the wife would miss me.. 1 landed and released Tule on the twitching jig and one solid smack on a spinner. Didn't see much for fish movement except 1 big splash down below the bridge

Was just looking at the fly shop reports myself and noticed that the Canyon shop is now closed and operates as a guided trip only outfit. Apparently John closed the retail portion of the shop last year FYI

I'd start looking at the local fly shop fishing reports. Depending on weather the "World Famous" salmon fly hatch could start popping off around then. Very weather based but if it warms up and stays warm it could happen. They hatch has started earlier then historical these last few years. If...

I was thinking it was the stretch below Wickiup but either way closed water. He did get called out a bunch in the comments for fishing and harvesting in closed waters and honestly I'm surprised he hasn't responded. He has been very diligent about regulations and stating the regulations when he's...

They're dipping in the Cowlitz currently. Anybody hear anything for the Sandy yet?

I can't speak for all rivers but I know the ones i know Rainbows usually spawns late spring early summer. The usual cycle was Bows in the spring, Browns, brookies,(and Kokes) in the fall

Skating or Swinging?
