Northwest Fishing Reports

BUYER BEWARE I was trying to avoid posting this, hoping I could resolve my customer service issues with Fetha Styx. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been possible, so I’d like to warn anyone else considering future purchases/dealings with them. It sounds like the company is undergoing a lot of big changes...

Thanks, all. I have heard of running the carb dry - sounds like a good idea, but maybe not every time unless storing it for a long period of time? At least that's what the manual seems to say. MotoBoat, that's a heck of a reply you typed up - I really, really appreciate all the info! Really helpful....

UPDATE I followed MotoBoat's advice today - Stopped at Outdoor Emporium for some TCW-3 and some gear oil. Got a couple fresh gallons of fuel, and mixed it up 50:1 (the TC-3, not the gear oil). Got home and filled the 35 gallon trash can with water and hooked up the fuel. Mounted the motor, pulled ou...

I don't care so much about going fast (I know, I know...I'm sure I'll have a different opinion after two weeks) as just having something reliable and fun...and a boat that catches lots of fish, of course! And I'm in Beacon Hill, so that shop is...

Something to hit the rivers (and maybe the sound) with for salmon/steelhead. Maybe cruise the lakes for joyrides on o...

Good info, Thanks Slayer - I'm finally dialing things in, I think. None of my hooks ever have time to lose sharpness, because I lose my hooks first!

Thanks, FF. I'll definitely try those out next time. I actually just bought some Owners Cutting Point (I think that's what they're called), so I'll see how those work out. I've heard those Gamakatsus are really good, too, though. I've always used those pre-tied Brad's, but that's what broke in half ...

I just have to chime in here and also say thanks to everyone here - I"m the guy in the second pic that riverbound posted. I never post on here, but I'm always lurking around, reading reports and researching. That day we were out was one of the best days fishing I've ever had and I only went 1/5, but...
