Re: Clear nonmetal snap swivels

I knew the snap swivels were in the works but haven't used them yet. I use the other swivels for trolling and they work great. They are a flouro carbon material very tough.

Re: How our wives (or significant others) must feel sometime

When I am grouchy my better half either feeds me or sends me fishing. Guess that explains why I am grouchy all of the time. But in reality I'm just fat, dumb, and happy.

This type of stuff kind of defeats the idea to form a committee to promote and increase participation in fishing.

Re: Sportsmen's Show for a newbie

Re: Lake Whatcom + Lake Samish

yes there are some excellent Skagit County lakes close by. It is a shame that Whatcom County does not get it. That was my home stomping ground for 10 years and I love Samish for the cutts and Silver was a very relaxing and productive fishery. Miss the area and my friends but they have taken away any...

Re: Lake Whatcom + Lake Samish

I didn't see it posted but is there an estimate as to how much this program is going to cost the city/county? How about an estimate on lost revenue? Just curious.

Re: Lake Whatcom + Lake Samish

Whatcom County politics has always amazed me. Wait until you have to go to Whatcom Lake before heading up to Silver lake.

Re: Trolling With Flies?

Try it without a worm and see how many you can hook and release in a day. You can also be more selective in the size of trout you take home. After you have your first 50 fish day you will never use worms again. I troll at 1 to 1.5 mph using a lazy "S" pattern. Woolley Buggers have been my fly of cho...

Re: Trolling With Flies?

I wrote a book on it. I included my set-ups, trolling patterns, methods on breaking lakes down & more. Covered 38 different lakes from Whatcom County down to Clark County. I think you will find it very informative and help you get started in the right direction.
