I had a foot doctor at V Mason Clinic who had a older Penn 209 reel and an older Eagle Claw mooching rod with the wooden handle hanging on his office wall marked as a antique. I used to chuckle cuz I still use mine.I still use my first reel which was a Phluger Supreme 1954 reel.Im very old school wi...

I didn't mean to lead you on but I still use mine.I use them for drifting.

When I jig the bottom I put a small weight at the very bottom on 2# test line. Let the weight hit and get stuck to know where the bottom is. You can lose lots of jigs bottom jigging.

I agree with Tom. Report it to the Police. At least have it on record.

The WDFW tells me to call the State Patrol. The State Patrol tells us to call the WDFW. I'm not bashing the State Patrol but they don't care or don't want to get involved in fishing rights. The tribal police are a real joke. There aren't enough wardens to patrol the rivers.Oregon rivers are full of ...

Better go get a Tetnus shot

It limits my fishing spots but I don't fish where I cant see my car or truck at all times.

Turkey parts or Horse Clams

I got nailed for that 10 bucks that first year. Never again.

I went to Big Five today to get my winter crab card. The person behind the counter said its free because I already purchased my license.I thought they cost money.

Its better then no eggs for steelhead season.They are going to fish whether you buy eggs or not. Try the ...

How do you know the clipping happened up there? Ive seen seals in the lower Nooksack many times while at WWSC.

Sea lions sometimes bite the tail of fish then go for the belly grab.

I plunk for both salmon and steelhead. I use plugs a lot. Reverse tie a swivel to leader then tie your plug to the other end. Once you cast and your weight sticks undo the clip on the swivel , snap it back and let it slide down your line. the lip will catch the drift and take the plug down. I usuall...

I tie my own. Id try Auburn Sports or in Seattle at Outdoor Emporium.

Its south of Olsens Creek.

That's right and for those cold winter nights. If and when crabbing starts I boil with the crabs. You don't get to be my size by not eating good starches.

Thank you. Good to be back.
