Northwest Fishing Reports

I froze another 2 dozen ears today. I froze Yakima corn 2 weeks ago and today was Auburn Valley corn. I clean 2doz ears cut in half . Blanch corn for 7 mins in boiling water then into a ice water bath for 10 mins. Drain corn and pack in Food Saver bags and freeze.

Thanks PRM for sharing.

Meeker st bridge is good. Go down 196th to either Frager or Russell Roads. Lots of access areas.

I have Okies from the 70's also. I still use them I mostly have bright yellow with orange dots and solid pink ones. Great for drift fishing

Thanks rseas. Good to know that easy clean method.

Hahaha. Not funny but when I went for my clearance to work for the Navy they told me the same.I got the two year deal from the state. I did get a cool hat from the Nimitz though with my name embroided on it.

The Skagit has a good flow of water. The Snohomish, the Green in King county are real clear. Coho get lockjaw in the clear low rivers. JMO. We need rain real bad.

The seals were chomping away this early evening. I was sick watching it.

This Kraut is as good as it gets. Nothing like the store bought ones. If you haven't had home made your missing out. Wash the cabbage and remove any wilted outer leaves. Quarter the cabbage, remove the core, and slice the cabbage into thin strips (I shoot for around ¼" wide). Try to make the strips ...

I'm reading this especially since I tried fishing in the Skykomish up past Gold Bar. At Reiter there are no HNDCP parking anywhere. The whole hatchery area is open. I drove in there looking for a Hndcp parking and was asked to leave.It burned me up because I could not fish anywhere. It was a long dr...

I feel that the state should lower their pricing of the license for those who purchased this year. Its a very small way to compensate us.

Probably the worst part of the upper Green will be shallow water with no rain. I'm thinking about a lot of darker fish. The Green can be awesome when the freshet is happening.I'd think the Meeker bridge area would be good because the water tends to be deeper.Like from the NC hole to the RJC area. JMO

After what Ive been through the past 5 years I cant imagine who would want to be me.

I got a 2 page letter from the State of Wa explaining the breach into their computer system and how all our info was compromised. The perpertrators got our personal info. It said it was on all online purchases.My question is if I bought my license thru a store like Big 5 or Walmart is that still con...

I grew up living on the lake Washington near Seward Park. I've seen cormorants for years especially right off both I90 and 520. I see them all over the lake. For years I thought they should let us shoot them. They are all over the Green River in King county.

A suburban is my next vehicle. I have a 1990 xtra long bed Toyota now. Before that I had a Suburban. The pickup is great for hauling wood , manure for the yard and off roading. With my back being out most of the time a pickup dosent help.I agree with a Suburban type vehicle. Much more comfort for an...

If and when the Spokane bridge opens just take note that it is combat fishing at the least. Its best if you speak a few languages. Make sure you have a ring net. Some guys have ring nets but I prefer my own gear. You'll have snaggers and lots of them.

A young guy that I mentored works at a fish stand at the market. He brings me fish so I'm still smoking fish. I found a guy in the Yakima area who sells fruitwood. Mainly apple which I prefer to smoke with. Even burning apple is good. I'm trying to get a pickup load next week. Traut for you I have s...

I'm still kicking. Although I feel like a one legged man in a butt kickin contest. I spend a lot of time taking care of my father with Dementia. I went crabbing twice only and have done very lil fishing.
