Hello! My name is Bee, age 25, and from Renton, WA. I'm new to fishing and found this website to have great people and info. Since I'm just learning about this sport, I don't have a favorite species just yet. Nibbles are exciting itself. Small lakes around the area have been the spots for me - but not very much luck.

Thanks and good fishing to all!

Whats up WL Family, its been a while. I might as well introduce myself again its been so long lol. Im still around, still alive anyway. Not fishin as much as I would like. A mineral trip, a few potholes trips and some salmon outings since I last posted. I won the battles with Mineral and the potholes, but walked away beaten and bloody after going a few rounds salmon fishing.

Gas prices have been killing my fishing, and a broken computer and work (70 hour work week next week) have been keeping me from posting. I am heading to the potholes tommarow, so I will try and check back with you all with the results. Good luck to everyone until then.
