  • Shameless

    This morning before light the elk
    had come down into the front yard, the sea gulls were in the back yard, this it
    turns out is a clear sign the weather is about to get really fowl again.

    Earlier this week we had some tough fishing but for in the
    last couple of days we seemed to get things dialed in.

    I fished with Shane and his father Mark on the sol duc today

    Cold rain, sleet, snow, heavy hail, lightening, high water,

    in great shape. I have been
    reluctant to force clients to brave the weather and have postponed a couple of
    trips this week due to sanity. Despite all this …

  • Whoop Whoop

    On the bogie, crowds have thinned and the fish are still
    coming. Mitch had to work hard to
    hook three today, I thought it would be easy.
    Have heard pretty decent reports from all over. We have this blizzard on the way that
    should bring the Hoh down into great shape.yes”> I think if it stays in shape that should give us a weeks
    worth of good fishing.read more »

  • We are live baby!

    I’m a blogger. Its
    official. We will see how long this lasts. I am going to try to post at least
    twice a week, with fresh and interesting photos. I like posting fishing reports, but I often get lazy/busy/ preoccupied and drop the ball. So…to keep myself motivated and to add
    some drama to the site I am starting a pool.read more »
