Yesterday I went near the bridge to do some after-work angling. The flows were up, the fishing down, and the trash all around. After nymphing and streamer fishing for a bit, I switched almost entirely to trash collecting. Does anyone have any luck/tips when the flows jump up a bit? Vince

Hey all, I recently purchased a pair of rapid river waders from L.L. Bean that are about one size too big. I went to return them, but they were out of the correct size, and back ordered until August 1st.

?Steelhead season in Jeopardy!!!I heard from a contact within the PSMFC (part of NOAA) that due to the low counts of steelhead returning this last fall, the state is looking at pulling the plug on steelhead this year much like they did to salmon. With no trout stocking either, this is going to be rough y...
Here's a question? Anyone fished Beardsley Reservoir and Afterbay at the SF of the Stan? Looking for a dispersed (free) camping spot from April 5th - 11th with my gal that is open, snow free and not blown out as most known rivers I've been checking out. So, I guess it's pontoon boat time and thought since...

So that olive dubbing I recently used on a blue winged olive I tied will likely have entirely different UV reflectiv...
