For a change of pace, we decided to head for Lake Cavanaugh. We figured the calm unpopulated waters would be an excellent escape from today realities. Well, that and the fact that I wouldn’t have to d...

We came up 1 fish short of our limits. By 9:00 we had three fish in the boat and I figured that the last one was going to be a cakewalk. Apparently, the fish thought otherwise. Sunday morning, I got u...

Ok, I got lucky on numerous accounts; I had the day off, the wind was tolerable, I pulled the throttle back on top of a bunch of fish and I chose the right gear. My boss and I agreed to this week’s sc...

Sunday has come and gone and the Sounders win the MLS cup! The world is a good place but can it be better? With the reduction in our local salmon or blackmouth fisheries I often feel a bit lost. I lov...

For me rating a trip can be challenging; do I base the rating on the number of fish brought home for the fry pan or smoker? The number of fish that came out to play or the use of my skills to encourag...

Two 5 start trips in a row! Not getting out on the water often but when the opportunity is there it has been epic. This trip was almost a no trip. We went to a concert at the Mount Baker Theater in Be...
