Washington Dept of Fish & Game closed all fishing because of the virus until April 6 and could extend into unknown future. This being the case The WA WDFG is $65 thousand in the red. With that closure why would anyone buy a $75 dollar fishing license when we can not fish. Now that is Democrat government rules to live bye. Our lakes and the Puget Sound covers a lot of water. More people shop in stores gathers shoulder to shoulder the stores than we would out in open air fishing. Cannot fix stupid.

Ladies decicated to the love of fishing will be back Not to worry. they have spunk to love fishing.

Custer Washington state Kopkanee fishing

Tonya where in Washington State Custer WA here Fish kokanee Salmon 10 fish limit per day

Wendy wish you was here in need of a good fishing buddy fish for Kokanee Salmon. Old guy loves fishing.

Frank Charles here I am 88 have the same situation no fishing buddy. Have a boat fish for Kokanee Salmon and fresh water bottom fish. during Crab season drop crab traps in birch bay and off Larabee State Park. no takers old or young. For fishing I make my own lures and make my own bait to tip the lures. Would love to teach some one to fish and how to catch dungeness crabs also clean and cook. Eating is no problem. anyways keep a tight line.

Place the two peices behind your legs. Just above the knees put your knees together reach behind left hand be side your left knee right hand behind your right knee. grasp rod with joint centered on back of knees now spread your knees apart pushing on your left and right wrists your rod should pop apart. Often to end stuck joint run male joint in your hair acts as lubiicant.

Tomorrow will be hitting Cabelas get more Koke material to make Koke lures

nice thing about fishing Kokes you do not need a down rigger. poor mans down rigger 4 or 5 ounces of slip sinker in front of the dodger add a rubber snubber in front of the lure prevents the heavy sinker from ripping the hook out of the fishes mouth.

Washington state is very popular Kokanee fresh lakes fishing. Most lakes has a 10 fish limit. To make this more fun buying Beads, spinner blades, clevse for wedding rings. plastic small squid for hootchies. Making my own lures saves about 2 or 3 dollars per lure. making several lures different color patterns adds up. Supplying lures and rigging up rods for 4 or 5 people fishing. Yep it can be fun.

WA State Dept Fish Wildlife is $65million in the red. Fishing opportunties and Hunting success dewindles what happens when license are over priced. Out doorsmen/women stop fishing and hunting. Plus mismanagement the coffers drys up. I hate to see kids never have a chance to catch a fish or hunt for game.
I taught fishing classes when it was Fishing not drugs. Kids and and first time adults just wanted to catch a fish. after they wanted to catch lots of fish. then it was I want catch a big fish So on it went. The program ended we were volunteer teachers. Any other states going the same route?

One thing is you are filling your reel backwards. Mono line has memory. It must reel on your reel the same way it comes off the main filler spool. When you first start filling the reel let your line go slack if it twists up turn your filler spool over, I have a piano bench with a low cross bar. I place my filler spool against the cross bar and next to a side bar. when I reel the filler spool spins away from me the mono lays on your reel with correct memory. Good luck

When fishing catch elease use barbless hooks Fish with flies stay away from any kinds of bait. where it's legal you can fish a fly behind a weithed float. Go barbless.

Yep Custer WA fish Samish Lake And Whatcom Lake.
