Barbless trebles or siwash?
|
|
Now that Columbia regs state we all have to change out our hooks on the million or two salmon/steelhead plugs that every fisherman has.I was wondering what would be the best hooks to use in this situation.Seems to me using a barbless treble might be more opt to pop out than say a siwash or sickle hook.I do know from my experience fishing selective water that putting a small barrel swivel between the hook and snap ring helps keep the fish from throwing the hook....

Our Lund Renegade 1650, Before and After
|
|
Shortly after we purchased our Lund I promised that I would keep everyone up to date with the upgrades, improvements and our overall satisfaction with the boat. But first, as an interesting side note; sadly Lund has removed the Renegade 1650 from their product line up. They had a niche following here on the west coast but overall the Renegade model line fell short of their sales performance goals. I guess that our boat is truly one of a kind. Over the years I have owned everything from kayaks to... [read more]

Kokanee Fever, Kokanee Katching Thoughts Revisited
|
|
With the warmer weather it seems as though there is a renewed interest in kokanee fishing here in Western Washington. A number of fellow WashingtonLakers have already had successful kokanee outings on Lake Stevens, a popular north end kokanee lake. The other day while heading south to Everett to drop some recently fabricated boat parts off at the powder coater I was talking with my grandson (he never stops talking…) and he asked what a kokanee was. After my initial response that it was &l... [read more]

purple glow flatfish
|
|
I have seen many reports about using the purple glow flatfish (T4 or U20) on Lake Chelan for lake trout. I have tried to locate these on the internet with no luck. Are they called something else? Could someone tell me where I can purchase them?... [read more]

Steelhead: No egg? No Problem!
|
|
Well, although many rivers in the state are now closed for Steelhead fishing, there are still some opportunities from now through April, including the Skookumchuck, Wynoochee and a few others. I thought I should make a quick comment on what to do if you like fishing bait, but have no access or ran out of a seasons supply of roe! Many people have asked me to buy eggs off me, the first thing I tell them is... you dont need to! Ever since I started Steelhead fishing, I cannot say that I have caught... [read more]

What a Catch!
|
|
Now where did that rseas guy go? He seems to do this every year, come along the end of October he disappears only to be found occasionally lurking in the forums. OK, I'm guilty. I don't know what happens with the 4th quarter but each year the rseas spare time machine always seems to be down for parts. This year though we have a good excuse, I now have a reason to buy more rods, reels and fishing gear. I have a new fishing buddy.
What the heck, what am I talking about? With the usual end of t... [read more]

How to Get That Fish You Just Hooked on the String
|
|
So you’ve put in your hours on the river, bought all the
tackle, fished a float, drift fished, filled your tackle box up and now you’ve
finally hooked your first fish! That’s
the moment when you see that float down, and you feel the hard tug of a big
fish. Your adrenaline is pumping. You’re drag starts singing. You rod’s doubled
over and you’re knee deep in the water and just holding on. Now what?
Hooking a fish is hard enough, but when you get it on you
are only h... [read more]
