2022 was an incredible year of new hunting experiences and also some challenges and missed opportunities. I want to share what went well, what didn’t and what I’ve learned from it in a way that will hopefully help you on your learning journey as well.
So, as I’ve shared earlier, I’ve got this place in Prosser, WA that I rent out as an AirBnB / VRBO and I’ve been beyond excited to spend time over there myself enjoying the unique harvest opportunities that are more suited for the areas east of the Cascades.
So last weekend, I decided to try my hand at goose hunting!
What’s really going on with the Chehalis River winter steelhead season of 2022-2023? Why are recreational anglers being denied access to consume hatchery steelhead and coho which have been raised for the purpose of consumption via the license fees we’ve spent?
Is this all to protect and conserve the vital wild stocks of steelhead whose numbers have dipped precipitously over the last decade and haven’t shown signs of recovery?
Some of the answers may surprise you…
The long-anticipated (dreaded?) clarity on regulations for the Washington coast steelhead season has arrived. Keep reading to be enlightened (disappointed?)…
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but things are not looking good for our Washington Coastal Steelhead season in 2022-2023, in fact, my “too early prediction” is that we won’t have seasons on *most* of our favorite coastal rivers this year.
Historically, the Puyallup and Carbon Rivers are places you can fish 7 days a week for several months of the summer/fall, and thousands of people each year look forward to this wonderful part of the calendar.
However, in 2022 the fishing regulations have changed significantly, limiting how many days a week these rivers can be fished and the months they are open. This blog article gets to the bottom of why things changed.
WDFW Announced recently the closure of salmon fishing in Marine Area 5 on odd days in the month of July which has caused some anglers to consider canceling their trips to Sekiu.
We just got back from an incredible camping trip to Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park. This post is about our time there as a family and to provide the information you need to have a fantastic trip and camping experience!
The above photo still makes me laugh! How we captured this moment still astounds me. Proper crab handling is an important topic, but so are the details of the 2022 Puget Sound Crab season which has just been announced!
Here are some things you need to know to have a great crab season in Puget Sound in 2022.
If you have been used to catching your limit of spot shrimp in depths of 250+ in recent years, then 2022 has been a serious curve ball.
We typically shrimp in Hood Canal and we have a spot we hit where we routinely pull up 100+ shrimp per pot in 45-60 minute soaks. So on the first mid-week opener in May when we were pulling up 20-40 shrimp per pot in the exact same spot, it was a bit of a head scratcher.
