0:00
what just because we ate turkey
0:01
yesterday we're not gonna make this
0:03
week's video we've got late fall cool
0:05
highlights on spinners and twitching
0:09
we've got sexy chanterelle picks
0:11
steelhead updates are we gonna find out
0:14
soon whether we have a season or not and
0:16
of course we're gonna talk about razor
0:18
clams we got an update from wfw on that
0:21
let's go right to the highlights with me
0:23
and my friends took a guided trip on the
0:25
Chehalis River for late fall Coho it's
0:53
they're way bigger up there in Alaska
0:56
I know you've done that before
1:07
I've got this doing this
1:11
I've been taking a handoff let's give it
1:16
I'm gonna laugh at fishing guide
1:25
really important super Slackline bite
1:28
twice he didn't hook up the first time
1:32
yeah mine didn't bite super hard either
1:39
look at that look at that
1:41
in Alaska even the trees
1:45
oh come on that's great I love it barely
1:50
in there that would have wrapped about
1:52
six wraps around yeah
2:06
all right I'll take a freaking uh
2:37
all right so let's talk about what's new
2:38
from wdfw uh first of all we've got the
2:41
still guamish River the Steely open for
2:44
coho uh to the end of the month I saw a
2:46
comment on the Vlog uh that uh a fly
2:49
fisherman caught a couple Coho so
2:51
definitely check that out if you're in
2:53
the area that's uh beautiful beautiful
2:55
River and and then wfw came out and gave
2:58
us an update on the razor clam situation
2:59
of course if you were watching last
3:01
week's video you already know that the
3:03
razor clam situation is not looking good
3:05
and what are we talking about we're
3:07
talking about demolish acid levels uh
3:09
above safe uh consumption levels so
3:13
these razor clams are gonna stay in the
3:15
sand but uh clams are just gonna get
3:18
bigger and fatter and be there for
3:20
Harvest when these when these toxin
3:21
levels come down so we'll get a shot at
3:23
them but just uh probably not anytime in
3:26
the next month or so and then last on
3:28
here uh there's a couple
3:29
um winter steelhead River primers I've
3:33
been putting up there on the blog so
3:35
this week I wrote about the wainucci and
3:38
of course the Scoop from Chuck uh the
3:40
Shameless is the subject of most of the
3:42
controversy around the winter steelhead
3:44
Seasons coming up and so I just try to
3:45
give people a primer what to expect the
3:47
forecast the regulations
3:50
um history and escapement going to pnw
3:52
bestlife.com check those out I've got a
3:55
few more of these to write still on like
3:58
the Lewis Kalama River pretty much
4:00
anywhere where you got uh Hatchery
4:01
winter Steelheads in the state of
4:03
Washington I'm gonna ride a primer
4:05
article on it I'm not giving away
4:06
fishing spots or putting fishing reports
4:10
up there so you still gotta do some leg
4:12
work but this is just to give you a nice
4:14
place where all the data publicly
4:16
available it will tell you kind of
4:18
what's going on with our our winter
4:20
steel at Fisheries hey if you're
4:22
enjoying this video finding it
4:24
entertaining and informative give a like
4:26
drop the subscription in there that way
4:28
you can get more of these I make them
4:30
every week pretty much consistently this
4:31
is number six plus a lot more pnw
4:38
all right let's look at the data uh
4:41
we've got a cold trickling in and most
4:43
places is really really slowed down they
4:46
still have a chance on this gadget you
4:47
still have a chance on the Cowlitz for
4:49
sure some would say that the December
4:51
late November Coho and the Cowlitz uh
4:53
bite much better than the earlier Coho
4:55
so uh you can keep that in mind
4:58
um on on as you saw from the highlights
5:00
you know we had our trip on the Chehalis
5:02
and the Chehalis Cove situations
5:04
definitely slowed down quite a bit but
5:07
you've got a lot of fish coming still
5:09
heading up to the Skookum Chuck uh
5:11
Hatchery you got one more week at this
5:13
uh let's less WWE changes things but you
5:17
know you can give that a try they're a
5:18
little bit more spread out uh but uh we
5:21
were able to get them to go limited uh
5:24
early it was it was an awesome time
5:26
nothing crazy on the winter steelhead
5:29
front yet still waiting for some of
5:30
these Rivers uh to report their first
5:33
Hatchery steelhead escaped that doesn't
5:35
mean they don't have them at the
5:36
Hatchery sometimes with Hatchery
5:37
managers they hold on to those just a
5:39
little bit just a little bit so this is
5:41
the time when when some of these Rivers
5:44
should have Hatchery steelhead we'll get
5:46
the regs updated on December 1st
5:48
definitely pay close attention to the
5:49
regs if you're gonna go try to go do
5:51
that this week you still got some some
5:53
Chambers Creek stock you know showing up
5:56
early on the Cowlitz don't get too
5:57
excited the bulk of that run is not
5:59
going to show up till it's a March and
6:01
into April and of course the Highlight
6:03
for data time is uh is Bitter Creek big
6:07
big push Chum uh this this past week
6:10
recorded and uh you can expect probably
6:12
an even bigger push next week so this is
6:15
this is prime time for murder Creek
6:20
all right so let's talk about our rec
6:23
opportunities for this week starting
6:26
November 25th what's coming up what you
6:28
can uh what you can look forward to uh
6:30
you get you gonna start with the weather
6:31
pattern uh we got some major major
6:34
changes coming uh in the week ahead
6:36
you've got much more precip and then
6:38
you've got some really cooler weather
6:40
coming in chance of snow and really the
6:43
the main concern with snow is is the the
6:45
temp drop after it snows so uh if you've
6:49
got snow sticking on roads and then
6:51
freezing that's going to make travel
6:52
really difficult so towards the end of
6:54
the week or the weekend uh if it if this
6:57
workout actually shows up you may have
6:59
to modify a plan based on just uh travel
7:03
um may not may not be able to head over
7:05
the past very easily to go to the
7:07
Eastern Washington for for anything
7:10
um so so just something to keep in mind
7:12
at the start of the week though it
7:13
should be pretty doable uh I'm really
7:15
looking forward to the big game hunting
7:17
opportunity I still got tag to fill and
7:20
I gotta spend some time in the woods get
7:22
that done on one of these one of these
7:24
gmus where you can hunt deer and and
7:28
late elk uh with a Muzzleloader so
7:31
that's what I'm gonna be doing I don't
7:32
know how much fishing I'm gonna do that
7:34
next week but you know on the fishing
7:36
front again prime time from inner Creek
7:38
prime time for some of these uh Chum
7:40
spots uh it may be worth it if the river
7:43
is open for winter steelhead uh going
7:45
and checking checking that out and some
7:47
of some of the usual places
7:50
you know the wit the crab winter crab
7:52
and Squid thing uh is uh not very alive
7:56
Around The Point Defiance uh but I hear
7:59
if you go further north of Marina 11 of
8:01
around bash on it's better uh certainly
8:04
if you go out around Elliott Bay
8:06
shilshol uh there's an opportunity to
8:08
get that done uh seeing pics on social
8:10
media the squid uh daytime as well and
8:15
uh in the winter crowds things should
8:16
should be popping off so and then you
8:18
know what you you gotta you got if you
8:20
if you're in the woods you gotta know
8:21
that this is still uh the chanterelle
8:24
time I couldn't believe some of the just
8:26
the quality and the uh condition of some
8:28
of the champ Trails I found this last
8:30
week I hope we get one more week of just
8:32
finding a really good fresh chanterelles
8:35
with all this rain coming down
8:37
um but we'll see and of course uh I've
8:39
got a little bit of merch here we got
8:40

8:42
