Seattle area and Olympic Peninsula
I just joined Ifish. I retired recently in Seattle. I was born and raised in Portland but I left there 30 years ago. I'd like to move back, probably to Vancouver area, but I can't talk that woman who lives in my house into the idea.
I used to fish the Trask, Wilson, Sandy, Springers etc. and I still come down to OR for the fall chinook run at Tillamook Bay and for Springers.
I fish Puget Sound a lot (Blackmouth fishing has really gone downhill), the Strait, BC and the Olympic Peninsula Rivers (Bog, Hoh, Sol Duc).
I would appreciate any news on fishing in these areas. The Bog has been really good for hatchery fish (Dec/Jan run) and the natives will start up around mid Feb and run into April. Lot of wild fish around there. For example, there is a one fish daily limit on wild steelhead, and poss limit of two on all the rivers. Not that I recommend killing wild fish, but it does illustrate that those runs are strong.
This Ifish discussion board is a real asset. I don't know of anything like this for NW Washington. Does anyone know if there is a good discussion board for us northern guys?
