Fly Fishing Report: January 2020
Happy New Year everyone and thanks for a strong finish to 2019. We hope you all enjoyed a warm, safe and fun-filled Holiday season. While it’d be a bald-faced lie to say fishing in the North Sound region is anytime approaching red hot right now, there’s still some opportunity and with a little patience, determination […]
Fly Fishing Report: December 2019
It’s hard to believe another year has nearly passed us by and we’re winding down into the final few weeks. There’s still fishing to be had amidst the hustle and bustle of holiday activities. Fishing isn’t always red hot this time of year, but some pretty decent opportunities remain despite the sometimes crummy weather. Our […]
Fly Fishing Report: September 2019
September is upon us and with it some cooler weather and wetter skies that for us mark a shift in focus back to our cold water salmonids. Salmon are making their way through the Puget Sound and into our rivers, bull trout are continuing their upstream journeys to stage below their spawning tributaries, bugs are […]
Fly Fishing Report: August 2019
Beating the heat is the name of the game. As a fair-skinned dude of Danish descent, I’m not really wired for hot weather. I get sluggish, nauseated and bake in the sun like an overcooked steak. I know we’re not accustomed to real heat here in the Northwest but anything over 75 gets me seeking […]
Fly Fishing Report: July 2019
Welcome back summer, our old friend. My how we’ve missed you! Along with the sunny skies, heat and days that linger long into the witching hour, our Northwest Washington summers bless us with a exciting array of fisheries, some in full swing, some just on the horizon. The shop bustles with people coming and going, […]
Fly Fishing Report: June 2019
Good golly it’s nice out these days! We’re getting spoiled on both the weather and the fishing fronts lately with so many different options out there and pretty fine conditions in which to enjoy them. Pick your poison: lakes, rivers, ponds, streams, swamps…it’s just about all open and fishing. The hardest decision is just figuring […]
Fly Fishing Report: April 2019
Spring has most certainly sprung and along with it came one of the nicest Marches I can remember. Day upon day of T-shirt weather, birds chirping, buds blossoming and lots and lots of sun. Depending on your choice of fisheries, the weather has been both good and bad. Lakes are certainly warming, chironomid hatches are […]
Fly Fishing Report: March 2019
As a short month, February seemingly slipped by me in a wink. Between limited fishing opportunities, blankets of snow and abysmally cold weather, there just wasn’t much to report. Most years, February is a month I just can’t wait to send packing. Admittedly, I was also a bit distracted by an upcoming trip to Christmas […]

January seems like a fine time to reflect on the achievements, adventures and tribulations of days on the water in 2018. We’ve said it before, […]
