Several of us have been looking around for the tribal and NT 2026 season days and so far it is not up on either WDFW or QIN websites. Best I have for now is it is similiar to last years seasons.

They do freak out easily. To me, the "weather" will do as it will and likely isn't exactly what is predicted. As a society, we seem incapable of calmly looking at something; it has to be a crisis. But the long term trends scare me. Glac

Went searching and found a bass and panfish of Washington book from 2017. Probably get it on my next foray into online sales. Should add that juvenile Largemouth left Crocker and summered in Snow Creek. Found one in the fall that was 6-8" lo

Wow, never ending summer of droughts and weather doom. Kinda sounds like this state’s epa’s constant forecast of fires, droughts and the greatest of “little boys “ heading our ways. Kinda tiring and never ending it is. One could check out the U of

I'll look for the book, 28. My first work location was in the southern end of Discovery Bay. Crocker Lake was in the watershed. It had, according to the guys I talked to, one of the best Largemouth fisheries on the westside. On one OD, I checked a

Well it is looking more and more like a record El Nino. The next NOAA ENSO forecast will arrive June 11. A "very strong" El Niño could wreak havoc El Niño events occur every two to seven years, when shifts in wind and current patterns i

Mid May through June is always a good time for panfish. WDFW used to have an excellent document on their website that showed which lakes contain what type of warmwater fish. When they changed their website it and a bunch of other good info disappeare

There were times (60s and the 70s that I'm aware of) that WDG especially worked at developing access. Both walking and boat. It seems that most of the riverine access was at least initially designed for steelhead (salmon were supposed to be caught i

DW has pretty much got it all laid out. FL boat launch ended up this way for many reasons including WDFW brain surgeons help. Thing is this it is a two person launch you must take your boat to the floating dock a 100 ft or so down stream while your r
