Rookie,

There is a day long Saturday seminar on February 24th being held in Renton. Tom Nelson, long-time salmon fishing instructor from Highline and Bellevue Community Colleges, along with John Keizer, Joe Pecaro (sp), Tom Pollack and others. Topics covered will include all types of salmon fishing; mooching, jigging, and downrigger fishing. Halibut and bottomfish techniques will also be covered...eight hours of instruction-60 bucks. I have not taken the class but the reports I have heard are good.. Contact Tom Nelson (206)-772-6882 or John Keizer (253) 565-6598...I would also second the suggestion to join PSA (Puget Sound Anglers)...the website for their newsletter is www.thereelnews.com.

Tight Lines!
