That's Awesome. My boat is out of commission for a little while but eager to get back out. (Working on some preventative maintenance items) Nice to see that there are still some around.

I was wondering why I had not seen you on the water. Hope you can get back out soon.

Many years ago there was an excellent early rin of coho ( bluebacks) off 10 milepoint, haven't seen them in probably 15 years. Lots of fun with a 3 weight fly rod

Hi beautiful day and I have just a couple of hours The Flats? Or Gap? I got a nice big feeder in the gap a couple of weeks ago? Advice please

Head to the flats Tom..nice ebb happening.
Some of us fished them from shore off of 10 Mile Point and it was a large run. The 3 inch heavy pink pearl buzz bomb, sometimes with a little red or pink nail polish added was the hot casting lure at that time for the large Bluebacks. Bit of a tradition for us to head down there on Boxing Day and very easy to catch your 4 Coho limit for a change after all the turkey. Some were clipped and I sent in some heads and they sent me back a response saying they were from the Bellingham Hatchery. You could also catch them from a boat mid winter and early spring around the corner in Baynes Channel.

Spent a couple of hours on the flats today beautiful weather my first ball hit the bottom and immediately a fish was on just a little hatch and I almost let it go. glad I kept it as I am looking forward to salmon breakfast and no bites after. Quite unhappy at the movie company at Cattle point they parked a big truck next to me and it was very difficult backing up to the ramp
