You are welcome in my boat anytime Shannon, and a bit earlier next year might just be the ticket.

See you then and wishing you all the best until then.


Take care.

My personal rods (3 of them) are all Rich-Make #760's, representing 7' 6" long, but I don't know what blanks they used.

I'll find out for you and let you know.

Should be some knowledgeable types at the clubhouse tonight, end of season and all that.

Catch you later.


Take care.

So cool as I'm a huge fan of Richmake Rods. Previous poster is correct that most of Richmake rods were Lamiglass blanks.
My most favorite Coho rod was a 7' Richmake!

Thank you Dave for another great articled evidentiary acclaim of the awe enspiring Tyee Pool 2019. Love hearing the stories about yours and your fellow rowers trials and tribulations. A pleasure to read every year, and something every angler should experience at least once in their lifetime.

Thanks Dave for another fine thread. This is always my favorite read of the year on this forum. I hope to get up there some day and fish with you.

Sincerely,
The aforementioned stickler.

@Dave H, always so fun to read this. Great writing style. Always lots of great stories here on this forum but you, @Sharphooks and @IronNoggin take it to the next level with your individual writing skills.

Cheers,

Thanks for the best fishing reports on the web. Maybe take it to the next level some time? I know you've got a lot more stories stashed, so how about a book? "From Surfing Bum to Tyee Guide"

 

[Dave H]

Thanks to all of you for your very kind words. I truly appreciate them. Who wouldn't?

As always, it's been lots of fun doing this the past number of years and it's always nice to have your efforts applauded, particularly if you're just a wanna-be writer such as I.

I enjoy story telling, and I enjoy the comedic parts of life, often found where least expected. Here's an example of that.

If you go to YouTube and type in "tales from the tyee pool" in the search box at top of page, the trailer from what Josh has on tape pops up, top of the list.

If you scroll down a bit and check the other options you'll come across the following: "Fishing for Huge Salmon in a Rowboat," a home-made video about Tyee fishing.

Now, I don't really consider myself the ultimate expert on things like this, but is that really fair?

I mean, how much space is there in a rowboat and where could the salmon hide?

And if you hook one, how much fight can they put up, being so confined and all that?

I think what we do, fishing for huge salmon in the ocean, FROM a rowboat, is much more difficult.

Know what I mean?

Anyway, thanks again for your kindnesses, any and all of you are welcome to spend time in my boat next year. Contact me after I start up again next July 15th. and we'll find you a spot. I reserve no dates for anyone before then, and it's first come first served.

And I might even share the story of surviving a shart attack, then falling in and hurting myself trying to avoid being caught on the beach in the surf, being generated by a passing cruise ship.

Or not.




Take care.

Always a pleasure to meet up again with you Dave, and to enjoy a few laps around the pool. One of these days a fish will find its way into that rowboat.
You have all winter now to practice your gondola singing repertoire

You have a unique ability to give the reader the sense of what it is like during each and every tide you fish, the trials and tribulations, the ebb and flow so to speak. Thanks again for taking the time to share with us the experiences you have with the rowing community and your guests. I am very much looking forward to next years "Tales from the Tyee pool" and hopefully the bell will toll for you and your guests next year.
