Re: Crappie in Black Lake, Thurston Co.

I can't show you any spots (I'm a bit away from there) but crappie love wood...docks, fallen trees, limb piles. Rock piles are good place to check too. I'm no expert but those are the types of places I've found them with any consistency. They can be a weird fish though cause at times they'll school...

I have tried several times to fish for them and have always got skunked. I can catch trout on this lake, but the crappie and perch have eluded me to the point of embarra...

Re: North of Falcon: A Dismal Failure in Co-Management

Tracker, I respect your opinion. And I understand that there are a some people who feel the same way. Unfortunately, doing the same thing over and over only results in the same thing. I can assure you. This is not about just wanting to "get more". It's about preventing that from happening, since tha...

North of Falcon: A Dismal Failure in Co-Management

Sports fishermen have yet again taken a big hit in the 2019 North of Falcon. Particularly hard hit was the sportsmen and women who enjoy the fisheries of Puget Sound. Many people in our sport rarely dig into the mechanics of the North of Falcon process. I dare say, many don't even know what it is. R...

Re: Salmon in trouble

Lower numbers of adult and juvenile fish in the salt chuck coupled with the very low water conditions we have been experiencing could add up to a crash in salmon runs. Although we can continue to pump hatchery fish into the system, their needs to be a MAJOR mind shift in the management models. We ca...

Re: Tribal gil nets are in the water in MA 10

Here are a few things the State can and should do if they truly supported open and fair fisheries management. The Director of the WDFW could, for starters; 1. Formally request mediation. 2. Request assistance from the Governor and his office of tribal affairs. 3. Ask the WDFW Commission to open a di...

Re: State loses contract to operate two fish hatcheries after report of sexual culture

Thank you Larry for posting this. It is truly unfortunate that even other gov't agencies can see how incompetent WDFW is in running our hatcheries. This is most unfortunate, since the momentum gained will be to eliminate even more hatcheries, or turn them over to the tribes.
