Re: Whatcom creek steelhead !

I was thinking of heading up north to Canada, however I don't have a passport, enhanced drivers liscense or a nexus pass for travel. Obviously a twic card don't work, and from what I've read from a few of the posts the vedder would be the closest-- as far as regs I do believe whatcom creek is open u...

Have only caught 1 on the Nooksack this year and released it thinking it wasn't in season on the north fork, any good recommendations less then 2 hours or so from Bellingham wa?

Re: Wild Fish Conservancy files suit over hatcheries

As Owen Hayes (outdoor GPS) has stated before, the WFC is a bunch of loony's and has too much time on their hands.... 1 question I would ask of anyone who reads this is --- If the state is not planting smolt on the Nooksack river this year ( and they stated they didn't plant any last year 2014 and y...

Re: An interesting find about the nooksack river---

I was just talking to a co-worker about this same issue... He is 61 and still on his hands and knees roofing daily, he was telling me that he used to fish the Nooksack in the early 70's before Bolts decision changed things for the worst... He stated the rivers were chocked full of fish, including on...

Re: An interesting find about the nooksack river---

I would have to agree with all of the replys so far, without an accurate fish count by the natives there will never be a truly accurate count of any species of salmon or trout in the nooksack. The current regulations set back in 74 by bolt is absurd in 2015 times. I can say that haven't been fishing...

Re: whatcom creek

still a few more weeks of fishing up there, I personally wont go there anymore after hearing the issues folks have had. I wish to find solitude and peace by myself or with a friend, but not arm to arm combat salmon fishing.....

Re: Coho Counts on the nooksack

I am unfortunately in the same predicament with out a boat. Fishing for salmon has been quite fun and yet frustrating as well at times. Im an east coast fisherman ( Maryland, where we fish for BASS on the Potomac river and troll off the coast of north Carolina for tuna..) Not the same here in Washin...

Re: whatcom creek

There is no such thing as common sense on this water... Recently watched a fisherman with 1500 pound Para cord on his reel snag a hefty 20+ pound chum only to loose it under tension, the guy to his immediate right got a 3 ounce pyramid to the head, knocking his hat into the water and gashing him ope...
