Any local hook makers?

Was wondering if any of you knew of any companies in washington state that make hooks? Since Im filing for disability I thought I would give making flies, lurers, and rods a try via an online shop and I would rather buy from companies.

Re: WDFW lists where to catch "GOLDFISH!"

that is why I take my fish and put them in a bowl of water and stick em in the freezer for a half hour if I need to "get rid of them"...most humane way I can think of, would rather they succumb to hypothermia than be poisoned in the sewer lol. or be introduced as an non-native somewhere

New pole

For some reason my oldest son's pole twisted at the top over the winter so unfortunately (hehe) had to get him a new pole. I like buying them new fishing gear as much as buying it for myself.
