Northwest Fishing Reports

so yesterday morning i got up early to run down and fish the skook. did my gear check and put my tags & a pen in the zippered pouch on my waders. everything is ready to go and i head out. i pulled up by the salmon intake, nobody's around. i walk to see what i can see. there a couple old kings hanging next to the bank and then i see a flash from the slot. after watching for about 10 minutes i see about a dozen bright fish milling around. i'm excited at this point, good looking fish holding and no pressure on them. i head up to the truck to gear up. while i'm dressing i'm having a mental debate about whether to throw a spinner or twitch first knowing i'm gonna get at least one quick coho. i finish dressing and put the rods together and a quick double check that i got everything. i find that somehow my tags are gone.

now i'm tossing the truck completely baffled how they could've vanished. thinking maybe i dropped them in the in-laws driveway i undress and head back. once i get there i hunt around and there's no sign of them. at that point i decide i'm done and accepted my fate. didnt feel like dealing with walmart for replacement tags.

Ouch! What a disappointing way to discover that. Sorry. I'm so paranoid about potentially forgetting my license that I check my vest to make sure it's there even if i haven't removed it between trips.

i'm paranoid about them too. i usually check on them once a day at home and a few times while on the water.

ended up taking the kid to a pumpkin patch party. thats almost as good as fishing
