Got an update from my friend Dave Severson last week on his first trip out to the Olympic Peninsula. He and Kory did some serious exploring with the Spey Rod on too many rivers to mention. Although no fish were landed many were hooked and battled. Some of them lost to the death roll next to beach and others were called on un-necessary roughness for being to hot to handle. Here are some images from his trip. Thanks Dave.

The Mossy Trees in along the rivers in NW Washington are a marvel to look at.

Big Water..

My Friend Adam Wintle sent this along to me. This fish was caught this past weekend while Ice Fishing on Mossehead Lake in Maine. They must have needed to chizel out the hole to get this thing outta ‘da ice….yesssssah. Just a Pissah of a fish.

There has been some serious discussion about the 30+/- pound Native Steelhead that was caught and killed on the Hoh River a couple weeks ago. There have been many that were out raged that he killed the fish becasue he wanted a skin mount, thinks it is a record….etc. I am not here to take sides although I was there when this all went down and the boys I chum around with up there were not happy with English Pete. All that a side, I have had discussions with some of my fishing boys regarding the size of this fish, we know that there are fish caugh/released each year in BC this size so why would this guy think that his fish is a record? especially after seing THIS. There was an interesting post over on moldy chum regarding this issue if you want more info on the subject. I just thought that I would show some more picture of fish that are clearly just as big or bigger that have been release and not taken to the “taxidermy man.” Any thoughts?

This is the fish that was taken out of the Hoh River. Estimated to be about 30lbs.


These fish were caught a few years ago in BC while my friends Jason and Kory where up there. You be the Judge.
