Hi Ray,

Yes that breakfast was one thing I will remember for a very long time. I am looking forward to seeing you again in April. What is this I hear about you going to Alaska?? Sounds like a real fun trip! Later Lyle

O-boy another fishing trip, but what's this about Pat not bringing along the sealion bait. With all this talent we might have caught that sucker and shipped him back to the Ballard Locks. Sounds like another fun week-end up river. Maybe this year we'll be able to land one of those springers on our own boat, or i might need a refresher coarse too.

Folks,

Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about but doesn't the spring salmon season on the stretch of the river (521 in the Washington regs) close up on the last day of March? In my copy of the WA Sport Regs - I see Jan 1 to March 31 for salmon.... Our regs are so damn complicated maybe I'm reading them wrong but someone else please take a look. I'd hate to see all these C-brats getting all worked up for something that might not happen (but if you've been married for a long time, you're used to that already... Embarassed

)

I suspect the closure you are referring to marks the end of the 2004 fishing season on March 31st. The 2005 season begins on April 1st.
They'll shut down the fishing when the catch quota is met. Last year that was on April 15th if memory serves me.

Hey Larry,

the Cathlamet trip sound's like a hoot. Can you find room there in the harbor for a boy and his wooden boat? I'd love to join the fun.

Dale P.S. I'll be alone as Rosemary will have just left for Spain.

Pat, good to hear ya. Glad you're still talking to me. Are you and Patty coming to Cathlamet? Selling the boat huh. Are you going for a 25'?

Don't know about Patty, I will be at Catheterdalametdam with or without a boat, HOPE I can find a place to sleep and hitch a ride for the fishin'...

Ok, I had this silly wild eyed idea that I could take my 8 weight fly rod and tie up some large super delicious looking flies and catch me a 15 pound springer. Then I did my research. Forget it. I would need a 10 weight minimum, better yet a 12 weight. Seems these fish are not your late fall milling about the creek mouth kings. These fish are super turbo charged monsters. And springers are not too interested in flys. I hear that they like those anchove wrapped Kwikfish. So, I am gearless in Tacoma, and I better re-think this adventure. Robbi
