WDFW -- The Weekender Report: Licensing options expand with fishing opportunities
Fishing: The region's two "bubble" fisheries for chinook salmon are under way in Tulalip and Elliott bays. The fishery on Tulalip Bay has been open on weekends since early June, and the downtown Seattle waterfront fishery just got started July 8, but neither has been red-hot. "We've been at the boat ramps that provide access to both bubbles from dawn to dusk, and there just aren't many fishing coming in," said Patrick "Slim" Simpson, a WDFW fish sampler in the region. "Most of the catches in the Elliott Bay bubble were resident blackmouth, and the fishing was pretty good during the first two days of the opening weekend. But by the third day of the opener, only a handful of fish were caught," Simpson said. "The Tulalip bubble has never really taken off, although a few of the chinook we've checked have weighed in the mid 20s." Simpson said the largest fish out of Elliott Bay checked in at about 22 pounds. Fishing has been best early in the morning for anglers slowly trolling large spo ... [Read More]

“I've always believed that fish and wildlife are the soul of Alaska. In Alaska there is just a connection to our resources. Whether it's sport hunting and fishing, wildlife viewing, or the commercial aspects of fishing and tourism, there is this tremendous, direct use relationship.

Most freshwater anglers who are freshwater fishing often have the room, storage facilities/containers to facilitate the temporary preservation of the trophy. However, I have found in my years of being involved in the taxidermy/ wildlife artistry business that most anglers are seldom prepared to assist in the process of field care. ... [Read More]
