OUTDOOR JOURNAL

It's one of those underrated November fisheries that lights up a handful of Washington and Oregon rivers

I hooked a Humpy, and as it charged toward the boat with my jig in its mouth, I could see a squad of 20 other Pinks chasing it!

as it emerged from the depths I could clearly see it was a walleye - and a nice one!

Once my fly was in the zone, I started slowly stripping my in line, and a fish hit it right away. I set the hook, but nothing was there. I let a bit more line out thinking the fish may still be following, and started slowly stripping in line again. This time the fish smacked it harder and I hooked into my first rockfish on a fly

it’s a tradition that runs deep, connecting families, friends, and communities to the outdoors.

Razor clam digging is a fantastic way for families, friends, or solo adventurers to enjoy a day at the beach

Walleye and eggs is amazing too, but never overlook some good old perch and bluegill for an awesome morning meal!
