My St. Croix Avid Inshore rod was a perfect choice for the kayak as well as light tackle fishing from shore This past year I bought a new St. Croix Avid Inshore Spinning Rod.  My choice was a 7 foot 3 inch model that was rated medium heavy for lures in the 1/2 to 1 1/4 oz. range.  By the way that rating was perfect. This rod was a beautiful ligh...

This shocked me but after last winter I am gun shy about the Crooked with all the persistent high water that began in December and last well into spring.

After seeing the weather forecast last night I figured we'd be hug'n the bank today to keep out of the wind It wasn't expected to be too bad - up to 14mph but enough to make things interesting. I met Bob Kossman down at Sawpit Creek early and we made a run up the intracoastal then up the Back River and around to Pumpkin Hill where we set up with f...

It is mostly a wash-out throughout the entire Pacific NW with very few fishable rivers. The one that is still fishable for sure is the Fall River and I am not sure I trust the gauges on the Crooked but the internet says the flow from Bowman Dam remains 100 cfs.
