December 20, 2012

By my count there’s only five days until Christmas and some of you may be looking for an easy gift for the angler in your life that just loves to eat salmon. That’s me…I love to eat salmon and everything else for that matter. A friend introduced me to Johnny’s Salmon Finishing Sauce a couple […]

How to Make a Durable Yarnie for Steelhead

December 20, 2012

There is obviously more then one way to tie a yarnie. When it comes to creating Steelhead lures I want to be certain of two things. One, what I am using needs to look and perform as I envisioned it and two, I want to make sure it’s durable. Having confidence in what you are offering and not […]

Hidden Gem, Ranch House BBQ

When you see a bunch of Harley’s parked outside a restaurant on the weekend you can bet there’s some good eats to be had inside. There’s one thing that bikers and outdoorsman have in common…they love to eat good food! I’ve been driving by Ranch House BBQ on Hwy 101 west of Olympia, Washington for […]

December 16, 2012

Steelhead Egg Candy in a Wet Brine

December 4, 2012

I recently received a small cooler with 24 fresh Steelhead skeins in it from a good buddy of mine. “Thank You Andy”. The timing is perfect as I was hoping to get some more eggs and get them cured up in one of my favorite and easiest Steelhead cures, that I have been using the […]

Duck in Bourbon Cream Sauce

December 2, 2012

I’m always surprised at how many people grumble about the edibility of ducks and geese. Sure they’re not a ribeye steak, but given the right recipe they can be delicious.
