By Dennis Dickson Fly fishing BC steelhead rivers is so magical. Sure, we have had our rain outs, wash-outs, busted boats, and broken vehicles. Somehow, these memories all jumble up in a warm and fuzzy place, and I can enjoy them time and time again. As I get older, I find myself pulling out these […]
Every once in awhile, through trial and error, you come up with something pretty good. That would be the case with my Salmon Chips. Only this time, I came up with something Damn Good….

In 2009 there was a request that WDFW consider a bag limit for all food fish that didn't already […]
It's pretty safe to say that you won't find many rice cakes on my dinner plate and friends who have ordered at restaurants with me often hear me ask,"How big is it?", or "How much food is there with this?" To keep this big frame moving at A.D.H.D. speed all day long I need to […]
Every time I cook fish there is invariably some leftovers that go in the fridge and no matter how well the Zip Loc bag or Tupperware container is sealed it's nearly impossible to keep the fish from drying out.
