Dave Graybill – Outdoor Line Blogger We have a lot of good fishing options in the winter season in our region. One in particular has been a long-time favorite, and that is fishing for triploid trout on Rufus Woods Reservoir. This 50-mile long impoundment on the Columbia River stretches from Chief Joseph Dam in Bridgeport, to Grand […]
Would you rather make one eye-popping shot or never miss? Can you do either? In the autumn of 1908 in what is now lower Tanzania, elephant hunter James Sutherlin fired the right-hand barrel of his .577 into the chest of a bull. Heart intact, the elephant charged. The second shot also missed its mark. The […]
By Dave Graybill We are blessed with many clear and calm days throughout the winter months here in Eastern Washington. That will encourage kokanee anglers to launch their boats to take advantage of the great kokanee fishing available to them on Lake Chelan. The good kokanee fishing in the winter months surprised anglers last year. […]
by Jason Brooks With all of the rain predicted this week and warmer temperatures making for swollen rivers that means that the “B” run Coho will be arriving! Fish have been trickling in for the past few weeks, pushing in with the last of the chums. Now that the wet weather is here the late […]
by Dave Graybill I had a fantastic week of fishing. My adventures included another trip to Banks Lake for walleye, spending opening day of salmon season with Shane Magnuson at Chelan Falls, and even an afternoon at Evergreen Reservoir for smallmouth bass. I spent Tuesday at Banks Lake with Lars Larson, the Coulee Dam Chamber […]
I just ran across this photo from a flyfishing trip I took years ago to the Green River in Utah. While the Utah Parks Gastapo was busy searching our boat for beer, order cigarettes, and porn this rig pulls up with two driftboats in tow. “Where the hell are we…Mars?”, I jabbed towards the uptight […]
The Pacific Northwest Sportsman show is in full swing and the crowds thus far have been pretty impressive. This is the biggest Sportsman Show on the West coast and it’s well worth spending a day or two walking the isles. I am down here once again, all week, manning the Pautzke booth with fellow Pro Staffers John […]
My boys and I always talk about catching record fish and how cool that would be. Mustad has now come up with a million reasons to go out and do more than talk. Mustad is having their Hook A Million contest. Catch an IGFA all tackle world record on a Mustad hook and you could […]
Well, the first ever Outdoor Line Billfish Bonanza is in the books and without exception, a great time was had by all who attended! After the three days of fishing the TOL crew sets up for the awards banquet. Here, Kathy Nelson readies the raffle prizes and Robbie Tobeck surveys the banner in La Iguana, the […]
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. That fresh-from-the-grill taste is only attainable, well, when it's fresh-from-the-grill. With fishery closures up and down […]
