While I haven't been posting, I have
been fishing. Most of those trips were spent at the Washougal river.
I can leave my house and be in the water in less than 15 minutes.
So, it makes a great place to go for an hour or two here and there.
I've yet to catch a fish here. It is
just now getting the winter steelhead run. Unfortunately, it has
been a dry fall/winter and I don't think many fish have pushed in yet. As
I type, it has been raining for the past two days. Things should
change.
This is really a beautiful place to
fish. With the moss covered trees, waterfalls pouring into the
river, and lush growth, it is hard to believe it is so close to our
house. There are plenty of riffles, pools, and runs to keep one
occupied. I've been doing a lot of exploring and finding what I believe will be good fish holding spots.
My wife and I are expecting our second
child in only a few short weeks. Hopefully, I can get a few more days
in before. Once the birth happens, I won't be fishing much.
I also made a trip to the Sandy river
earlier this week. Stay tuned for a report.
