Christian McCourtie, age 8, strains to bring in a big steelhead, one of a few he landed while fishing with Shane Magnuson, Upper Columbia Guide Service.

I took the last trip in Bob Feil Boats and Motors Jetcraft to Bridgeport for steelhead fishing, and this is one of the fish I caught. A new Kingfisher is already on the way. Look for it this season!

I had a great time floating the Methow River and fly fishing for steelhead. Shown here with our catch is Jim Passage of Lake Wenatchee and guide Jeff Brazda. I can't say enough about Brazda and his help.

Here I am with Joe Barrett, middle, and John Gustin with our catch of kings from the Hanford Reach area of the Columbia River. We had a blast with Shane Magnuson, Upper Columbia Guide Service, and were back to ramp by noon.

I jumped on board Shane Magnuson’s boat at Vernita recently, to fish finish shooting a video for my Fishing TV Show. He had clients along, Joe Barrett and John Gustin, and after they limited they let me fish and get my limit, too! Great guys, great day.

I caught two triploids on the same day at Fish Lake recently. I got this one on my 5-weight fly rod. All the trout loved a particular fly, and Tom Bartlett is going to tie some up so we have a good supply.

Everyone knows that trout fishing at Fish Lake, near Lake Wenatchee is great in the fall, and there can be some big surprises. Tom Bartlett, shown here, shows off one of the triploids I caught on my 3-weight fly rod!

I was happy to get this Nehalem River king to the net. I fought it for an hour and eight minutes in the heavy current of outgoing tide and the way it was hooked allowed to use this current to its benefit.

Mike Kitner of Wenatchee hefts a king weighing over 30 pounds that hooked in the jaws on the Nehalem River. Richard Robinson put us on lots of kings while fishing here. Kitner caught a bigger one later.

Renaud Pelletier shows off one of many smallmouth we caught on his boat while fishing the Columbia River in the Gorge. We caught many in the 3-pound class, fishing drop shot rigs or top water lures.
