The tentative 2023-2024 salmon seasons are set and anglers can look forward to fisheries similar to 2022 with some added bonuses including millions of Puget Sound pink salmon and an improved coho forecast! For details, go to my Outdoor Line column at theoutdoorline.com/blog/post/2023…

I shared a few fishing stories today but failed to share these pics from a wonderful trip to Peregrine Lodge in Haida Gwaii. Capt Tom Outdoor Line got a 40 pound monster & my 23 pounder was a blast. Great people, tremendous camaraderie & lasting memories #Fishing

Tribes and non tribal hunters have objected to this policy. It is unbelievably misinformed for some of these commissioners to reject the need for consultation in their zeal to overturn traditions. Read this: nwsportsmanmag.com/6-tribes-reque…

I'm from the generation that thought this was a disaster & now many of us recognize that without Boldt & without tribes there would be few fish for any of us. Boldt forced the states to preserve salmon so that tribal & non tribal fishing peoples could express their own cultures.

Northwest Sportsman, Outdoor Line, Brandi Kruse and I all agree, Boldt is pivotal and under threat by new, radical forces that devalue our fishing cultures.

A 60-year-old woman was taken to the hospital after a cougar attack on a group of bicyclists in Western Washington’s upper Snoqualmie Valley today and state game wardens lethally removed at least one cougar in the area, reports say. nwsportsmanmag.com/wdfw-reports-c…
