Rivers of a Lost Coast Trailer

Rivers of a Lost Coast is a turn of the century story about a handful of pioneer fisherman that carried their fly rods north into California’s remote north coast and gave birth to a culture that would revolutionize their sport. For a few of these fisherman, like Bill Schaadt, this fishing life style became an obsession, an obsession that would not accept compromise.

Why Did the Salmon Cross the Road?

Seattle has been hit by a powerful Pacific storm, that felt somewhere between a hurricane, a tropical rainstorm and a massive snowstorm. Needless to say the driving conditions were extremely poor due with 70mph winds, heavy downpour, and some places expecting several feet of snow. But for those along the Skokomish Valley Road the driving conditions were even more dangerous. The torrential rains flooded a nearby river pushing salmon right over the banks and across the road.

Kype Magazine Volume 3, Issue 2- with collectable back cover*

Kype Magazine released their latest issue for 2011 and I’m lucky enough to have a legit print copy! This is the first year I’ve seriously targeted salmonids like steelhead and salmon. It’s a whole new way of thinking about fishing for me, and its great publications like Kype and Steelhead Salmon Trout Fishing that really help me understand some of the finer points. Not just tips and tactics on the fish I’m targeting but also about how these trout fisherman are every bit as crazy fanatical as musky hunters. I don’t want to ruin it for you, but I’ve already read this one several times and the end is the best part.

You can also find Kype Magazine Volume 3, Issue 1 on our sidebar, just above the recent comments, and you can read the back issues on Issuu.com.

Pure Alaska Salmon Review

I published this full-length review of Pure Alaska Salmon’s wild-caught canned Alaskan Salmon yesterday, but I’ve been so busy I forgot to post it to the main page. So here it is, I hope you’re hungry!

It’s been a while since we had a post as mouth-watering as this one, that’s normally Adam Guy’s arena these days. But despite the fact that I’m a good cook and a fisherman it’s not all that often that I’m eating fish at home. In fact, the last time I had a diet where I was eating fish consistently was in La Paz, where we ate Dorado, Snapper, and even Marlin and Tuna. Even then I left most of the cooking to friend and chef Micheal Leary. Still, I think I came up with a few really nice dishes made with Pure Alaska Salmon’s wild-caught canned salmon, like these fish cakes.

Salmon Fishing Video September 2011

In mid september a few friends and I headed out east in search of some salmon. We found a massive pool of coho and caught several big fish.

This was mostly filmed on a GoPro Hero HD with a chesty mount, the underwater shots are from my iPhone in a RainBallet case from The Joy Factory, the stills and a few other videos were shot on my Canon Elph 780IS.
