i want to say this is somewhere in Eatonville or around there, there are a few waterfalls. there was some nice grouse cover nearby, lots of land and it was hunt able fri-sun. it was a cool hike.

this is somewhere on 112 going out to near bay. we had to drive all the way out there so i could shoot some fish. most of washington is closed for bottom fish except way out there. there is so much more life on the jetties here compared to CT. anemones, urchins, nudibranchs (the coolest animals ever) and lots of fish. my first dive i was greated by a 30"+ ling but of course the season is closed.

Chris,
I lived in Seattle for 18 months back in the 70's. I don't know if it's still true but the Skagit River was a must for trout and steelhead.

At some point, the rest of us back east are going to cry "uncle" with all your beautiful pics.

Enjoy and be safe in the water.

It took me thirty years to get a handful of Chanterelle sp. spots that produce consistently. The one thing that really surprised me was how different morels from the Pacific Northwest taste, compared to the ones I pick around here. When you pick in the spring, keep your batches separate and dry them. Then do comparison taste test(s) among them. Not quite as "earthy", with that same nutty finish, but milder.
