Washington, or NW meet(s) discussion
- Thread starter WyldFya
- Start date
I went to Oregon on vacation to my parents, and hit The Wet Spot in Portland on the way back home. It was totally cool. Too bad it was getting late, didn't want to be driving too late at night. So I only spent a short time there. It's the type of place I could spend a whole day, lol. I really enjoyed it, and will definitely make time to go back and spend more time, and maybe even some money, lol.
OKay, we're all so secretive about our exact locations (for good reasons) but how many Eastern WA people do we have- Like a meet near the Columbia River. Maybe for a fishing trip. But, it's already snowed 500 ft above my house so unless we want to ice fish, Eastern WA would be a blast in about May or June.
There's a large salmon Hatchery in Leavenworth, worth touring, now is when they're coming up river to spawn. I was in Westport (on the far West Coast of WA) and the boat basin is filling up with salmon, they should be running up the rivers now, so any Salmon fisherpeople, the time is NOW!!! Remember, Native Kings are protected and strictly enforced, the Chehalis River is great for Salmon and at night Sturgeon (Know your laws on size there) The Humptulips river is also awesome, but all I've ever caught is Native Kings, I prefer catch and release anyway. OK, maybe a nice salmon BBQ is fun tooooooo, oh yummy.
Crab season is over, bad year, opens again in January after all the bickering (polictics) Tuna fishing is in season but it's an overnight trip with lots of barfing if you aren't used to the boats.
I know of a camp in Westport we could use next time it warms up, ideas, ideas, just something to chew on.
Bass lovers?? The Columbia (Largemouth) and Lake Chelan (3rd deepest Lake in the lower 48) OHHHH What a party that place is!!!!
Wolfman, quit bragging about the Wet Spot or I'm gonna kidnap your beloved fire eel and hold him hostage!!!!
I have two itty baby Dojo Loaches waiting for me at my LFS. It's sad, Mei has been reduced to that instead of Aro's, but as soon as I move, Watch out here I come!!!! BIG Custom tank in the plans...........
Peace out-Mei

I'm in Aberdeen. Westport would be ok to go to, My Grandma lives there. We could buy fresh crab, or anyother fresh seafood right at the docks and have a big BBQ if it ever warms up.
I'd like another LFS meet though, maybe later this year we can do an LFS meet, but a BBQ or whatever would be cool.

well maybe if more than four of us went to the first meet(haha i went) it would happen.
I live in everett but i go to eastern wa quite a bit, especially wenatchee. I was on the columbia about a month ago but got skunked, would be all for another fishin' trip.
I've been out steelheading lately. Early, I know. Just wanted to get on the water. I'm in Enumclaw. And was at the first meet. Woot woot.
If anyone on the west side wants Paratheraps synspilum (in the 5-9" range) or Herichthys pearsi (several at about 10" or so) PM me. I met a guy recently whos been breeding these guys for years and used to supply Renton Fish Gallery with them years ago. He has a lot (30 or so synspilum) he needs to get rid of. Free if you have a big tank.
I just picked up three syns. No room for the pearsi. He's got a 400 gallon, 210 gallon (with huge fronts), 10 or so 180's, and multiple other tanks. Very nice guy.
