If you sling flies on a salt water beach in the state of Washington; you'd be remiss not to have the State of Washington Department of Ecology Aerial Photos website in your back pocket.
Browsing through the photos via their interactive shoreline representation will give you a bird's eye view of what the beach you're about to hit up looks like. Seeing the beach from above helps you understand the structure and layout of the land. When you can understand this; you understand where the fish are going to hold.
Keep in mind, while checking this site out, you'll want to orient yourself to which way the tide will flow at the time you'll be fishing the beach. This is important because some beaches will have great structure on an flood tide and nothing on an ebb - or vice versa.
Check it out here. |

It looks like felt will be staying shore-side soon - for permanent. I know that when I have used rubber soled wading boots I haven't always felt the safest (no pun intended). Felt just seems to grab even the slimiest rock and hold on. What do you think? Are you willing to switch to rubber for good? Have you tried any of the new rubber soled wading boots on the market now? |

An excerpt from a recent newsletter from the Gig Harbor Fly Shop:
Fly Fishing Film Tour Coming to Gig Harbor!
March 18
th @ the Gig Harbor Uptown Galaxy Theater (21 and older) we are hosting the Fly Fishing Film Tour. The film tour was in Seattle last week and they had over 250 people there and had a blast. This will be your last Northwest opportunity to see the film tour. We figured since we know how to have a good time, we'd host it in Gig Harbor! Our friends from 7 Seas Brewing, right here in Gig Harbor, will be supplying the beer. It will be a great night and we'll have some sweet deals too! Tickets available now! $12 at the Gig Harbor Fly Shop or $15 online.
This should be a blast - if I were in town I would be there.
