Fishing Cranberry
Some fish from the shore, others from boats … or kayaks. Cranberry Lake at Deception Pass State Park.
New dock at Cranberry Lake
Among Centennial projects at Deception Pass State Park was this new dock on Cranberry Lake. Already a very popular feature among local fishermen.
Buoy perch
I can’t recall details, but I believe this image’s origins are an early morning departure for a day of fishing with my brother-in-law. Cormorants stationed on a lighted buoy.
Fishing Pass Lake: 2013
My notes show that this trip went well for this Pass Lake fisherman, whose stand-up technique brought in at least one catch.
Cast away!
Two young fishermen invest time in a “sport” that dates back thousands of years, casting their lines with eager anticipation. Cranberry Lake, Deception Pass State Park on a sunny Fall weekend.
Folks celebrate clean air
What a wonderful Saturday morning, our air fresh again after a week of smoke from regional wildfires. Frustrated folks like me ventured out to hike, kayak, climb, swim, boat and fish. I saw families, couples and fishermen. I saw excited children grab their floaties in anticipation of lake swimming. I watched at least one child […]
Fishing a new spot
Every fisherman moves to a new spot when the action is slow. This blue heron works the rocks on low tide at Rosario Beach, “flying” a few feet from time to time across the water. Fishing was good that morning!

Cranberry Lake & environs
Typically Cranberry Lake at Deception Pass Park is crazy busy at this time of year. Given COVID-19 restrictions, however, most activity has taken place on weekends. Regardless, an early morning visit to this beautiful corner of our awesome neighborhood park yields greater opportunity for a peaceful walk. There is much to enjoy.
Beach, boat & bluff fishing
Fishermen are out. On a visit to Deception Pass Park I viewed folks fishing from North Beach, boat just offshore, and bluff from the base of Pass Island. Traveling in and out of the park I saw many folks fishing lakes including Cranberry, Heart, Campbell and Pass.
Fishing from North Beach
This Seattle man celebrated the re-opening of state parks and public fishing Tuesday morning by visiting North Beach at Deception Pass State Park. A fish would just be icing on the cake. It was a beautiful day, and exciting to have COVID-19 restrictions lifted to some degree. Bring on “Phase Two!”
Fishing boats tie up in Anacortes
Tied up this week at the Trident Seafoods dock on the Guemes Channel were the Northwestern, the Viking and the Oregon. Northwestern is an Alaskan crab, Pacific cod, and salmon tendering fishing vessel featured in the Discovery Channel series Deadliest Catch.
