Let’s go fishing
Friday afternoon was beautiful, a fact not lost on these fishermen at Cranberry Lake in Deception Pass State Park.
Fishing the Skagit
Beautiful weather and the lure of salmon drew hundreds of fishermen to the Skagit River in recent days. This photograph was taken from Riverside Park in Mount Vernon. The pink salmon run is bringing an estimated six million salmon into the Puget Sound rivers, with about 1.2 million of those headed up the Skagit. Beaches […]
Relaxed Monday
The often bustling Heart Lake shoreline was quiet Monday, affording this fisherman the opportunity to spend a relaxing afternoon with few “neighbors” to distract him.
Line in the water
It’s Saturday, it’s sunny and school’s out. A great time to grab a fishing pole and head for the beach. In this case, the rocks off Fidalgo Bay at the base of Cap Sante.
Kids fishing derby
Three-year-old Rory Fischbach was one of dozens of delighted children who landed trout during the opening hours of the 2010 Kids Fishing Derby at Heart Lake. The derby, sponsored by the City Parks and Recreation Department, drew incredible volunteer support from businesses and organizations including Ace Hardware and the local chapter of the Puget Sound […]

Fishing history
Visit this interpretive display, located on 5th Street about a half-block from the Guemes Ferry terminal. This community was once renowned as the salmon canning capital of the world.
Fishing the pass
This fisherman appears to know his way around. He made a bee-line for the south end of Pass Island at Deception Pass Wednesday evening, tossing a line in at a time when tides were kind to his small boat. Wasn’t able to stay long enough to see whether the fish were striking … but this […]
New season
Sunday, Day II of the new freshwater fishing season, was a busy one, as evidenced by this scene at Heart Lake in Anacortes. Lake Erie was busy, too, as was Pass Lake. Pass is a fly-fishing lake, no boat motors.
Gone fishin’
Google “the good life” and you’ll likely find a photo like this one, taken last weekend off Cypress Island during the Anacortes Salmon Derby.
Making a living
This might look like a photo from the past, but it actually a photo I shot just a few days ago at the “T” Dock at Cap Sante Boat Haven. The monochrome treatment, plus the familiar features of the commercial fishing boat, gives the “good ol’ days” impression.
