Winter blues

[HHPro]

My goal this winter is to get my garage organized and turned into a home gym/hunting and fishing cave. I’ve started on it but haven’t gotten too far yet.
Also I’d like to spend some more time figuring out some winter fishing that doesn’t include steelhead. I used to tie some flies but quit it because it didn’t have enough time for the hobbies I had, nevermind adding more…so I trimmed down on the list of hobbies I was half participating in in hopes of increasing time for other stuff.

Is there any good white fishing around over there?

I think I’d have to go east, which I’m not opposed to. It’s more a matter of figuring out time and where to go.

It used to be a bigger deal on the yakima river around cle elum,the old timers are dwindling but a few holes are still producing good numbers.They make some of the best smoked fish I've ever eaten.

Thanks for the tips. I’ve always meant to try it out. The problem with it for me is there are trout there to be caught so i’d probably end up focusing on them.

Apparently, according to the scale this morning I eat more 

This winter has been pretty gloomy in the basin. More so then usual it seems.

Finding these cleaning up these is an idea

If I was smart I’d tie some flies….

Load, shoot, rinse and repeat.

Been killing some whitefish the last few weekends as well.

Never targeted them, but have caught most of mine on wooly buggers.

[boneaddict]

I probably have some antique ones in my fly box, it’s been that long.

PRS and steelhead fishing.

I’m never not busy. It would be a nice luxury however, shorter amounts of daylight reduce my outdoor activities so it’s prep for outdoor activities time which includes making most of my ammo for the year.

Hot rods, drag cars, and sport quads here.  There's always something to work on.

Clean the boat up from 8 months of abuse & make upgrades as needed. Get a head start on steelhead leaders for February/March, do the wife's list of chit I've put off, etc.

[MeepDog]

Hunting ducks of course! I can barely find time to do any chores because the dog wants me to shoot birds over him. It's a lot of work in itself packing in decoys and what not but it's worth it seeing him work or when you get that one fat bird in 10 that's delicious.

Otherwise think of what you've been putting off, the monster in the closet project and start that.

What exactly do these elusive whitefish flies look like exactly? I'll tie some up but I can't find an accurate pattern to copy.
