i was up on the northeast side of mt si about 2500 ft and found some blue berries, were'nt quit ripe yet but they were close. we saw one bear about 700 ft up a ridge line and he was just milling about in a clear cut. he was a good size bear maybe over 6 ft. the canyons above us still had some patchy snow in them but not much. i hopfully will make it up to about 4500 ft this weekend and i will let ya know how the snow is. 29 days. :IBCOOL:

I walked in to check my cams yesterday evening and found a few red huckles. I thought it was strange to see them this early. Most berries were small and green. We et a few. They were just ripe enough.

Blue huckles are MUCH better :)
Allso et a few hand fulls of salmon berries.

Is the taste of the bait worth the sting of the hook twice?

The reds are ripe around my house and the blackberries are starting.
