I am looking for a steelhead buddy, I am moving to Bellingham in June, looking to hit the rivers. I have been spoiled here in Alaska, I guess It will be fishing, not catching. I know what im doing, so you wont have to explain how to fish for hours, Just looking for new friends, who want to get after it, split gas.
dang why did you move down here, fishing sucks here :chuckle:

its not so much the lack of fish, its the crowds :bash:. plenty of hunting on the westside too. id think you havnt taken washingtons hunting class yet but you can still hunt this year you just gotta get some type of "permit" that lets allows you to hunt for a year. im not to familiar with it but there should be some guys on here that can give you more details on ityou can either take hunter safety or else get a once in a life time one year exemption. My buddy did it last year but you have to have someone with a hunting licence like sponsor you or something like that.

Mine was from New York in 1982 and it has worked for all states
My wife got hers in Alaska 2001 and hers has worked here with no problems.
Only thing I can tell you though John, if you buy a resident license for Alaska then you get stationed here in Washington, you cannot buy a resident license here in Washington unless you go to Alaska and turn yours back in.
I know I have been down this road plenty of times. Some people will tell you other wise but totally illegal to have a resident license from two different states at the same time.
I don't fish steelies that much anymore but I fish a lot of Bass, I am down here right by Fort Lewis so if you want to take a day and go out for some of those let me know. I know how it sucks to get everything dialed in to what you are doing and then the Army moves you away.

First off welcome, especially from a fellow Alaskan Ex resident :'(, but what BLKBEARKLR states is 100% correct. My old bud is in charge of the Brown shirts and they look into this hard core every season, pretty easy to do..... As for Steelheads your out of luck with me, my "guide" hasn't shown me his trick and secrets yet, but if your into or want to give Sturgeon a try give me a shout, I down at McChord at least five days a week...
