Weather was more reasonable to the North.
I saw little bit of slime going over Bow hill into Skagit county (only one
vehicle in the ditch), but otherwise was clear sailing.
Great breakfast at the Freeland Cafe, waiting for our wayward souls.
Leland needs to write a book . . . "fishing restruants of the Northwest"
It is amazing, this guy has the eateries scoped out!
Fished Bush for about 20 minutes. I could cast into the light N. Wind, but
it numbed the fingers instantly.
Lagoon and Casey were both blowing far to hard and cold to make fishing
practical.
Drove to the Radar Site, where I could stand below the burm, out of the
wind,and "steeple cast" up into the following wind whistling overhead.
Actually pretty nice. Saw, and heard of, no action. Locals I talked to are
asking the same questions as last year . . ."where are the fish?"

Set off to go fishing on the salt water on Whidbey Island this morning and
Leland and I got as far as Paine Field and it was snowing so hard we turned
around and got back to Seattle before 9, where it was clear and partly sunny
( Sorry Tom we couldn't get in touch with you). I called another friend
Jomo, because I knew he was headed out to the Snoqualmie and I could go with
him on his drift boat. We were meeting in Issaquah at his partner Guy�s
house and sure enough I run into the same snow storm that�s down from
Everett (I tracked it on the Doppler radar on line). This time I knew it
would blow over so after another hour we finally got on the water. We
caught no fish, saw one steelhead landed, and had hot soup on the beach for
lunch. What more could you want? A FISHSS.that�s what.
Tight lines my friends,
Charlie
