My offer still stands from another thread that was like this one.
If you are in the military and are going to have some time off in the state, bring some waders and a rain jacket. I have extra poles and tackle if needed. If you want to fly fish for Steelhead or Salmon (if they are running), I have single-handed 9' and two-handed 13.5' rods along with hundreds of flies. If you gear fish, I have bait-casting and spin-casting rigs with hundreds of jigs, pre-tied leaders, spinners, spoons and pretty much anything sold in tackle shops.
Let me know a few weeks in advance, if you can, so I can arrange for a babysitter for my son. And if you have little ones at home with your spouse, we can always let the kids play there while we fish and I won't need as much time to setup babysitting.
It doesn't matter where we go as long as it isn't TOO far from where I am living. I will be in King County for a little while, so pretty much anywhere from down south to the Cowlitz up north to the Skagit will be close enough. I will be back on the Peninsula in the spring and anything from Forks to Hood Canal will be close enough. If there is a specific river you would like to fish in those areas we can fish there, but we'll have the best chance of catching something by going to one of the rivers in the north sound I have "dialed in" over the years.
Just send me a PM and we'll setup a time to go!
This is from the last "support our troops" outing. I can't think of a better way to take a break from Iraq. This is how it went:
