Spring?

If you are ready for spring, Go to Northwest notes She has wandered into one of my favorite sites. The Sauk River is a tributary of the Skagit River, Which runs from British Columbia down through the North Cascades into Puget Sound right at Whidbey Island!! THe Sauk is relatively un-settled, or was the last time I was up there. It is natural and wild and gorgeous! And smack FULL of wild Steelhead!!! Great Fishing!!! You have not fished until you have had a wild steelhead hit your line, and then fought that sucker all the way into the net. They are big, about 5-10 lbs and OH MY GAWD they are good to eat!! THey basically are Sea-run trout but taste like Salmon!!

I got carried away, Sorry Fran!! Her blog is really a good indicater of the weather and the seasons and the country side around here. The Chilly Hilly that she refers to is a sponsored bike ride on Bainbridge Island that idiots ride in every year. It is usually COLD, WET and VERY HILLY!! THese guys get on the ferry and collapse!!! I guess it is sposed to be fun?

Check her out!
