Perusing our various forum topics, the reader quickly becomes aware of countless, talented individuals, who are from every walk of life, and regularly contribute to NWKA. So Mark, with this wealth of information, and now that you've got this idea brewing, what about a poll/on-going thread, showing specific areas of interest the kayaking community would like to read about?

Personally, I would read an article on trout fishing with interest. That said, an article on Things to do in your tandem when the bite is slow, where anglers switch seats and corn row each others hair....probably not.

I can't get enough information on the how/what/where/when articles for trout, bluegill, largemouth/smallmouth bass or crappie, but can do without another salmon/steelhead article. How about chasing those "smaller" fresh water species from our kayaks with an ultra-light rod...or a 3 weight fly fishing rod? Definitely much different tactics employed since they prefer the depths, but what about Kokanee? 

Good luck with this, Mark. Like many, I have enjoyed your Northwest Sportsman column for years. I'm looking forward to seeing this new approach and thank you in advance to you, and the many contributors.

Mark - you written any articles on freediving the Oregon Coast?

You should know my friend.  Not only did I interview you, I quoted you multiple times in the NWS article I wrote last summer.   

That said, I'm open to an article written from the perspective of one of those crazy SOB's....

This is the only article I could find on the topic: http://nwsportsmanmag.com/tag/freediving/
When I searched the NWS mag's website, Andy's articles are the only ones that popped up. What's up with that?

Hey Paul,

The NWS mag website doesn't contain the same content as the print version.  Occasionally, they'll add an article as a tease but for the most part you only get blog entries from Andy (the editor).

I could help on an article about fishing the Williamson River, Klamath Lake or Chasing lakers at Crescent
