Thanks to everybody involved with the clinic. I had a Great evening. You did a great job with the presentation Jeff. Next Adventure went above and beyond with their hospitality. It was a pleasure meeting you all. I appreciate all the help you have provided with a "newbie" like me. Thanks again,Eric.

Thanks to Jeff for sharing and thanks to Next Adventure for pizza and PBR!  Bought my Outback a few months ago with trout/kokanee /camping in mind- had no idea all this ocean and big fish stuff was going on.Pretty exciting stuff! Plan on slowly gearing up and getting out there (maybe after a summers worth of dunking practice).Thanks to all for gear and fishing tips- very cool website ! Live in vancouver-dont see awhole lot of area reports? Caught 14 kokanee @ yale saturday.

Good to see more people joining up.  By the way, where is Yale? I have always wanted to try Kokanee fishing from the kayak.  Is it far from the metro area?

Good job Jeff.  I really wanted to go, and not just because I figured there would be pizza and beer.  I am always looking for more info.  In fact I had my wife convinced it was a continuing education course I needed to take (until she finally asked what the topic was.  I am a real bad liar). Unfortunately, I had to get a bunch of work done to be free and clear for the ORC this weekend.

dberd and sandsquirt, nice to see you on the forums!  Welcome!  Don't be strangers!

dberd: I'd like to see some of your reports from the Vancouver area.  There are plenty of places around there I'd like to get acquainted with.

Craig, Yale is the second of three reservoirs on the lewis river.Going east out of Woodland,WA-approx about 15 miles. First, Merwin-also good kokanee (and tiger musky), then Yale-(smaller kokes but higher limit),then Swift-biggest resorvoir -best for trout. Kokanee are not deep right now -all fish caught on w/o weight.Small but tasty!

There will be plenty to go around. If you get bored Saturday afternoon take a drive down and hang out for the Fish Taco Extravaganza. It is always great  to see a new face and talk fishing.... especially when good food and beer is involved!

Thank for putting it on Rawkfish! Learned a lot. Still trying to decide on what kayak to get, but your is still on the short list if you haven't sold it yet!
