Hello All,
I moved to Vancouver, WA from Arizona a little over a year ago. I recently purchased a Pedal drive kayak, the Feelfree Lure 11.5 with the "Overdrive" (Poor man's Hobie). I have taken it out a few times on small local lakes to fish for trout and am waiting on my Kokatat Drysuit to come in the mail before venturing out to bigger water. I did a fair amount of Bass and Trout fishing in AZ. Just getting into salmon and steelhead fishing last year. So much to learn! 
Had a few successful salmon trips with a guide last year and have mostly been fishing from the bank with some success when I can get out. I have been stocking up on tackle and watching youtube videos to learn how to properly troll for Salmon or Kokanee in bigger waters. Excited to get out on the water and target salmon this spring and fall season. I was hoping to try my luck for Springers on the Willamette or the Multnomah channel. Also hoping to try fishing the tributaries this year as much as possible. I am still learning the area and looking forward to meeting new folks. I bought an Oregon and Washington license this year, so I am down to fish on either side of the Colombia!

Welcome to the NWKA forum.  Great people here willing to share their wisdom.  Quite a change moving from Arizona to the Pacific Northwest.
