I am auctioning off a fishing trip - 100% of proceeds go to Oso victims. Pass this along if you know anybody interested.

 100% of proceeds will be donated to Oso Slide victims. 

As a life long resident of Arlington and living a few minutes from the slide and victims I just felt like I had to do something. Also as a fly fishing guide the Stillaguamish river is my home water that I have fished and guided on for years. This local community means a lot to me and I personally know some of the victims and the stories are heartbreaking. I figure this way we both give something and then get to go fishing. All skill levels welcome.

A usual guide trip for 1 or 2 people is $400. For any amount over $400 you can bring a 3rd angler if you choose. We will coordinate the fishing trip with what interests you and what may be the best fishing experience for you. You have a year from the ending date of the auction to do the trip (can be flexible there). We fish year round on many of Washington's top rivers and lakes for Steelhead, salmon and trout.

You can gift this to somebody too.
Lots of info on the trips can be found at our website - flyfishsteelhead.com  You can contact me directly for any questions - Mike Dickson


I tried to pick responsible ways to donate the $. I will donate to 4 fund sites for the following people -  Julie and Cory Kuntz,  Seth Jefferds,  Brian & Ava Lester,  Mark Lambert
The web sites are gofundme and giveforward.

Other business looking forward -

Dirty water steelhead

April 11-12th max needs a partner fishing steelhead on the Peninsula. Let me know if interested.  

 I still have a few open dates and typically late march-april the rivers and rain mellow out a bit.

I fished 3 different rivers over the last week. We had a really high water 12 days or so ago and it really moved some of the rivers around. I have seen the Upper Quinault running quite high but still have great visibility but with that last high water now all the rivers are dirtier than normal and take a little longer to clear up.

The Queets is fishing great but just needs the right levels and vis. At hartsels there is a tree over the boat ramp, I was able to get my raft under it but barely, don’t think a drift boat could do it and the park service my not fix it. There is the attitude to leave things natural.  There is a big ass tree across the river on the lower float now too. You can drag your boat around it on the right side, don’t go to the left. The river changed more in the last 2 weeks than I have seen in the last 2 years.

We fished the Clearwater river on Wednesday and couln’t have hit the conditions better. Perfect shape and nice color and my client Tim was the hot rod that day with 3 landed fish.
