Rockin' "Superstar Saturday" with Rinella, Cogdell
Saturday 10-29-2011 9:40am PT
It's a darn good thing the Comcast Cameras weren't focused on me for the last 15 minutes of the show this Saturday - they would have seen me laughing uncontrollably as Steve Rinella described how to hunt pigeons with a pizza box, a stick and a landing net.
It was the end of the kickass show that started with Corey Cogdell, our resident shotgun expert. From Olympic medalist to bestselling author/TV star.
Just another Saturday in the NWWC. Check out the podcasts!

As mentioned on the show Saturday, I have a cool new stopover in my daily tour de internet. Well, check that: Flygal.ca isn't technically a new URL. I surf it regularly. The site itself, though, has gotten a purty new facelift that instantly raises the bar for Pacific Northwest fishing websites.
I present to you April Vokey and the newest version of the Flygal Ventures website. Go ahead, log on. I dare you. Just give yourself some time, because I promise you, you'll spend more then a little time touring the new online crib of one of my favorite
local angler/personalities.
Videos. A slick new blog. EXCEPTIONAL photos. Etc., Etc., Etc., yadda, yadda, yadda.
Go. Peek. Now: www.flygal.ca.

The noose loosens on the Humptulips River
Friday 10-22-2010 3:25pm PT
 Faithful listeners are well aware of the thumpin' Team Wild Country put on the fall Chinook and coho on the Humptulips River early this month. Fortunately for us, we fished the Hump on two of the rare days when the river (and North Bay in Grays Harbor) wasn't choked with nets. If you've been on the Humptulips since then, you haven't encountered many fresh fish. Having nets in 12 out of 16 days will do that to ya, right? Tie noose is finally loosened: nets come out of both Grays Harbor and the Hump this afteroon, and they'll be out until Nov. 7. Good tides Oct. 22-27, some rain to freshen the system up, and there'll be some more Hump thumpin' in the weeks to come. MORE ON THIS SATURDAY on NW Wild Country!-JS Video from October 9th

The NWWC Bait Lab opens: Shrimp Science 101
Sunday 06-06-2010 12:23pm PT
I always wonder what goes through the minds of the Dawgman.com guys and Jeff "The Fish" Aarons when they walk into the Sportsradio 950 KJR studios on Saturday, after we've gone off the air.
We have a habit of leaving stuff behind, much to the chagrin of our KJR sports-talk counterparts. Yesterday, we left behind the whiff of tiger prawns, cocktail shrimp and cured sand shrimp.
Sorry, fellas, but the NW Wild Country Bait Lab is open for business. Bring your gas masks next week.
CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THE PODCASTS as the NWWC crew launches the Bait Lab with a two-hour seminar on shrimp.

 More Sekiu hootenanny shindig yankitude?
As heartwarming as the Back-To-The-Future steelheading has been this winter, I'm still just as jacked to get back to the first-class opportunities for feeder Chinook in the Strait of Juan de Fuca out of Sekiu.
Last year’s non-existent ironhead runs pushed me into the arms of another woman, so to speak. I took Edgar to Sekiu to see if the days-of-yore blackmouth fishing was as good as yesteryear, just because there was nothing else to do. Turns out it was the best I’ve seen since the mid-80s, the heyday of Puget sound blackmouth fishing. Most ran 8 to 14 pounds, with a few larger ones hooked just often enough to double-check knots.
Will this year still feature hootenanny shindig yankitude?

NWWC Zog Blog - Hoh River Spey Daze

NWWC WildBLOG - Herzog's Hoh River Spey Daze
FORKS - With blanket closures of Puget Sound streams, the long-rodders of Puget Sound are forced to leave behind the perfect swing bars of the Sauk, Skagit and Skykomish. Tough to find spey-friendly water after you cut that list of all-star rivers out.
Consequently, the Hoh had become, by proxy, the darling of the winter fly-rodder. For good reason: The classic long-scalloped bars, the wide runs that marry the aggressive native steelhead with the standard wet fly swing. At least we have the few rivers on the OP left. Like the Skagit of 15 years ago, the Hoh is now the destination of all fur and feather clan from southern BC, Washington, Idaho, Oregon and even northern California.
But know this: we are loving this place to death.

The payoff: swag from the famed NWWC Prize Cave!
