It was Granddad up at Loon Lake in the Forties, I was his Fishing Partner. He would tie a light rope on the pole and the other end of the rope to an oar lock or the rail of old round bottom alluminum boat and then we would troll for Silvers & Rainbows for me and Mackinaw for him on Loon.

In 1948 My Mom & Dad bought a home on the Beach at Manchester, an old Oak Flat Bottom Skiff of questionable vintage came with the place and my Granddad came over from Spokane aand tought me how to fish the sound between the passage at the Naval Fuel Depot at Manchester and South Colby.

Here in Port Townsend two old Brothers by the name of Neville taught me how to Fish Disscovery Bay & Admirallty Inlet along with another local here in Port Townsend by the name of Louie Buschelio who taught me how to fish Point Wilson and the Mid Channel Bank.
