I started out trout fishing with my dad at lake Wenas over near Yakima, made many trips over there as a kid. Next was lake Wa. sockeye back when it was open every year and they only bit U-20 Flatfish. Got my first king at 7 yrs. old at Pt. Defiance and first steelhead at 14 on the Green. Grew up just above Redondo and spent alot of summer days fishing the pier, even spent some time on the old pier with the old rundown boathouse and sling launch, damn, I'm getting old. Caught a few salmon off those piers.
