Grew up on the Nooksack. Spent one week every summer on the west beach Guemes fishing for kings. Fished Opening day trout with my grandpa every year at Pass lake we put his boat in at his buddys place on the N end, and a lot of time with my other grandfather fishing high mountain lakes of N Idaho and the Moyie R. Took trips every yr. with dad to Dry falls, Rocky Ford, Lenore, and Chopaka Lk. Now I live on the Kenai but I still miss Washington fishing especialy the steelhead.
