Yesterday was the last day of fishing in many rivers here in western Washington. I asked my boss for a half day and he assented. To my surprise it started snowing mid morning. There is up to a foot of snow in parts of Snohomish County. The river had a beautiful layer of white. This is where we park.



I didn't have any luck until later in the day. I fished my normal spots and nothing, so I went down to the now empty area which most of the guys usually work. I changed depth and the jig and the float went under, fish on. This thing was a cow, huge. What a nice end to the season. It was a 32 inch female. I'm told it is kinda rare to get a hatchery fish this late in the season.



I'm home from work today because Mukilteo was hit hard by this storm. And there is no fishing. It is time to look into my next steps. I dropped off this year's application to the BCC radiation therapy program a few days ago. And I'm still without my own place. Gotta work on that.
