Know how I know you're from the west coast.

And rockfish aren't fresh water fish. Hybrids are though.

Stripers and salmon are anadromous fish... This means they spend their lives both in salt and fresh water so suck my ass! Home schooler...

Yes I knew that. But I've never caught one in fresh water and I don't want to. Saltwater fish are more fun to fight IMHO.

How can you have an opinion if you have never done it. Ive done both and can tell you there is no difference with stripers but salmon do fight better in the ocean then they do in the river.

Thought we were talking about freshwater fish in general not fighting as well.

I see the fish in the first pic, but can't see one in the second. What are we taking about?

Currently it's duck hunting. When the season's over at the end of this month, it will be back to steelheading. I've been fly fishing for over 30 years, the last 15 focused mainly on steelhead with some trout and salmon mixed in. Two-handed casting kind of took over the last 6-7 years. I also tie a lot of flies.

For about 10 years I was mostly consumed with surfing, which is why I didn't hunt for a long time and fishing was relegated to shitty surf days. I'd like to surf more than I do now, but it's one of those things you don't do with any level of real success unless you consistently do it a lot, like multiple times a week. Living 1.5 hours from the beach makes that tough. A move to the coast has been mulling in my head for years.

I love clams. One of my favorite foods. Do you have to have any special licenses down there? How many per person and what kind of clam? I used to go to Maine with my high school ex's parents and get coolers full of clams and lobster, then head back after we got our fill. Wish I still had those opportunities.

Honestly, I prefer them debearded, but to each their own. You can go over the limit, but you WILL pay the price.

No, no license required. (I think that must be under the radar for the state or something, since they rarely miss an opportunity to charge you for something.) They are mostly cherrystones and middle/topnecks. I'm not certain what the limit is, either- I suppose I should find that out. We usually come back with about a bushel or so, or however many we have when we run out of "refreshments" which are carried around in the floating bar that my hybrid becomes when we go clamming. They did raise the size limit form 3/4" thick at the hinge to 1" last year.
