Special hunt permit results available

Just in case you haven’t found out yet, the results of the 2016 hunt permit draw are available online. Well maybe. The fish and wildlife website has been down for a while and not all of the pages are available.

This is a testament to how much we use the website to find out changes in rules and regulations. My hunt group was out of luck this year.

Fishing videos

Last week we featured the Fish and Wildlife website page dedicated to teaching people how to fish. This may not have been available, due to the website problems. Keep trying, as the tips on the site are applicable to novice as well as seasoned anglers. Check these videos out at: wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/washington/videos.

Even if these videos aren’t the end-all instruction about fishing, they will be a good start.
