The Seattle Boat Show is the largest show of its kind on the West Coast. This view show just a small portion of the over 1,000 boats that are on display at Century Link Field. Boats aren't the only thing to see. Every kind of item that can be used on a boat is there, too. Even marinas and travel destinations are represented.

I recently traveled to Olympia and met with Representatives Brad Hawkins (middle) and Cary Condotta. I provided them with current information about the Columbia River Salmon and Steelhead Endorsement program. Senator Parlette was in committee at the time, but was the sponsor of the bill that made it all possible.

It was fun to see my friends Doug and Lynn Malsam from Tiffany's Resort on Curlew Lake at the show. My wife and I love to fish Curlew and stay here. Doug reminded me that September can be the best time to fish for tiger muskie on Curlew. I am going to be there this fall!
