I don't Bass fish very often. Once or twice a year for a change of pace. There are quite a few lakes along the coast highway we'll fish when we're camping down there. There has been a controversy in some of the state as some people thought a few of our trophy Trout fisheries should have Bass and Crappie. I don't have as much of a problem with it as some people, but I don't fish those impoundments much anyway. My boy and I have mainly targeted Salmon, Steelhead, and Trout for the last few years. He brought well over 100 Steelhead to the bank last year, and will likely catch between 200 and 300 this year. He fishes 4 or 5 times a week after classes and on weekends. Unfortunately I work and get out on weekends only most of the time. I am going this afternoon for a couple hours though. One of the nice things living where I do, I can get to fishable water in 10 minutes, prime Steelhead water within 30. Within an hour, I can get to probably 50 different rivers that have Steelhead and Salmon. I'm an hour from the ocean, and an hour from the snow in the mountains.
