fuck ya, fishing is the best,nothing like burning a bowl waiting for the sturgen to hit the bait.Lived in seattle and there is no end to the fishing,always something else biting somewhere. if you like bass you should hit the snake in early june,smallies will slam the hardware. up above Coeur d'Alene there is some pretty good fishing if you want to keep moving up the chain lakes,largemouths, the snake also has some catts in there to if you really are a frenchman!
