Book Signing in Gig Harbor this Sunday

I'm going to be at the Gig Harbor Fly Shop this Sunday to sign my book, tie flies and jabber about fly fishing for sea-run cutthroat trout.

This luau begins at 3 pm, and I'll stick around as long as they'll have me. I love talking about fishing, and I always learn a lot whenever I meet other nutso anglers, so I'm looking forward to the day.

If you have already bought a copy of my book, feel free to drop by, and I'll happily scrawl away in your copy. The nice people at the shop tell me they have plenty of copies of Fly Fishing for Sea-Run Cutthroat, but I'll bring a few extras -- just in case.

Gig Harbor Fly Shop is located at 3115 Harborview Drive, Gig Harbor, WA, 98335. Gig Harbor is a beautiful town, and there are plenty of sea-run cutthroat beaches nearby.... Hope to see you there!

If you have any questions, fire me an email at [email protected]

Westport Surfing Report
Westport is probably Washington state's best -- and most popular -- surf spot. Three breaks attract surfers from all over the Northwest and British Columbia. This is the best site to get a real-time handle on swell size, wind and weather. The site tracks a wide variety of swell buoy data and weather forecasts. And, if all else fails, the three webcams show what the waves look like at that very moment.
Swellinfo.com - Surf Forecasts - Surf Reports
A good site with fairly reliable surf forecasts for West Coast surf breaks. Swellinfo usually makes the right call for Westport and LaPush in Washington and Oswald West, Seaside and other Oregon breaks. All that said, nothing replaces actually being at the beach for the most accurate report.

Gorge Performance is also a top-notch surf, snowboard, kiteboard and windsurf shop. There is a wide variety of good new and used equipment, the folks are friendly and offer good advice and a surfboard repair person is on staff. If you're really lucky, they'll have some doughnuts from Voodoo Doughnuts in downtown Portland.

Big Al is always ready to share a story, some advice on surfing Westport or a smile. You know you're living life right when you hear Big Al say "Right on!"
Robert August Surfboards
I've been surfing Robert August boards since I was a kid growing up in Southern California during the 1970s. Most of my boards are still Robert August boards. I especially love the 9-foot-long "What I Ride" model and the 10-foot "Predator." Yeah, I'm 47, and I ride longboards....

Northwest skiing and snowboarding

Why not ski or board through dry powder on a blown-up volcano?

Home ski area for Hood River, Oregon -- and less than two hours from Portland.

Steep and deep -- and a short drive from South Puget Sound, Portland, Yakima and southwest Washington.

Night skiing and boarding less than a hour's drive from Seattle and Tacoma -- and cheap season passes!
Crystal Mountain ski area
Steep -- sometimes scary -- terrain, tons of snow, and a long season. Crystal is less than 100 miles from Pugetropolis, but it seems like 3,000 miles away.
