Northwest Reel Life July 2024 Volume 3 Issue 9 - Flipbook - Page 4
EDITOR’S CORNER:
This month’s issue features three beautiful destinations for anglers to check out. John Kruse takes us to
Montana’s Fort Peck for bass action, while Gary Lewis shares Southern Oregon trout fishing on the Lake
of the Woods. Then it’s back to Montana where Matt and I got to fish a true Blue-ribbon destination, the
Madison River. Three places to add to your Bucket List! On a more serious note, Josh DeBruler takes a
balanced look at the state of salmon runs in Washington.
This is also the time of year when we start seeing boating and driving accidents in the various social
media groups we frequent. Sunken tow vehicles at boat launches, trailer accidents featuring boats
ending up on top of trucks, and the tired and unimaginative inane comments display the worst in some
of us. Let’s resist the urge to add to the negativity that is part of our world and remember that behind
each of these accidents is an unfortunate person whose day went from good to bad in the blink of an eye.
Our sport can be such an uplifting activity, let’s show compassion and empathy – pause and think before
you hit that “post” button.See you on the water!
