Fall Fjord Ron Adams, Verle's Sporting Goods & Marine The lush green flora found in abundance around the Hood Canal are giving way to a wonderful mosaic of shades of red, yellow, brown and green. An exquisite display of nature's grandeur against a backdrop of the majestic Olympic Range.
Those of us who live on or around the Hood Canal are privy to what I consider one of the most beautiful and diverse places in the world. The diversity lies in the beauty and the activities. Fall is harvest time and there is an abundance to forage while having fun and making memories. Salmon are making their epic journeys through our briny waters to the rivers they were born in to perpetuate their species. Anglers from all over make their way here every year hoping to intercept the abundant runs not only for the challenge of a battle, but also because they are delicious. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife plants an abundance of trout into lakes every year. The fishing really picks up in the lakes in the fall with fish trying to fatten up for winter eagerly accepting baits, flies, spinners, and spoons.
The cooler water in the fall also improves the culinary aspect of the fish with a higher fat content and firmer meat as compared to summer. The state also teams up with sporting goods stores for a free contest where anglers have a chance of catching tagged fish. The tags in the fish have a WDFD phone number and a code. Call and supply the code number and they tell you where to retrieve your prize. Lots of incentive and plenty of fun. Shellfishing is also fun for the whole family. Hood Canal has an abundance of oysters and several varieties of clams. State parks and public beaches provide free harvesting for license holders. Razor clamming on the coast is also extremely popular and just a short drive from the fjord.
