Nikon offers a variety of rangefinders for hunters. The Laser 440 rangefinder, available in either Realtree camo or ProStaff green, is Nikon's entry level model and has a maximum ranging ability of up to 437 yards on a reflective target. The more expensive models in the Nikon lineup, such as the Laser 600, 800, or 1200 offer more features, but the biggest difference is their ability to range longer distances.

Winter-run steelhead are trickling into many rivers, but it's early yet and nobody's crowing about the action. River fishing for chum and late coho is fading, and never was spectacular anyway. Chinook catches on the marine waters have taken a bit of a dive over the past week, and some key northern areas close at the end of the day Friday. Probably the best bet lately has been chinook fishing on the saltchuck, and the best of that has been in central and south Puget Sound.

I have been hunting big game, mostly deer, for over forty years and I am still surprised by the lack of preparation most hunters take before the season starts. Most of my buddies simply throw some gear in the back of a truck on opening day and head for the woods. By the way, most of my friends are not very successful hunters...

You don't need to be putting your outdoor gear away just because it is fall. There are many benefits to camping when the leaves change color, the crowds leave the park and the temperature starts to drop. Most insects have died off or have reduced their activity. Less people mean that perfect campsite is going to be easier to find. Crisp air, crystal clear skies and changing plant life offer new experiences and sights at your favorite park.

There is definitely a misconception that saltwater flyfishing for Coho, or any salmon for that matter, is non existent! Well much like the moment you buy a computer it becomes obsolete, the idea that flyfishing in the open ocean is not as exciting or productive as freshwater fishing for salmon or trout, is also a thing of the past.

Which type of salmon fishing line you use on your fishing trip will often mean the difference between a successful day and one filled with a lot of snags, rats-nests and frustration. The right salmon fishing line will often be determined by the type of salmon you are going to be targetting during the day; there are specialty lines designed specifically for certain types of fishing conditions, and even standard lines will have varying results depending on the water you are fishing in.

Time to plan a trip to a camping hot spot.

Summer and the family camping season are drawing to a close. For those of you who are not blessed with children, it's a good time to start planning a fall camping trip to one of those previously over-crowded, summer destination hot spots. After Labor Day, the visitor traffic to the State Parks, National Parks, and National Forests slows down considerably, due primarily to the fact that kids are back in school.

Catching any species of salmon on a fly means that you are in for a hell of a fight, so it is important that you use the right fly fishing reels for freshwater salmon fishing. Fly fishing reels for the most part have the same basic design, and the difference that will mean a great story with a picture or a steelhead to back you up and a great story about one that got away will often lie in the makeup of the reel itself. Here are some of the components you will want to look at in order to land those spawners when they are on their way upstream; always keep in mind that although the techniques and casting may be the same for salmon and trout, the salmon are the fish that are going to give a bigger fight in the landing.
