Wayne Kruse

My name is Wayne Kruse and as the dean of Northwest outdoor writers (over 30 years in fishing/hunting journalism) it's my pleasure to help you enjoy the traditional outdoor activities that make up such an important part of the lifestyle in this beautiful corner of the country.


Born and raised in Puget Sound country, and an avid fisher/hunter/mushroomer/clam digger/you name it, I've done it all and try to bring you the latest, most current information on who's doing what, where, in the tall and uncut around here, and how best to go about it.

It's nice to meet you, and I hope to see you on the river one of these days.

Columbia Basin brimming with steelhead

Salmon habitat program compromising bird hunting program

It’s huntin’ time in the great Northwest, but if you happen to be an aficionado of the state Fish and Wildlife Department’s Western Washington pheasant release program, you’re looking at a bird of a different feather this... [More]





Coho proving to be strong biters

It’s fortunate that you’re through cutting the grass for the year, because a couple of outstanding fishing opportunities are begging your weekend attention — good stuff that doesn’t come marching down the pike every year. [More]





Humpies make landing a coho difficult

The big Everett Coho Derby is this weekend and it's open to silvers taken in certain marine areas and all or parts of the local river systems, but those fishermen who choose the freshwater venue in which to utilize their derby ticket might be up... [More]





Coho arrive just in time for Edmonds derby

Yeah, I know it’s difficult to stop thinking pink, with all those humpies still out there begging to be invited home for dinner. But many local salmon fishermen probably are ready for a change of pace, and coming up just at the right time is... [More]
