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.

Outdoor Outlook: Duck and deer prospects a mixed bag

So you’re hunkered down in the marsh grass, early on a cold, foggy morning, hidden behind a couple of old piling somewhere on Skagit Bay. Your yellow Lab, Babe, sits at your side, looking fine in her new camo vest, shivering with... [More]





Columbia Basin brimming with steelhead

If you're a steelhead fisherman and you don't grab your rod, toss your waders in the rig and head across the Cascades for at least one fishing trip this month, you will be doomed to forever curse your lack of foresight. This “Summer of the... [More]





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]
