Welcome to the PNW Field Journal — the official blog of PNW Hunting & Fishing.
This is the place we'll be sharing:
- Trip reports from rivers, bays, and the backcountry
- Gear reviews and honest takes on what works in the PNW
- Regulation updates and plain-English breakdowns of WDFW rule changes
- Conservation news affecting Washington hunters and anglers
- Community stories — your catches, harvests, and adventures
What to Expect
The Pacific Northwest is one of the most diverse hunting and fishing landscapes in North America. From razor clam digs on the coast to elk in the Blues, steelhead on the Olympic Peninsula to walleye on Lake Roosevelt — there's always something in season and always a story worth telling.
We'll keep posts practical, honest, and rooted in real experience. No sponsored fluff.
Get Involved
Got a trip report, photo, or story to share? Reach out through our Facebook page — we'd love to feature community members.
And keep an eye on the Emergency Rules section on the homepage. It auto-updates from the WDFW feed so you always know what's changed before you head out.
Good luck out there. Stay safe, follow the regs, and leave it better than you found it.
