Ok. That headline is a bit of a lie. It's more like fishing for salmon in downtown Seattle. But I needed to get your attention.
Did you know that one of the coolest fisheries in the world is right down the street from you? Elliott Bay has been abused all to hell. But it still supports abundant marine life and, for the next few weeks, a fishable salmon run.
Most of the fish will be caught by the money boats during the open weekend fisheries or in the tribal nets that dot the bay. Make sure to check the regs, money boys.
But for the rest of us proles, just 1 mile from the edges of uptown Seattle at the northern tip of Myrtle Edwards Park, there is a nifty finger of access that juts out into the bay and lets regular Joes take a swing at the passing salmon.
The Elliott Bay Fishing Pier is special -- and it's in our backyard. So get your buzzbombs collected and get out there to pluck from the biomass.
** PRIZE ** $50 for best picture of an EB Fishing Pier-caught salmon ON THE PIER! Just post a comment to this item before 8/31/2005 and we'll have a little reader roundtable to determine the winner.
