I'm interested in hearing from readers -- whether it's a weird bird flying around their backyard to the big fish that broke them off over the weekend to skiing down a favorite run. I really want my blog to be a conversation, as it's kind of boring to just have one voice chirping away all the time. I can be reached at: callen@theolympian.com.

Two thousand and nine had its moments, but I’m happy to see this year fading into the rearview mirror.
Many of 2009’s good moments happened while I was holding a fishing rod, so why not fish even more in 2010?
That’s my plan, anyway.
OLYMPIA - Christmas music - often set to a swinging jazz beat - bounces through my head on a lot of summer fishing trips.
Puget Sound - The school of big, magenta-and-green chum salmon surged and swirled just off the shallow, pebbly beach.
I left the office last week with intentions of going to the gym - and then shopping for much-needed groceries.
TUMWATER - I've babbled about fishing in this column for years, but I've never revealed a favorite fishing spot.
My body was far away from South Puget Sound the past week, but my brain kept conjuring up memories of bad-tempered, sharp-toothed, eager-biting chum salmon.
Largemouth bass love the edges of this world – where shallow meets deep, where sunny meets shaded and where daylight meets twilight.
Little kids cry out with squeaky voices and gasp at the big fish.
HOODSPORT – Skokomish River slob anglers may force the state to shut down salmon fishing on the popular river.
