The Northwest has been suffering through a heat wave and that's why we are talking to Anna Roth with the Washington Trails Association about some mountain lakes you can hike to in the Cascade Mountains to beat the heat!  If you are backpacking you'll want to take the brand new Stryker Stove from Camp Chef with you.  Ryan Neeley with Camp Chef will tell you about this innovative, lightweight stove and about the propane fire rings Camp Chef has to help you cope with campfire restrictions popping up all over the Western U.S..
The hot weather is affecting the fish too.  "Hoot Owl" angling restrictions are now in place for several Montana Streams and Mike Marcum with The Stonefly Fly Shop in Butte will explain why these rules are important for trout conservation and also give you some suggestions on some new places to go fishing.  Speaking of fun on the water, Lance Merz has a great lure to tell you sockeye salmon anglers about from Mack's Lure Company, we've got a scorching hot fish bite to tell you about at Eastern Washington's Potholes Reservoir and we've even got a whale watching report out of Puget Sound!  Find out more about the show, and find a station near you, at www.northwesternoutdoors.com
