OUTDOORS: Matt Schubert’s five best bets to do this weekend

■ Dungeness crab — Success stories are flying fast and furious for crabbers in Dungeness Bay.

That’s typically the case during the first two or three weeks of the season, so you best get while the gettin’ is good.

■ Sekiu salmon — Anglers can take their pick out in Sekiu.

Kings, coho, humpies . . . they’ve got just about everything biting in the land of female fish statues.

■ Surf’s up ­— The eighth annual Surfing and Traditions surf event returns to LaPush this Saturday and Sunday.

As in the past, the event includes a youth surf camp on Saturday followed by a surf competition and beach cleanup on the second day.

For more information, see the story on Page A7 in today’s PDN.

■ Stand up paddling — Instructor and author Rob Casey will host a series of stand up paddle classes at Freshwater Bay/Crescent Beach on Saturday and Sunday.

Casey will also hold a book signing — he recently completed Stand Up Paddling: Flatwater to Surf and Rivers — on July 9 at Harbinger Winery, 2358 Highway 101 West, near Port Angeles from 6-8 p.m.

For more information, or to register for the classes, contact Adventures Through Kayaking at 360-417-3015 or tammi@atkayaking.com.

■ Lake Angeles trout — It’s about a month later than normal, but Lake Angeles has finally thawed out.

No doubt, there’s plenty of hungry trout swimming around its waters right now.
