Northwest Fishing Reports

Thanks, Stacie! Very helpful!

Thanks! Sounds like one I need to fish this summer.

Drove by Bass Lake today, just north of Bonneville, in Skamania County. There is public parking with a hiking trail and a Army Corp of Engineer info booth on the lake, with fishing marked as allowed. However, I have never seen any posts here or elsewhere about this lake. Has anyone fished it that wo...

Stacie, I have a question regarding a creek in your neck of the woods, Salmon Creek in Vancouver, Washington. Are there any current special regulations on this creek that haven't been released yet? I want to make sure before fishing it this summer. Also, Stacie, could you shed some light on the stat...

I know a nearby stream with a healthy cutthroat population. I would like to target them over Christmas when I have some free time to fish. However, is catching stream cutthroat when the water is high and muddy really feasible? I've caught them during the summer, with clear water and plenty of slow p...

This has been a very informative thread, despite the immaturity displayed by some (one) member. As usual, the topic of carp or "roughfish" seem to raise the blood pressure of the less well-rounded anglers (as seen in a previous thread on the matter) Haters aside, back to the subject. I've had the mo...

Hey, if South Korea actually has a healthy largemouth bass population. There's an excellent blog called Landing Lunkers, here is the link: http://www.landinglunkers.com/ It's a pretty sweat blog, updated by several guys who fish for bass and bluegill in South Korea quite often. Good luck out there, ...

Racfish, try a hair rig with your dough balls. Carp are not easy to catch, they are quite an elusive target, and locating them is half the fun. The guys at CAG helped me learn alot about carp angling, Euro rigs, bite alarms and other tricks. The only reason I have a two-rod stamp is for carp and bas...

Wow, those are some nice fish. 9lb bag aint bad.

Alot of good information here, glad to see the thread is still going:cyclopsan

^ That is nuts. Hope your friend can win if he contests it.

The price for the two pole endorsement is a little overboard, IMHO. It's $12 in California, and about $25 in Washington.

So, what does this mean for B.A.S.S.? Good or bad things? I read the magazines religiously in junior high, used to be really good stuff.

Yeah, the Regs pamphlet is pretty insane.

That's a huge fish, didn't know they got that big. Looks like it is as floppy as a noodle though, lol

Wow, looks like it was a lot of fun. I have to get over to East WA and fish there sometime, nice catches!

Great post, similar to what I've been facing, looking forward to seeing the replies.

AA (and anyone else interested), I did run into an article discussing the amount of smolts eaten by walleye and smallies as compared to northern pikeminnow: "“About 70 percent of the pikeminnow diet is salmonids,” he said. “With smallmouth bass and walleyes, only about 20 percent of their diet is fi...

As always, thanks for posting on these forums Stacie! Super informative!

I wasn't aware of the issue with Spraque, haven't (unfortunately) fished Eastern Washington lakes (yet). "...leaving fish remains in shallow water after removing the normally eatable portions, or leaving any whole or portion of non-game or invasive species in such a manner which would permit floatin...

Hahaha, great pic. Must be over 9000 ft deep to hold all those fish (and more right?!)lol.
