Northwest Fishing Reports

Hate to be the pessimist. But I smell a bait and switch scheme here. Get us all excited so license sales increase, then come June or July emergency closures start showing up. God I Hope I'm wrong........

Thanks, I was just thinking of taking the boat out for a spring shakedown/test new prop on my main. Thought American might be producing already , so it would be a win-win. Thanks for the insight again.

So no one is fishing American lake and posting anymore ? Or am I just Antsy and it's too early?

Well that sucks to lose the parking this year. I'll be at cape disappointment during the week before Labor day.

If you don't have a problem backing up 2-300 feet the launches are quite usable. Taidnapam North is the better of the open launches, the other being at Mossyrock park. Little to no debris at either launch. I've had no problems launching my 20 foot Duckworth at either.

We were there this weekend, Afraid the bridge is hopeless. However there are a few places you can get down to the waters edge to bank fish. That being said, I talked to a Kayak fisher who said he fished the bridge area for a couple hours with no action at all.

Retrieval of boat: Do everything in reverse of launching. Guess this guy took it a little to literal!

Don't want it...look at this bill http://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=5817&Year=2017 SB 5817 - DIGEST Authorizes taxes approved by regional transit authority voters after January 1, 2015, to be nullified within the complete boundaries of a city or county within a regional transit authority...

I wonder if they closed it down due to lack of interest\use.....? We have decided to go to Chelan instead in March and chase Kokes. We enjoyed the cabin when we went there a couple years ago and thought it was reasonably priced, but $50 a night to camp on the river bar with no amenities other than ...

Funny, now I get nothing on it. I had just looked it up yesterday and bookmarked the reservation page. Now my reservation request is probably hopelessly lost on the interweb!!!!! I will have to try the phone number tomorrow. The wife really wants to go back there, it's been 3 years.

It came up on Google for me. I'm attempting to make reservations via email right now. If I don't hear back in a couple days I will call the number given. That's how I reserved there last time.

I just typed it into my browser today and found the site. Email is [email protected] Phone# 509-422-1601. Hope this helps if you haven't already gotten in contact with them.

Well there goes another $50 into the tackle box.... Can't have just one! LOL

Got Them, Thanks Mike and everyone else at NWFR !!!!

USFS campground on Bumping has Vault toilets only, No known campgrounds within 25 miles that have flushing toilets. As for fishing I've only only seen trout and kokanee.

So I'm surprised that I haven't seen an uproar on here yet of the proposed license fee increases of up to or in some cases more than doubling . Check out the latest email from CCA Washington

Thanks I may have to do that too. We will be staying at a cabin on Lake Blaine so maybe I'll have to get a 2 day lic. to try both.

Don't know if I'd call it an exotic destination but we are going there in mid August and just wonder if anyone here has fished there. I did some online research last night and sounds like it's a beautiful lake but fishing is pretty slow. Looks like kokanee and lake trout are primary targets. I'll ha...

A friend of mine had a 2004 16' Smoker "Millentia" or some name like that, that after 3 years held water like swiss cheese. I see the newer fish/ski smokercrafts are at least welded at the seams
