Northwest Fishing Reports

I will be heading down there as well, memorial day weekend. If anyone knows of some good smallie waters and feels like sharing with the class, it would really help me out!

That things looks like a score for 170 bucks! I will keep my eye out for one. Thanks for the info too.

I am primarily interested in trying my hand at trout fishing using ultra-light and light spinning gear, but want to branch out to try my hand at salmon and steelhead in the future. Find a lake on the WDFW webiste that lists a species of trout in season this month, and preferably one with a good fis...

What Costco did you get that from? I have a hole in my float tube and I can't decide between another one or a pontoon like that.

Up here on the Nooksack, it is incredible to see 20-30 of them in the trees right over your head. They sure love those old spawned out chum!

Juniah, Isn't that lake closed until April? I also have a 12' Livingston with a 5.5 Seahorse and a trolling motor. Its a dual hull fiberglass boat I got from my grandpa. I really only take it out when I have a buddy or two to take fishing, because I enjoy the simplicity of a fishing kayak. But the b...

I worked for WDFW at half a dozen different hatcheries for 5 years raising chinook, coho, pink salmon, chum, steelhead, brown trout, rainbow trout, and tiger trout in the Pierce County area, followed by a year in the private sector raising rainbows in net pens on the Columbia River. How did you lik...

I am thinking about an overnighter at Depression lake with a friend this weekend. This is the small stocked bow lake connecting to Baker Lake. However, it doesnt look like the lake has been stocked yet this year. Has anyone fished this lake prior to an annual stocking? Would you guys think it's wort...

washingtonflyfishing.com has great fly fishing forums as well, but this is my favorite by far

Let's_Go_Fishing! wrote:I've posted a few times looking for someone with a boat to fish north county waters (fresh or salt) and MA 8-2 but have no solid responses. Bank or pier fishing's okay too. Early morning or weekday fishing preferred.

How far North??

I just found one on craigslist the other day, and bought if from the guy yesterday. It is a Lifetime Payette Sit-Inside fishing kayak with two rod holders behind the seat, and one in front. I took it out right when I got it, but it was a nasty windy day so I didnt get much of a chance to fish. I do ...

I don't know how you guys aren't ranting about senkos. Nothing has even come close to catching more fish for me than those. Wacky rigged they don't imitate any natural prey of the bass, however they still go crazy for them. If you ever have trouble, just go grab some Gary Yamamoto Senkos in green pu...

Nice channel! I just picked up a Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4k drone, I'm planning on making some sweet fishing vids this spring!

What in the world does this?

Alright! Thank you guys for the info. I might end up looking at Cabelas sometime soon, or just getting some nicer line for my current reels. TFO looks like they make some nice rods as well. I am guessing that both of the rods I have are at least 30 years old and heavily used, so a new rod might be s...

Hello everyone, So I have recently found a passion for fly fishing. Last year I chased a few trout with an old rod and reel from my girlfriend's dad, who gave me a couple of 1980's rods and several old Orvis reels. I really enjoyed learning how to cast, and I am really itching for spring to come to ...

I agree with Larry 100%. onmygame I certainly agree with Larry in some aspects, and I do not support accusing them of being bad people. If I had the chance to net fish to support my family I have no doubt that I would be doing it. But that doesn't mean that I should be allowed to. I do think they a...

While I agree with a few of your points, your blatant racism is inappropriate and doesnt help things at all. Its attitudes like yours that are the reason the tribes want the meetings closed. Spreading hate and racism accomplishes nothing good. I am more getting the sense that he is against their wa...

Thanks for the info Bodofish, if I have time to join an outing or meeting I would love to!

I will PM you some good information I found about other locations!
