Northwest Fishing Reports

Looks like you're fishing in a cartoon lake.

2 more on Saturday gets me to 108. I did lose a big fish near the boat that I never got to see and released 3 nice bass. My fishing partner for the day had the days big fish coming in at 39" and 17 1/2 pounds.

I fished the north end of Cda with a friend last night after work for a few hours and released 5 small pike. I'm at 106 for the year. Watched a giant follow the bait back to the boat but she was a window shopper. No biter

7 more on Saturday brings me to 101. A 35"er was top fish of the day and my biggest this year in the lower 48. You can see my report for the photo. Kind of a pain to add them on the forum.

Well I hate to say this but the fishing was rather slow up at Last Mountain Lake this trip. 4 years ago I released 157 pike. 2 years ago, 106 pike and this year I only released 58 pike. The quality of the fish was great with a majority of them measuring over 32". My biggest was 41", and 40", with se...

Rick, you are correct. I also checked my math and 12 + 24 is 36, not 37. I have edited my post. Thanks for keeping me on my toes. I to have a goal to catch aa 48" pus pike in Idaho. I believe I have seen that fish but haven't caught her yet. I would love to some day catch and release a pike that is ...

Well I ran up my pike numbers a little on Saturday. The small pike were really aggressive and I released 24 pike and 5 small mouth. I did finally get one over 30". Wow what a slow year so for me at fish over 30. My biggest Saturday was 30 1/2" and weighed in at 8 pounds. She put up a great fight. 24...

Very nice looking fish there Rick. I got out Saturday and released 8 pike. Nothing of any size yet this year. Biggest 2 were 27 and 27 1/2". Not sure if I'll get out next weekend but we'll be leaving for Last Mountain on the 6th. Then things will change for me :) We'll fish for 5 1/2 days and I'll h...

Well I finally broke the ice last Saturday catching 4 small pike. It wasn't a stellar day but there were at least a few twenty somethings willing to play. I did have a monster follow me back to the boat, ever so close to a hand made lure I got from a new friend in Germany, but she wouldn't bite. May...

I know a guy that buys a Tribal license and fishes successfully for walleye from the bank at the Little Falls dam

The new site looks great. So far I've been able to find my way around just fine. Nice job guys!

According to this website below there are Pike in Lake Washington and Banks lake in Wash. state, and Pike in the Clearwater river in Idaho? Which is news to me and if so why is the game dept's not up in arms about it as they are in the P.O. and Columbia rivers. I think they have their facts wrong b...

I have owned both brands. However both boats were windshield models and longer that what you're talking about. That said, I did enjoy the Smokercraft but the quality of everything in it didn't measure up to the lunds of that same time period. I had several good years out of it and it also had a Suzu...

Canada can most certainly produce fat pike like that. I'll be back there in June and wearing my arms out catching them. Only thing is they'll be post spawn and on the skinny side. One day I'll go after them in October when they're fat and heavy!

Plain old scrubbing bubbles has worked well for me in the past.

Looks like he started the year off with a beauty!

I'm guessing all that is intended for fish brought to a lake from another location, not a fish that was already in that lake. If they intended for it to include that lake it likely would say "Must be retained and killed". However, with all the liberals that seem to be coming out of the woodwork thes...

18 pike last Saturday and 24 more yesterday gets me to 168 on the year. IT's been a great year for quality fish! I'm already looking forward to next year!!

Regardless of which gloves you choose, they can all be helped out by using the Hot Hands warmers or any of the other brands. The websites suggest putting them in the palm of your hand. However, I don't like the bulky feeling in the palm of my hand when I'm hanging on to the rod. I put them on the ba...

It's cool for Avery to have a record and such a young age. Nice going. I was just looking at some of the other records. The Northern Pike Minnow is 23 3/4" I believe the one I caught earlier in the year would have eclipsed that. Wish I'd have entered it. It would be fun to have two records. Then aga...
