Northwest Fishing Reports

I've been using the Abu Garcia black max 2. It's my first bait caster and I love it. Really easy to get the hang of once everything is adjusted correctly. I rarely will get a backlash although it does still happen. But it's a great reel to learn on. And it's an awesome price at cabelas.

Hey guys thanks for the tips. Went out today (Saturday) and used my baitcaster on the water for the first time. Got the hang of it real quick once I got it tuned up. Used it for floating eggs and jig under a float. Caught 2 chum. Although they were not my target species they were lots of fun. It was...

Went on saturday and water was perfect. if im not mistaken it was around 7k ft/sec and about 7.5ft
But no luck with the coho.

Where are the coho at??? is the coho season over now? is it time to give up on the cohos and go for steelhead?

What is the highest numbers that the sky is fishable? I don't wanna make the 30min drive just to see a blown out river and turn around.

As of 8:05am Friday morning it looks as though it's peaked and on the downward slope. Hopefully no more rain for the next 2-3 days will put it where we need it.

I usually start down at thomas eddie. Then i start moving until i find fish. My routine these last couple weeks has been thomas eddie, then 522 bridge, then prison hole or tulaco loop rd, then cracker bar, then end at reese rd and i usually hike down to the mouth of the wallace or just up river from...

Ive been hearing some talk about the rivers being blown out for the weekend. What you all think. Ive never fished this far past pink season. What do you guys think about this weekend?? Weather looks like rain friday and its looking pretty dry for saturday, maybe a little sprinkle. Whats your take on...

Thanks for the info guys. This really helps. Ill be out in the backyard for the on weekdays getting a feel for everything sense it gets dark at 5:00pm and i dont get home till 6:00pm and cant fish after work anymore. Ive been really excited to use my new reel and rod but dont want to waste precious ...

I bought my first bait caster set up a few weeks ago afyer getting a good pay check and buying myself a little present. I've taken it out once and couldn't seem to cast more than 10ft from where I was. Can anyone give me a little info on how to use a bait caster reel. I usually use my spin reel but ...

Went out Saturday and the wind was crazy. It was blowing my line all I've the place ad couldn't feel anything. Did get one bite on Reese road but lost it after a few whips but it was so nasty. I figured Sunday would be blown out. Hopefully next weekend will be better weather. Hoping for a good weeke...

Ill be out there again this weekend. Scoped out a few new spots last weekend after fishing thomas eddy for 5 or 6 hours (mostly hiking, scoping out some nice spots.) I know i have found where they are hiding out at. This weekend ill be going out to see what they are biting on. Going to try eggs, aga...

Just a little update on how my season is going. I went out fishing today (saturday 10/26) fished prison hole for 2-3 hours and saw one fish jump. I stuck mostly to dick nites and jigs. no bites. My dad did catch a really fresh looking humpy that actually hit the lure. We almost crapped ourselves whe...

Has any one fished Thomas eddy this past week at all? Any fish down there at all?

That's great to hear. We had a little sprinkle this morning. Not much at all but hopefully sense it's been so dry lately it will get the fish moving a little and we can have a good weekend of fishing. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

I was out fishing last sunday and saw a lady who caught a real chromer. Really nice looking fish. Im sure they are still out there, saw quite a few jumping last weekend. They are just a pain in the you know what to find. I still cant seem to hook my first coho. Ill be out there again this weekend st...

Id like to hook into a chum just for the fight. I hear they are one of the best fighting fish. I dont like the taste of any fish at all. Just like fishing for sport. But sense chums are a no no in the sky ill just stick to steelhead. Ive never got one of those either but always wanted too. When does...

Thanks for the Info. I just bought new waders last Friday so any spot I can possibly use them I'm going too. I'm excited to get out there this weekend. Let it be Saturday morning already. Good luck out there guys.

What rivers can you fish for chum legally?

My plan for saturday and sunday (sense seahawks arent playing) is to start at reformatory hole and work my way up to reese road, stopping at any river access i can find. And throw my whole tackle box out there. Everything i got in there and moving should give me a good chance at finding some fish. i...

When do the chum start running? What you using to catch them dogs? And where are some likely places to hook these bad boys. I heard proctor creek was a pretty good place and use purple jigs.
