Haven’t ever fished Riffe from a boat. It had always been at the dam with a bobber. After reading the reports I decided to go and try this fishery. Stayed at Mossyrock Park (family loved it) and my ...

A weekend of chasing solvers on Riffe ended up being a trout-fest. Whatever we threw and whatever depth it seemed there was a trout to intercept it. Since we were using bait we ended up keeping 15 tro...

Pleased that this is my first report...and it was a good day on the water! While launching we (my 8yo son and I) passed another angler who gave a disappointing report, not very hot out there. Well, we...

My dad and I went fishing for my birthday at the highway 12 side of Mossyrock Dam. We got to the dam around 1:30. The water was well below the ramps so we had to climb way down the rocks to get to the...

Got on the water at 11am, fished the dam for a few but was not marking any fish. Moved East a couple miles and started getting consistent hits at 25-35’. I’d say we lost a dozen or so fish before we g...

Man that boat launch is no joke. It was closed to motorized boats but we were allowed to walk kayaks up/down. It's a steep 1/10 of a mile trek though. We were after landlocked coho salmon and some of ...

We didn't fish, but just wanted to make a run out to soak the dog and check the lake level. I heard that it was way low so wanted to see for myself. It appears that the level is remaining high enough ...

Foolishly thinking that because it was hot the week before it’d be hot today, I took my buddy to fish Mossyrock Dam. Same set up as last week, pretty much the same weather, virtually the same spot, an...
