Northwest Fishing Reports

I have no problem giving them to you. I don’t have a garden any way. I just can’t stand trying to fillet them for a bite of meat. I guess if they would get to any size it might be ok but most don’t make it over six inches. I bet they taste allot like perch. I guess I made the fertilizer reference be...

Find a new women to give them to. Sorry couldnt help my self I love bad jokes. I tie my own steelhead jigs and have made similiar rigs thats cool.

Another good resource is the local Biologist. You can call fish and game and they will give you the number. I know that the local biologist I talked to said to kill every blue gill in the lake you catch and use it as fertilizer. The reasoning for this (keep in mind this is a smaller lake) was there ...

I’ve never camped or fished dworshak but you might catch a record small mouth if you go. I fish for steelhead below the damn on the north fork and the locals tell me it is probably the best small mouth fishery in the great north west. Its funny you posted this I was just reading an article yesterday...

Ive never seen the show but a lot of guys say one thing and do another if you know what I mean. Ive heard of guys trying to snag fish off beds and thats a problem.

I think its ok as long as you practice catch and release and if you do want to keep fish to eat only keep smaller ones as long as they are legal of course. They’re better eating any way. Nothing is worse then keeping illegal fish. P.S. If you’re looking for good table fair perch are far better tasti...

I fish a fairly shallow lake (25 feet at the deepest point) on the eastside a lot and have seen bass bedded by the launch. The launch also gets a ton of pressure because it is one of the only places people with no boats can fish publicly. One time on the lake I seen a kid catch a bedded bass and kee...

I use to live in that area as a kid and we use to catch trout from the campground area. If i remeber right we even caught some browns. There are some good holes through out the camp ground area and up above it. Im sure there are some nice fish in there still you just have to put in the time and aqui...

Has any one made it out yet I havent had a chance my girl friend has been in and out of the hospital. Found out her gull bladder is bad and has to be removed so I feel bad going out and fishing while shes at home in pain.

I think you answered your own question. THE WEEDS! they do make it hard to fish even for bass guys. But your right it does hold some lunkers. I went there a couple weeks ago and the weeds are already a nightmare. However I seen multiple spawning fish averaging at least 5 lbs. I think that this is a ...

Try trolling plugs. Like a rapala countdown # 5 or just experiment with other makes or models. I have trolled tons of diffrent lures but have always caught the bigest trout on plugs.

I hate answering a questions with a question but waht type of gear are you trying to use spinning or fly, and are you trying to fish the upper or lower region of the river. I think I read another post that said the upper was the best portion of river, I have been fishing the river for a few years no...

Hope everyone has a good safe weekend and catches lots of fish.

Hi I have an older (1965?) 10 hp johnson short shaft motor that is leaking oil out of the lower unit and seems to heat up. The motor still runs good but im not sure how long that will last. I live in the spokane area and was wondering if any one could point me in the direction of some help. Im looki...

I guess I figured it out sorry should have taken more time before I asked. But can any one tell me how I can resize my pics and here is some of my fish art for everyone

can some one instruct me on how to upload pics in the forum so i can join in on all the fun thanks

Ive caught a few burbot with a good old worm and marshmellow off the bottom but all at night. So i think they feed more activly at night. Im sure there are other baits but i think a worm and marshmellow will catch any thing good luck. P.S. I was fishing at Rufus

I didnt want to drill holes in my boat so i took a piece of 1 x 2 wood and attached the cone to it. then i just used a c clamp to mount the wood to the transom and no holes. Ive had it this way for about a year and works great. Also if i ever have to park my boat outside I can easly remove the whole...

I saw that report and thought somethng was fishy when it said amber lake to my understanding its a trout only lake but i just thought it was the work of a bucket biologist.

I havent fished this area for bass sorry but i can tell you I just read an article about guys going up there and catching huge pike. The reason i bring this up is because he also said he was having fun catching bass as well on the pike lures. I was just thinking about heading around the same area bu...
