Northwest Fishing Reports

Can you say WA or ID?

goodness, someone has to post a 2022 pike report. not one pike on roosevelt this year. just dozens of walleye. the gill nets are better fishermen than I. enjoyed idaho chain lakes last week netting 8 pike up to 5 lbs. in two days. wanted to go back but got shoulder surgery last week so everything is...

thanks for the updates. I'll have to try it next week when we get out of the Alaska temps.

I assume you are talking perch thru the ice?

To All You Pike Haters, I watched a 'Monster Fish" TV show two weeks ago wherein he was trying to catch monster catfish in France. They would only bite at night but France outlawed night fishing to protect their precious PIKE POPULATION!! Are you listening F &W Idaho and WA! He had to get special cl...

I assumed they were no longer transporting the netted pike north. Typical pattern; mollify the fishermen by saying they are managing the fishery one way or another and then smooze into "full management". I fished Killarney early Oct. and caught 7 pike in a half day of fishing. Got lucky and hit a ra...

Not to worry. My moniker is "fishing is 98% luck and the rest is all skill".

Thank you. I'd appreciate that as I was thinking of one more trip to the chains yet this fall

There was news of netting pike in the south end of CDA lake and claimed to be releasing them on the north end.
I fished the chains this July and got only 4 in three days. It was pretty HOT so that probably was the slow bite. Perhaps better now?

The tribal gill nets wiped us out from Roosevelt to Lake Pend Oreille, Id. Along with a lot of bass, walleyes, trout, etc etc.

Deltadawg,

That true?

Rick, probably not again for me in Wa. You can fix ignorance with education but stupid.....well, that's a tough one.

It was an excellent meeting with the Priest River city council. The half hour anti-gillnetting of walleye, bass, pike, white fish, and bull trout presentation was professionally done, convincing, and well-received by the council. Hopefully the coalescing of support from many fronts will continue to ...

Rick,
I'll be there. I assume you meant on the EAST side of town at the base of the hill and not the west side

Mostly maybe Rick could show us where all the gill nets are located!!!

Sounds like I will have to come along and sit between you two!!

Not so fast! I'll make you a good deal on an extra 10" hand auger i have available

BOTH! You are winning the one man race!

'That's lousy news, Rick. Guess i will have to look harder for a few pike on Roosevelt now. Tried the P.O. river to no avail.
My next essox is Curlew for a week mid-sept. If they are biting, i will let you know.

Yeh, i know Mark but the family wanted to go camping/fishing and the big lake is the pitts for camping. Nothing compared to Killarney.
