Northwest Fishing Reports

Drove down from Lacey to fish for Crappies in Silver Lake. I’m from Ohio so Crappie fishing is in my blood. I fished the public fishing dock but got skunked and I didn’t know where else to fish. In Ohio the Crappie would be in shallow spawning now but they weren’t around the dock. Is May a good time...

David, you bailed?! Lame! Haha my uncle is nuts about fishing and he lived in California for 30 years. King salmon, halibut, shark, striper.. You name it! What area did you move to? I'll ask him about it. I've seen you slay and I personally believe it would be unhealthy and detrimental to your adol...

Thanks Bodo ! Strpier fishing sounds like very much fun especially on the fly !

Hahaha alright thanks Brat ! Thanks for the tips

So I just moved to California from Washington because of the Navy. Loved every minute of it in Washington and for sure will be back. I heard of a couple rivers that get steelhead and other types of salmon in it here in California, including Eel Mad and Klamath rivers. Never have fished these rivers ...

Ok ! Thanks for the advice !

Hey guys just got into fly fishing about 3 months ago so still a bit of beginner. This is going to be a bit of a nube question but I'm going to ask it anyways, is it possible to fly fish a glow bug with sink tip line ? If so how ?
Thanks in Advance, David

This is the rod that made me loyal to Lamiglas. I had it for 2 years and this and XMG are my favorite lamis so far. This is a very strong rod. Great if you are bushwhacking. By far one of my favorite king rods !

This is by far my most favorite rod on the market ! Great power and sensitivity. This year I also landed a 25lb king on my XMG but mine is an 8-12. Normally this light of a rod is more for steelhead but I use it for both species. The only negative I have on the rod is that the tip is a little weak. ...

Ditto what Brat said.

I don't know much about flossing either. Seen guys do it but from watching them do it, it seems like they had to let go about 25 fish that were hooked in the belly or tail before they finally hooked one in the face. I also noticed it has 4 parts. Cast, drift, rip, and reel in. Then repeat. go to th...

Yeah haha thanks brotha! I was talkin to David the other day, and he said I should fish the hump with you guys this year, you guys can show me the spots out there.[/quote]

Still just a thought though. Its a long drive and the only good bank spot we know of is Stevens crk.

The slayer is back ! Nice Fish btw.

i fished the skok yesterday and there are fish being caught but i will never return to this river as the people fishing there are anything but accommodating. i can handle combat fishing, as i frequent the puke, but the skok is just a joke. some of the guys i stood in line with were pretty good, but...

If I took clients to the Samish, or the Cascade, or Fortson, I wouldn't turn my nose up at guiding for pinks.

+1 what prime time says. Danny is one of the most legit and best fisherman I know. If hes not fishing pinks its either because he rather go for kings .

Duncan welcome back !!!!.... This dude is a legend !

what are you talking about today was hot, me and king killer slayed them just downstream of purdy ck, it was unreal fishing, wierd thing was that we were the only people there, huh more fish for us I guess.

Yeah the fish were stacked where we were fishing !

Yeah fish have been really big in the hood canal system as of late. I've went once this year and landed a 19 and 25 lb kings. Both being hens.

I've noticed the same thing on a lot of my hatchery fish as well. Most of the time it is a yellow spot near the belly though.

Just got a call from Brat he's saying the same thing. Might be early still.
