Northwest Fishing Reports

I've caught pikeminnow on the snoqualmie river right below fall city. I also hear they can get thick in the sammamish river. Just make sure to check the regs on what you can use to catch them.

Last time I caught pike I was fortunate enough to be on a river with coyotes near by. I tossed them on the shore, motored up stream, and when I came back they were gone. I would never toss them in a populated area though, I wouldn't want the smell of dead fish around my house or campground either. c...

I remember looking at that last year after I pulled a few from the snoqualmie river. I remember it only being the lower in order to help salmon fry I belive. It might have changed but doubtfull. that would be a lot of river and a lot of money being handed out. Plus all the extra staffing needed to m...

I hit pine lake with fishing machine. Got a little cameo on the 5 oclock news. My hand and arm are tired from the casting and releasing. Had a few good laughs. Weather wasn't that bad.

I've been buying a lot of deep cycle batteries from batteries plus. Check them out. you won't get the optima or trojan stamp, but their batteries do the same thing for a lot less.

thanks guys. I thought pine lake had always been the third saturday of april, but I guess they pushed it back this year. I did see quite a few stockers rising so should be lots of fun next week. So those people I saw on the dock were poaching! Just kidding, I'm sure they thought the same thing I did.

I took my daughter there today for lunch expecting to see the place packed like it usually is opening weekend. I was surprised when I only saw 5 or 6 people on the dock and not a single boat in the water. I realize they stocked 10000 trout this year as opposed to the 30k the last few years, but am I...

I just finished a couple of books on steelhead fishing. They talked a little about water tempeture and things like looking for cover for the fish but I still have some questions. I'm mostly interested in spoon/spinner fishing. Can you catch fish in 3 feet of clear, fast running flat water- no holes...

I had a friend just recently show me a picture from his home in hoodsport. the whole canal was iced over and thats salt water! I'm glad its now a blistering 50 degrees. I don't mind the cold, but prolonged sub freezing temeratures aint cool.

Bent, thanks for the tip. I head through fall city on my way to langois, tokul, snoqualmie, tolt, raging.... Now that I know there is a bait shop in the city I wont have to worry about running out. I guess I need to make it a point to stop into more of these small stores when I'm out and about.

thanks guys. Most of the small stores around here only carry bait during the main summer season. I've been to the fred myers on east lake but never saw anything near the fishing department. They must keep them somewhere else? The big 5 near me does not have live bait either, at least none that I've ...

You know, the one that sells all the live bait almost everywhere you go. Some one once told me to track down that company in order to find out where they deliver to. I'm trying to find a place on the eastside that sells nightcrawlers this late in the season. With Joes gone it's a hassle every time I...

One of the hardest lakes for me to crack was langlois in king. I lost a LOT of gear on that lake due to all the structure everywhere but it's produced some of the best natural stock trout for me last season. Now it's my favorite lake.

I was looking over the regs, I have 3 ducks that have been in my pool and was wondering if I was able to bow and arrow them would it be legal? I know I can't discharge a firearm within city limits, and the season is open, so is there some other law protecting these ducks from becoming dinner?

I went by outdoor emporium and got the last live ones they had. Funny some of the guys working there used to work at the joes by my house.

thanks, ill give them a call.

Curado showed me a spot in monroe for sand shrimp, but with the clousure of Joes in Issaquah, I have no where else to go. Do any of you know of a few places? I live in Issaquah, but work downtown and I am willing to go anywhere in between. I'm just trying to find a spot closer to home.
thanks guys

When I was thinking of wire cross, the harness points was what came to mind. I have seen harnesses forced and the pins inside bent causing a wire cross. I have also seen corosion from salt water bridge points in a harness. Then there is always a poor/ cheap harness with frayed wiring inside the plas...

My experiance at potlatch was ok. The downsides are the park sits on the 101 freeway so you have road noise throughout the night. The camping spaces are also right on top of each other so you better be prepared to know your neighbors. On the up side the park is kept clean, the bathrooms are nice wit...

if its staying on after the car is turned off sounds like you may have a wire crossed somewhere. Possibly mis labeled harness. It could be a multitude of things. Do your blinkers on the tow vehicle do the same thing?
