Northwest Fishing Reports

I think it works a lot like hunting does. Its public to fish, but you still need permission to get onto their property. $150 is cheap for a permit. The hunting one was over $300 this past year. I was going to hunt it because it has amazing game, but not for that price!

For me this all comes down to species and the lake. Fire Tiger and perch usually work though for the bass I am after. but anything brown or darker when I try using them on trout

It's all about clear line. I used to wonder the same thing and I tried a neon green once when fishing for bass and caught nothing. Then I switched over to clear and fished the exact same spot just moments afterwards and caught three ranging from 2-4 lbs. I dont know if it depends on the species or n...

This is the only time I have really encountered the problem other than lakes such as Chelan which turns into a party town during the summer. But luckily its big enough we can head up north and fish that one!

it all depends on the lake, the temp and the habitat

calling the cops will create problems in my time. When someone called them on me as a kid I came back with m-80s and and reaked havoc on people. that was when you could find those sort of things. They just need to get a good ole' fashion beat down to learn the idea of respect

Thanks Jake!

I had the same question about a year ago as well and nobody could answer it for me. I only noticed one time in my fishing life

Which do you prefer for your different kinds of fishing? Im not talking brands, im talking the stiffness of a rod. Do you prefer it to be more stiff or flimsy?

I prefer a flimsy rod for fish such as trout and other small fish but for bass I use a stiffer more durable rod

Daiwa's megatwitch reals seem to be working great for me now. Easy to use and i have no problems ever

I havent noticed it to bad in the past as well but last night it was there

Yeah I have luck with out a boat as well, but the new Triton 192 Allure makes me happy

I agree with the garage sales. I picked up two smokers last year for $50. Perfect condition as well. Or do the craigslist bit. Seems to work with things!!!! Oh and buy some alder chips, soak the chips for 24 hours in jack daniels then use just a basic brown sugar, salt and water brine. INCREDIBLE!!!!

Make me feel better about being poor and wanting a boat REALLY bad?

So I went fishing last night around 6 pm at Cottage Lake in King County. Caught my limit without losing any fish which was a good time, but I was fishing from the dock. First it was mass crowded which made things difficult at first. Then the lake was full of nothing but loud, disrespectful, obnoxiou...

I scuba dive a lot around this area and have encountered MANY lings down there. Some of the biggest I have seen are in the Edmonds dive park, which you cant fish. SUcks but oh well. Other places are up towards hat island. I dont know exact location but I can ask my father who dives with me and see w...

The only thing they really do for unlisted lakes is tell you whether or not it has boat access or not.

Or just drop that big Merc down in that water and let her rip! See who you can piss off that day!

Wow Gissberg Ponds already got some in it. Gonna have to try them out this sunday!

Washingtonfishingfools.com is a pretty good one I use as well!
