Northwest Fishing Reports

Hey all, I'm looking to go find the next smallmouth record and I am looking for some help. I've not fished this stretch of the Columbia and wanted to ask any of you that have a few questions: If I put in at White Bluffs, how far north do I have to travel to get into some big smallies? Is there a bet...

It's off the Columbia, near Vantage. I've been told by a few people that it would work off to the side, but was just seeing if anyone had experience there.

Hey all. I've got a 10' boat with a 55 lb. trolling motor. Would I be able to get around this area without getting swept down river?

I m sure the current is variable, but just curious if I can find some of those river smallies without an actual gas motor.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Let's get the photos going again. First of the year for me. 47 degree water.

Hey guys and gals. I'm trying to generate some interest for these upcoming tournaments that I have taken a part of the last few times. I like a few things about them: You fish when you want as long as it's public waters, whenever you want Friday to Sunday Tourney is based on your 5 longest fish, not...

Hey all, I have no stake in this, but I figured I'd put it out there as a fun way to get some people involved and it's a cheap way to enter a tournament. Starts Friday to Sunday. Check out the link for more details. It's only $26 for non members and you get to fish where ever you want in the NW regi...

Thanks. I took the drive figuring I could find some other lakes if it wasn't open. I ended up with a couple smallies before the sun came out and the pleasure boaters took over. Makes for an unpleasant feeling in my little 7' boat. So I headed home. Thanks for replying.

Hi, anyone know if the boat launch is accessible? The reason I ask is that Pine Lake says their park is open on the website, but when you get there, the parking lot is closed and you can't get to the boat launch. Just want to make sure I don't drive an hour to be turned around. Need to catch me some...

Here's the only other one that I know of, but they're in Vancouver and Victoria, Canada. Too bad the exchange rate isn't what it was 8 years ago.

Here's a site that claims to carry them. Not sure if they do, but they've got 3 stores in Washington.

Bob, Rutherford is no longer accessible. Some rather inconsiderate "gentleman" bought the access road and put up no trespassing signs all over the place. I hear he is quite the peach, prosecuting anyone that parks on the road or tries to ride their horse to the Snoqualmie trail. I really wanted to f...

Lake Alice actually does have some very nice bass in it, but 2 years ago they sprayed for weed control and I haven't hooked any since. I was thinking of starting again this year as from what i've heard, the bass go deep and won't come shallow until the chemicals have dispersed. Which I have also hea...

So i'm curious as to get some input about deep hooked fish. I catch and release all of my bass but I would be interested to know from anyone who might have better knowledge on the subject what the survival rate of deep hooked fish is roughly. I have a tool from Rapala that has allowed me to recover ...

Looking for help to purchase a new battery for an 8' boat and looking for something with a 6-8 hour life for 2 people. Recommendations????????? So far looking at Sears Die Hard Marine batteries. Also a recommendation for a charger that won't burn down my home.

Thanks ahead of time.

After missing out on 2011, first time out today worked out well. From one of my local sloughs.

I was thinking the same thing about one of my local lakes here in Carnation, same thing as Cassidy trout stocked, great cover and such and all I could pull out was 8-12"ers. Until this year that is. This year the fish are bigger, fatter and stronger and I'm not seeing as many of the little guys, so ...

I have used the flip gun and it works rather well and quickly. I was skeptical when I bought it because after all it is pink, but it works. The only thing I would recommend is to pick up a few as the break down rather quickly being almost all plastic. I was given a better constructed (forged aluminu...

I just wonder where the sun is shining, because all of the places I'm fishing, it's raining and miserable.

And so the thread diverts to yet another topic!!!!! I'm just waiting for the first photo to be thrown up on this post so it can be the new

trophy/where are you fishing/when do bass spawn/photos during spawn thread.

Please add more people......
