Northwest Fishing Reports

As long as pinks are bled, gutted, and put on ice right away, the flesh will remain firm. Pinks are not greasy at all and make good table fair if cared for right away. You are right, that is, if in the river for awhile, they can get soft and off color. But if they've only been in fresh water for a d...

Can anyone tell me about the perch fishing on Flowing Lake near Monroe? I've been invited to a bbq next sunday afternoon and considered taking my boat and targeting perch for a couple hours.

Any advice or experiences would be great as I've never been there.

Thank you - Matt

45 minute battle on 30 lb test. We had to unhook from the anchor and chase him down before he spooled me.

54 lb Chinook. Caught in Freshwater and in '08, but if you're looking for "motivation". . . .

This boat has sold.................

Curado,
Is the fish you're holding the one you think is 14 lbs? I'm not an expert, but i would guess that fish to be no more than 7lbs. . .

BB, it's been a good little boat and I hate to sell it but I got a bigger boat and it's just too hard to jockey the boats arounds to get to one or the other. Maybe I should just buy a house with more property:compress:

14 ft MirroCraft - 1967 20 hp Johnson - mid 80's King trailer - 1996 This boat and motor have been well used but for the age, it is in good condition. Boat has some dents and scratches but absolutely no leaks! The motor isn't much to look at, but will start everytime with just a few pulls! Boat was ...

I think it has more to do with temperature/pressure changes than anything else (maybe vegetation growth). When the weather has been constant for awhile, it doesn't seem to matter where I go; perch bite. But when the pressure changes drastically, even my best holes (where I'm marking fish) seem vacant.

If you guys want some easy Crappie fishing you need to try Cassidy right away. Look up my last report. The bite is on at sundown, but a buddy of mine went yesterday morning and slayed 'em.

I nailed a big one in Walla Walla County on the 2nd to last day of season; my biggest to date. 10" beard with 1" spurs on both sides. What a way to end the season:cheers:

That's awesome info, swede. Thanks :compress:

I have been in touch with many fellow anglers at WL.com about perch fishing. Just wanted to let all of know here (rather than p.m.ing everyone) and if you didn't see the report for 5/17/09, that the perch have moved up to 20 ft depths in Lake Sam. photo attached (hopefully)

I'm embarresed to say that I live so close to Lk Wa. and seldom fish it in winter months.I guess the other guys grass is always greener then your own.I mean fishing. I also live close to L. WA, but don't have the right boat that is often needed for the bad weather. I'd really like to know about Lk ...

Just wondering if anyone has done good on the perch lately; specifically on Lake Sammamish?

Thanks, Matt

How much did that weigh?

6 hours after it was bled, it weighed 52 lbs.

I posted this pic on the report page but never actually posted it in the forum. So as requested from the Hunting Forum:

The rut finally kicked in for me on Friday the 14th. I was able to bag a decent buck on my last day of hunting. Have a look!
