Northwest Fishing Reports

Thanks for the feedback Branweeds! You always help me out on my questions for up north!
Yeah I avoided Terrell last year after spring since I knew it'd be really weedy and low.
I hit smallies really the hard last couple years but this year I want to focus on largemouth a bit more than I have been.

Hey all, Quick Questions. Are Fazon & Wiser accessible for a 18ft bass boat? Also maybe Beaver lake near Clear lake? Ive fished it but its been years and only from a pontoon, I doubt that one would work? I have these lakes on my list to fish but don't want to make the journey with my Z18 if they are...

Personally I've been really digging the Bass Pro Shops Johnny Morris Carbonlite 2.0 Spinning Combo. I have a couple of them and their great!

I'm not much of a fly fisherman but do a little. My question is for "fly fishing only" can you use flies that have metal eyes tied in them?
On that note, can you fly fish with small jigs with metal heads? I doubt it but the regs don't have the best description.

Thanks!

Sold

Hey all, I am selling my downrigger gear I had the sound but sold my ocean going boat so no longer needed it. Two 12lb balls One 15lb ball Two snubbers Three 30inch clips (one unopened) 3 cannon terminators And pack of Mason connector sleeves About a $200 value, asking $140 obo Located Marysville/Ev...

I have an electric Master Built I got from cabelas a few years back. Its super easy to use and its been great. It has pumped out some delicious smoked salmon. If it's cold out it has a remote to control temp, timer, etc I can use from inside while watching the smoker through my glass slider doors lol.

Hey all, Thought I'd throw this out there since the market is low at the moment. I'm looking for a nice bass boat under $30k. Ideally 175hp or higher and 18 ft long or longer also MUST be 4 stroke. Let me know if you know of anything or anyone interested in selling. I've been keeping my eye out on c...

I catch coho in the rivers until January almost February every year, lots are dime bright ones too (not that I can keep them that time of year since I'm steelhead fishing and they're not open). The water has been hit and miss since I am busy working M-F.. either blown out or too low it seems. But th...

Spectacle lake resort in tonasket. Great low key place. Has a convenience store, great owners, and great fishing. I have been going there almost every year my entire life and just love how relaxing it is away from the hustle and bussle we live in on the west side. Fishing is lights out over there co...

Shimano Sahara 2500 is my go to for reels, I have like 6 lol use them for bass and salmon. Get an ugly stick for budget purposes probably. I do enjoy my okuma SST but have broken like 3... mostly being an idiot snagged up on stuff... my new favorite rod is a lamiglass X11 8ft 6inch 8 to 12 lb. but y...

He did find a glass shop that could help in Monroe finally. Yeah Duckworth wouldnt even release the dimensions of the window to him... kind of ridiculous..

My buddy had one of his front windows on his 2015 Duckworth break out. Duckworth doesnt have replacement windows and there has been 9 local glass companies that have not been able to provide the correct type of tempered glass. Does anyone have any recommendations for window replacement? Shop or comp...

If it makes you feel any better I'm sure we have all had a day or two like that lol. Better luck next outing!

I havent been out lately, but opener at utsalady was on fire. There was lots of big Dungeness all hard shell. We threw back alot of keepers. People we knew pulled up one pot with about 3 limits in it while we were out there. Im hoping to maybe go again soon but I've been busy bass fishing due to low...

Maybe you found a cannibalistic tribe of bass haha they just feed on the smaller ones. "Baby Bass" can be one of the best colors for bass lures!

I have noticed at certain times on certain lakes I can smell fish. Not sure if there is one dead on shore up wind of me or if my subconscious is playing tricks on me as well haha. Not sure how to explain it though. Also I'm rarely on lakes with walleye.. I think your on to something though..

How come there are many boat launches still openly operating for pleasure boats but if you cast a pole out your breaking the law? Seems pleasure boating is much more of a social activity to me... a few photos of a fishery or two being crowded dictates the law for all fisheries in the state? Ridiculo...

54 to 55 degree surface temps is when I start hooking into the bass more regularly. But like you said it varies year to year. I sure hope this ban is lifted May 4th, I'm taking the day off for fishing haha

Thanks for the suggestion guys. I'll give it a go and see how I do. Thanks!
