Northwest Fishing Reports

this is a great idea........ i normally fish on the snoqualmie pass area fishing at lost lake or the two lakes close by but i have traveled to fish lake for some perch action at least 3 times a year. for me its all about just enjoying the hard water. i fish for trout, salmon, perch, and would love t...

WOW all of these lakes sound great......................... but my question is are any of the above mentioned lakes able to be driven to in the winter with a snowmachine?????????? the reason im asking is i am a avid ice fisherman and would love to expand my ice fishing options...... any help,maps, a...

this weekend i went to lost lake up on snoqualmie pass and had a great time. i drilled thru 4 feet of ice/slush/snow/water until i broke thru. the actuall ice depth is about 10 inches of very white or fractured ice. so i would say that it is going to be dangerous within the next 2 weeks or so. the s...

i just talked to the woman at the cove resort, she said that 2 days ago there was several people on the ice but that they (the cove) ran them off due to the quality of the ice. i asked her how deep the ice was she said she does not know and she would never get on the ice........................... s...

anyone hear about fish lake yet by levenworth??????? i see on the cam its frozen but cant see anyone on it yet!!!!!!!!

I thought I would get the topic started up again like last year. Please report ice thickness/ strength and if you wet a line or not. Spokane area is supposed to be cold for about a week so I'm crossing my fingers that some of the lakes will strart to get a little cold...please oh please... i second...

Why would you need a bouyant suit for ice fishing? When I ice fish the ice is usually 20 plus inches thick. If its less then 10" thick I wouldnt go on it. Even if it dosent make you bouyant it sure kills any pain that might happen. the bouyant suit is a great idea if you think you are going for a s...

Kfedka, I have never used the suit your talking about but i use the Artic Armor blue suit and could not be happier it keeps me warm in the coldest days high up in the mountains as i ride my snow machine to the lakes then after i set up the shantie i have to take it off because of the temps. the safe...

your a lucky man to have gotten more than 1 or 2 of those heaters but to have a 1.5 boxes of them makes you enlightened beyond all knowledge. As for ice fishing if you have never went then it is extreamly important expessually in washington state that you go with someone whoe knows about ice fishing...

ya that same company used to make a large 12x12 patch that was a great idea you could put it in your sleeping bag and stay warm even i nthe coldest nights. i wish they continued to make it i have not seen it in about 4 years. but it was a good idea.

you know you coud use that as a foot warmer and put your feet on it then you will stay much warmer that along with your heater you will be toasty.

any one out there buy any new ice fishing equipment this year? i myself am really thinking of getting an ARGO so that i can access some more lakes. but allready i have bought 2 new poles all new line for all my poles and tip ups and i have got about 10 new jigs. along with a propane tank for my heat...

now that is priceless!!!!!!!!!!! you are a true die hard.

it lookes like a great pile of perch and a perfect start to lunch.

thanks for the great laugh and good luck on your quest for the one.

thats what im talking about some die hards who cant get enough of the ice. well we are now only about 4 minths until early ice up high so bring it on. i heard that this year is going to be a colder year than last year so if that comes tru we should have better ice all over the place. every day i get...

COME ON i cant believe you guys and the no ice thinking. its great :scratch: As long as you forget the fact that its cold, hard to catch fish, freezing water, no girls in swim suits, hard to find lakes that freeze over, oh ya did i mention its cold. But other than that its great and truthfully i cat...

This weekend i was sitting around the house, just mowed the lawn and figured it would be a great time to break out all the ice fishing gear and clean it up again and charge all the batteries. I must really have the ice fishing bug to be doing this on one of the only nice days around here we have had...

its that time of the year that i hate, i hate to see all the ice going away and well to tell you the truth cant wait until next year. but as normall it is time to clean the gear and put it up for the season and get ready for some high mountain lake fishing. anyone have a good ice fishing season? and...

thanks Big D except my office has a filter cant view streaming video on the computer so all i can view is the lake picture, i see it has ice but lookes very very grey. i was there about 3 weeks ago and the ice was ok but going south fast with about 7 inches of ice (black) covered by 8 or so inches o...

has anyone been to the lake within 4 days and if so what is the ice like i think this is close to the last weekend but i dont want to drive all the way over if the ice is bad. i tryed the cove but no answer on the phone so you are my only hope. please post if you know anything.

it was 7 inches of really good black ice covered by about 8 inches of white ice or stratified ice i would say it was marginal i did not have a issue with it and i feel safe to say it should be fishable for at least another 3 weeks unless it gets 80 over there. but today it was again cold for the mor...
