Northwest Fishing Reports

hello, I am coming to the great community of fishermen (and fisher-women) here on the site looking for some advice on potentially starting a small guide service based on Lake Sammamish and potentially venturing into some local surrounding lakes (maybe Stevens, samish, American, and Cavanaugh). Sadly...

Thank you very much for your input! That is very helpful and informative. College would really only permit me to guide in summer and December. So, perch and such would be a good fishery in the summer months especially for children. December is a hot time for cuts, so I could focus on them then Thank...

Huh. Thanks for the info bodofish. Anyone still guide? Fishing still can be good on the lake. Would a small scale guide service be suitable? I would fish cuts, but also panfish for the kids that come along. I would also maybe guide at Stevens for Kokanee. I would take out private parties only. 1-3 p...

Huh. Thank you for the knowledge and insight sickbayer. I would try to run trips on other lakes as well potentially. I just called the coast guard, and they said Sammamish is not federal water. I would like to do trips for panfish as well. A good trip to keep children interested. Most of the people ...

I didn't know if this was the right forum, but i am interested in taking people (first time anglers to the experienced boat-less anger) out on Lake Sammamish. so my question to the NWFR...

any idea how long the season will last? i am headed up the 16th of this month... can i expect a few fish?

thank you so much. i will check that link out. see you on the water!

hello, i am looking of some new spots along the green river to hit up this season, since it is fast approaching, (been gone all summer and forgot the date it opens exactly.) but i know when i get back in a few weeks, i will be in the heat of the action. I normally fish the river in Tukwilla, behind ...
