Northwest Fishing Reports

Not that I wish my failures in salmon fishing on others,....but it does make me feel abit better that despite my 40 years of trying to catch A salmon, to no avail, it is not just me that isnt having any luck. I too sat on the banks of the duwamish river, getting flipped off, and nearly wetted by the...

Thanks for the recommendation. We are looking into a 2003 jetcraft right now. We are waiting on the seller to get a marine survey so the bank will buy off on it. That hughes craft is just like what we are looking at. Very nice. I cant wait to get a boat in the driveway and get busy about fishing thi...

I'm a disabled, and retired veteran who's looking for an aluminum fishing boat to take my family out fishing. Looking for something around 18 to 20 foot long. We are looking for a boat around the 10 to 20k range in good condition. We're in the seattle area.
Shoot me a message with photos. Thanks.

the everson bridge was a bust as well last night. Not even bites from small fish.

I think they are salmon smolts. I have been catching them as well. They were jumping everywhere too I have been catching small coho smolts, but these are new. They look like the whitefish in the picture. All are about the same size, and they fight like hell for their size. Fun, but not what Im fish...

below the everson bridge

That picture looks just like what I was catching. Plus tons of rainbows. I saw one gorgeous sized salmon. Pissed or spooked it away.

Well the salmon are in the nooksack!
Question, I was catching lots of small 6" rainbows, however I caught a couple silver fish that had no markings, and look like a 6" sardine. "They are completely silver, and with a forked tail. Any ideas on what these are?

It looks like this is what I bought from wal mart. http://www.pautzke.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/blog2-IMG_0029.jpg However mine is more amber to brown in color like the second red pack shown here, and thick as bees wax. The fish seem to strip it off the hook quite quickly, so they must like it...

OK thanks. I saw the red gate about 100 yards away from the white gate on the corner of Noon and Abbott rd.
I saw lots of Quad tracks, but the big gate had "No Trespassing" on it. So I wanted to be sure.

I'm on the nooksack DAILY.... Every morning everyday when open... However I've been hitting the Samish this past week.... Fish is slow, and sparse until we get some rains... If anyone is out and about, Im all for having a partner for a few hours--- 240-472-3065 Arthur..... I was out there tonight b...

Does anyone know anything about the noon rd access point? https://onedrive.live.com/?id=root&cid=D6DA027F54CBB4D2 If this photo embedding works, there three really nice looking areas there. But despite there being quad tracks everywhere there. There is a No Trespassing painted on the red gate just p...

Bumped for update.
Fish are in at Everson. Tails black backs sticking out of the water, even a fish swam up and looked at me. LOL
FINALLY! Some fish!!! No biters, but the fish are being seen now!

I looked it up on the WDFW site, and I cannot find any schedules for the Lummi tribe, or the Nooksack. I called the Region 4 WDFW contact information center. They stated the Lummi Indian tribe does not share with them the netting schedules. However, I/we are free to contact the Lummi tribe directly ...

Very cool! Ill be out tonight probably between 5 and 7pm. I usually fish upriver from the bridge. Tonight I may fish below. I know where some good sized coho are holding up right now. I may grab some roe to see if I can get them to bite.

Ha! yesterday I saw several small fish jumping about. Figured they were trout, but yes at least you are catching something! I was out at yesterday at the Everson bridge and saw the small fish jumping everywhere. Decided to throw a rooster tail since the salmon weren't around, and they ended up bein...

Well, the fry are biting. I hooked into 4 or 5 4" coho fry tonight. Its something,...

And this is a video of Salmon caught in Oregon this season. Its a great example of the average size Im used to compared to what Ive been seeing here in WA.

Natives and commercial guys are netting the **** out of the system, don't let anyone tell you other wise. Danny, myself and a few others are witness to last years 97 days straight of netting, this year is no different.... I'm on the nooksack all the time, not only the north and south fork but the m...

Hey everyone, Im presuming for most this lake is out of reach for an evening fish, but with its top notch camp ground, cabins, and rental boats, a weekend would be a great trip. http://www.whatcomcounty.us/1937/Silver-Lake-Park" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishin...

I know most of us are courteous boaters, however, this should go without saying... Please if possible, slow down around those of us not blessed with a boat, fishing from shore. I know we all want to get up there and get our gear in the water, but come on. I have had my line driven over, waked off of...
