Northwest Fishing Reports

That sign has been there for years. If I remember right it runs from Fathers Day(June)until Labor Day (September) the dock is closed to fishing from 10:00 AM until 8:00 PM to give the swimmers a chance to enjoy the dock.

You can run a gas motor on Angle but there is a 8 Mph. speed limit.

Has anyone fished Angle Lake this year? It was planted last week and weather permitting Sunday I'm going to take my boat out and see if the Kokanee are biting yet.

If you check the WDFG planter reports they put 6000 in Green Lake this week. As far as eating they are not in the lake that long and I have had them and fried with butter and garlic they are great.

I see this question on setting up basic rigging all the time. The best thing I found is a book by Bill Herzog called Color Guide to Steelhead Drift Fishing. I bought it for my son about 8 years ago when he started drift fishing and it was a great help. Goes over reading water, basic rigging, bait, d...

I don't think it is the cool weather as much as the falling barometer puts the fish off the bite. I have been keeping track of this in my fishing notebook and I do a lot better when the barometer is steady or rising.

No it makes you about as old as me.

Sorry Sam right after I posted the offer on the pontoon a friend called and asked if I still wanted to sell it so he is on the way over to pick it up. I would go for a pontoon over a float tube you are up out of the water and you can get around better with oars then use flippers to hold your positio...

No the rod I got is a single hand rod. I know what you need for a good steelhead rig I have a 4wt. and a 6wt. set up that I fish now. I just thought that the rod and reel bought at the garage sale were cool because they are old and because Sears no longer makes or sells fishing gear anymore and has ...

I went to a garage sale down the street today and picked up a fly rod and reel. On the rod it says Ted Williams tournament model Mod. 335.30472 - 8"-6" 7-8 wt. Sears Roebuck Company rod is fiberglass white with brown and orange wrapping rod is a reel whip. The reel is stamped Ted Williams 135 Mod. 3...

I called the WSP about this not to long ago and you can go 3' passed the rear bumper without a flag after that you have to have a flag on your load. And the max you can go is 12' passed the center of the of rear axle.

It will also void your warranty.

Look in the adds in Sunday's paper there is a flier for Joe's and they have a clamp on sale for just this application.

Make sure you check your reg's the Green does not open for Salmon till the 1st of Sept. Page 45 in the reg. book. And then it's only from the I-5 Bridge down stream to the 1st Ave. Bridge. Different parts of the Green open at different times for Salmon. So get a copy of the reg's and read them there...

Lake Garrett better known as Hick's Lake don't ask me why. I have lived in this area all my life and that's what we all called it didn't know it had any other name. Back to your question about fishing it up till about 15 years ago it was so polluted that they had it roped off to keep folk's away fro...

Go check out GI Joe's they are having there big tent sale this week. They have a 8' on sale for 150.00 comes with oars and pump. I have one like it and have used it for 3 years with no trouble. Just remember that the small ones like this are not river rated and always wear a life jacket.

Check out the add from Joe's in todays paper they have the Pontoon boat thet I have on sale for 179.00. and you can get by with hip waders.

Stay away from the Green River this fall after the Pinks and chums are in they are expecting 900'000 pinks in the Green this year. Some times fish are left high and dry after high and dry after high water. And some fishermen are just slobs leave bait containers and and tackle wrapers laying on the s...

Has anyone fished this lake this year. I have not seen any reports on it on any of the web sites that I look at.
