Northwest Fishing Reports

we only caught 1 bow that day and let it go without touching it (wasnt sure if it was safe). but we went out the next week and overheard fishermen say how they were filled with snails. but no, we didnt keep the pink one and check out the insides

no, but i watched an episode of hawg quest with them fishing that river. it did look really fun with lots of action. google big k ranch on the upqua and there is some info on there about the smallie fishing. i think they avg 50 fish a day with highs of 100. plus there are salmon, steelhead and other...

wondering if anyone has ever caught a fluorescent pink bow before. was out at clear lake in pierce cty and my friend reeled in a bow that had a bright pink hue to the entire thing. it was most noticable on its white belly. it is hard to describe, but it literally looked like it had been painted ligh...

just got back yesterday and wish I could have stayed longer. You're right, the weather was amazing (90's on saturday and high 80s on sun). I only had time to fish from about 930am-12pm sat morning. I ended up going to the pond that WCCT wrote about. Didn't have the time to try other ponds around the...

thanks everyone, I will be leaving in the morning. Will report back when I get back after the weekend.

Mineral and Silver for browns. Im talking about Silver Lake that is off of Hwy 7 (pacific hwy) that goes from Spanaway to Mt Rainier.

its at walla walla park right next to confluence park I believe. We'll be playing at the Raider Rumble and Im on a team called the Repeat Offenderz (D). We played in E and E+ last year and have been in U-trip the past few years after starting off in NSA. Geoff, Ill prob just fish the Rock Island pon...

moses would be a bit far. with a softball tourney going on, we prob only have a few hrs in between games to fish. we went to moses last year for a tournament (softball, not fishing) and fished there. man, we were skunked. couldnt move the boat without running into some carp, but no luck with bass. t...

awesome, thanks. I followed your directions on a map and I think I know what you are talking about. Did you use senkos, rapalas, spinnerbaits, or what? Are they just all over the pond?

i just google earthed the area and saw a series of ponds next to each other in town just North of the main road and river. Is that what you are talking about? Are those ponds accessible to the public? Will it take boats?

Any idea how to get to these ponds near Rock Island? You are talking about the town of Rock Island right? Just outside of Wenatchee? Are they all public ponds/lakes? Electric motor and boats OK? It will be around 90deg this weekend when Im there, should be great.

I went to Wenatchee last year and couldn't find any places to fish for bass. Ended up on the bank of a random part of the Columbia and ended up with countless whitefish (or something), but no bass. Anyone have a place they know of nearby, within 30 mins? I saw some photos of bass at Big Bow Lake nea...

I got some cool looking flies for Christmas that someone saw at a garage sale. I don't know how to fly fish, nor do I have the time and money to invest in learning. Are there ways I can still use the flies to go for trout without using fly fishing setups?

wow, i heard stories from my fishing partner about this hobbs guy. we pass his home everytime we go to fish at clear lake (in graham/eatonville). he tells me his son and hobbs were good friends in high school and fished together. most of the time we pass his house at 6am and his boat isn't there.

thanks, never knew that. what is the march 1st opener about? is that eastside lakes?

I cant find the 08 season opener date online. It's different every year, right? What is it for 2008?

in case anyone was interested, i ended up fishing only in osborne bay which is right before you get to electric city. fished off the rocks along the road and caught 3 SMB none larger than 10" and my first 2 ever walleye (1 about 9 " and the other about 13"). 4 caught on a silver shad crank and the o...

thanks danielt. i will look for coulee playland. prob try out some parts along the shore that are visible from the road. i noticed last year that the road i take goes right by steamboat island so i thought id pull over there and fish. dont worry about C&R for me. i have to catch something before i p...

2 powereggs plus a piece of nightcrawler on the tip. egg color is a mix of pink, yellow and orange. another good combo for me is 3 maggots, a poweregg and tipped with a kernel of corn. that knocks the kokes out

Any good spots on banks lake (near steamboat island, electric city, sun banks resort) that are good for shore fishing? Can you pretty much stop at any spot and walk down to fish legally? any, and i mean ANY input or advice would be greatly appreciated. I leave tomorrow morning around 830am (friday)....
