Northwest Fishing Reports

If you are a shore bound fishermen I would recommend hitting the piers and beaches and doing a little bottom fishing for Flounder and Sole. With a daily limit of 15 fish and some getting pretty big it can make for a good day. Plus, they are tasty! Then starting in the late summer our salmon start sh...

The 10th in booked! Thanks Dave!

Good morning everyone! A lot of people have been asking about Chelan and I had a few days open up. I currently have April 10th-12th open and also the 15th and 16th. The Kokanee are starting to show up in really good numbers and fishing is gonna be hot!

Welcome aboard Sam! Guys even if you have your own boat, but want to learn the Lake, I would jump on one of these trips! Very informative and you can learn to maximize your time on the water with what works!

Ive got a hammer, some duct tape, and a couple zip ties. Just kiding. I keep a full socket set deep well. Flat head and phillips screw driver, pliers, vise grips, cresent wrench, spare hose for the heat exchanger (they will pop and they fill the boat up fast) Spare plugs for both motors. Various fus...

I gotta get one....

Thats a visibly clipped fin. BONK

My kind of research!

This is gonna be way cool for some of the members who never upgraded. And that new logo is killer!

I just booked up March 20th but I still have a lot of days open!

Email from Mick FYI - The Alum treatment will begin on Monday morning (9th March) around 7-8 AM. The full application is expected to be completed by Wednesday evening. Mailers have been sent out to residents around the lake, a press release was issued, and notification signs are being posted at publ...

Check out the SST-C-1002H. Its a 10' heavy duty rod designed for plunking and throwing heavy lead. And they are in the $80-100 range.

Two Scotty manual Downriggers for sale. The one on the left is a almost brand new 1085 30" Strongarm with an upgraded Powerlock rod holder. The One on the right is a 1090 Longarm with the telescoping boom and the better rod holder. It is also spooled with 500' of cable for those days when you really...

If you are trolling for Kokanee and trout look into spooling your reel with a lead line. Gets you down there without the hastle of losing a fish due to a weight on the line. You can catch most Kokanee in the upper 30' of the water column until Late May, Lead line has no problems running that deep. J...

hope I will not have to look for an alternate fishery. If current practices weren't changed, we all were going to be looking for somewhere else to fish. What I need is a round table with everyone who knows about this lake and we need to draft a plan and present it to Lake Stevens. WDFW is already w...

I do agree with the later treatment being the better option but it would really mess with the Late Spring/Early Summer fry plants. The Lake is almost in a full bloom right now. Chlorophyll levels are matching that of almost Late April last year. High oxygen levels and high external loading should al...

Update from Lake Stevens The treatments are going to take place March 9th- 13th. Also WDFW has moved the stocking date of the Kokanee smolt's back a few weeks till mid June. That will allow food production to be very high and the little guys should be fat and happy. I am also working with a biologis...

For this months newsletter I want to just focus on the basics of trolling for Kokanee. Time of the year, water depth, weather, lures, and bait/scent all play a huge roll in having a successful day in the water. You can have the right lure but if you aren't fishing were the fish are then its gonna be...

Biggest fish, most weight, mystery fish, smallest Kokanee, biggest Laker, and biggest Rainbow. We also had a few side bets going on last year and a East Vs West Trophy...
