Hoping for a swimbait bite I checked over the WFWD trout stocking schedule for Snohomish and Skagit Counties. When I found out that Grandy had been stocked just a couple days before that's where I de...

Launched at 9:00AM, after some boat/trailer shenanigans around a bank fisherman who planted his chair on the side of the small unimproved ramp, and left his car blocking over 1/2 of what little ramp i...

Started out to be a decent overcast day for our first trip to Big Lake. First came the wind 13-15, gusting to 20 mph. Then came the rain. We lasted about 3 hours by picking "quiet" water where we coul...

Got out to Goodwin for the first time this year. Wx was sunny, but a little windy. We put in about 5 hours trying different areas and techniques and ended up with two small Smallies--one on a hula gru...

This started out to be a LMB trip to a small local lake in Phoenix. The plan was to toss big baits early--before sunrise. I took the worm rod also incase big baits were a total bust. Only landed one s...

Nothin' happening today. Water level was about 2' above the lily pads and temps had cooled off quite a bit. We fished dead stick, very slow, slow, medium and fast. We tossed everything from weightles...

Nada. Only had a short period to fish today, but headed to Goodwin since the wx was good. We concentrated on a couple areas that usually produce a bite or two and hit them with our usual weapons of ch...

We launched at Wenberg Park at about 1:00PM. An absolutely perfect Fall day on Lake Goodwin! Partly cloudy with occasional sun, leaves turning on the trees around the lake and NO WIND! The fishing lef...

Another tough day, but we may have found one of the reasons. We hit Beaver at about 9 AM in the fog. Very calm and beautiful morning with the sun shining through the fog. Once we got enough light we n...

We started at the ramp and worked our way around the South end of the lake, then North along the East shore. The wind was fairly brisk from the East. It started out very slow--only one dink for the fi...

Nothin' worked today. Wind came up quite a bit, but we were still able to fish the areas we wanted to...we just couldn't make anything work. Spent 3-4 hours trying all our standbys, plus a few more te...

Pretty tough day, but with the first fish within 10 minutes right at 3.35#, and the last fish in the last 10 minutes at 2.88# it was a pretty good day! Only one dink caught between those too. The bigg...

Nice day out there today. Very sunny, but the ever present breeze on Grandy kept it cool. My son and I worked our way around the lake and ended up in the pads on the east end. That's were we found som...

With the promise of a front coming through and possibly some rain we headed to Beaver to see if some of the big ones were stirring. We fished from 7:00AM until noon in what was at times a near torrent...

Still learning the crappie game, but made some progress last night. Took the tips from a couple of NWFR members and managed to hook up to about 1/2 dozen crappies between my son and I. Several in the ...

Nice overcast afternoon with very little wind. Near perfect day on the lake, except for the fact that the bass didn't get the memo. Started on the South end and ended up circling the entire lake. Stuf...

Pretty tough evening. Pretty substantial wind blowing most of the time we were out. Headed to the North end which was the upwind end of the lake. Nothing doing for the two of us tossing a bit of every...

Spent a couple hours at Goodwin this morning. First thing I noticed is that Wenberg Park raised the launch fee from $7 to $10. Didn't mark any fish and didn't get any action at all. Wx was pretty goo...
