So I went hiking today to some lakes, but didn't have luck at the lake I fished. Then I fished a pond that was in the area and though it didn't have a lot of fish, they were pretty big and fought hard...

First time at this lake today. Usually you have to get away from the launch to find fish, but I barely saw any in this lake until someone told me trout were right in front of the launch. It appears t...

This lake used to have fish in it, but I didn't see any sign of fish yesterday. WDFW doesn't even have it on their site anymore so I guess they have no plans to stock it which is sad. Lots of people a...

I stopped by this lake around 10 or 11 on my way home Memorial day weekend. I never fished here before, it is a beautiful little lake. The water is pretty clear and clean looking, I wouldn't mind snor...

I have been trying to catch of fish out of this lake for a while. Last year I found a few rainbows but couldn't get them to bite. Today I finally landed a fish there and it was a hog. Right at 7:20 I ...

I went fishing at Rimrock lake a few weeks ago and managed to find an area holding some fish. I think they were about to spawn, they had amazing colors. Caught 4 I think, one was about 16 inches and 1...

I fished Diablo sunday morning. Conditions weren't great, plenty of wind off and on and lots of runoff made the water murky. I managed to land 4 fish plus a fingerling but it took a lot of work to fin...

This lake appears to have no fish in it. I think this is the fourth time I've tried fishing it and didn't see even a hint of fish. I got on the water about 7 am so there should have been fish close to...

I think this lake is seriously overrated. I got on the water by 7:15 and the water feels warm, fish should have been active. I saw a few trout jump and that was it. I only caught one small fish, a roc...

I went out to Black lake this morning near Olympia. I had seen big trout jumping this summer and I was hoping they'd be ready to bite now. Fish were biting, but not the huge ones. I got on the water a...

I have been wanting to try Rimrock in the fall, so yesterday I got up early and made the 3.5 hour drive. Not only is the boat launch closed, but the road leading to it is gated as well, so there's no ...
