Northwest Fishing Reports

Sounds like you are having good luck. Other lakes I have hit that hold bass Wagner Lake in Monroe got 15" out of there, Armstrong Lake in Arlington steep banks got all my fish very close to shore in July and in shade or behind logs, Bryant Lake would be good lake for your Kayak...you have to park al...

It was slow with sun out recently and saw new algae blooms at Clear Lake, Beaver Lake and Lake Cassidy. Fall I tend to do well out from shore on top water minnows...over weed beds if lake has any. Two lakes I have fished in fall catching bass 20-40 ft from shore and can have non stop action until da...

I was living in Arkansas briefly 1997-august 1998...from Everett since 1969 so my best bass here was 19" at Sunday Lake 4lber...figured I would get a.monster living in Arkansas...got 18" on buzzbait from lake dardnelle...found a small lake spring lake in mountains (hills we call them). ...using buzz...

Used to be Lake Lenore in late 80's early 90's...20" trout wasn't uncommon and hit a 26.5" that I had to beach...to big for the trout net. I was wading fishing from shore in North end in November...

I was bassing in May at Clear Lake...got 13" very close to shore 15" by boat launch very, very close to shore...and used that pattern down to south end...got 17" to tie my lake best...then next bass was 18.5" photo would not load...then next b...

I find a lot of bass out deep in fall on my favorite lake...was out tonight casting out to deep water was the pattern...got 23 bass nothing huge 11" but lots of action (probably had 50-100 hits pops, swirls, taps and rolls) 15-30ft in front of the lily pads. I was tossing neon rapala #5 and getting ...

Fall bassin' when you can cast your top water minnow to the middle of the lake instead of toward the lily pads and still catch fish. And an occasional big trout on top water too:) Got one today 13" trout and had another big hit from 2nd trout.

Nice fish!

After spawn the minnow fries are a good place to toss a top water minnow but make it bigger then the fry. I got a 14" at very small lake by noticing a swirl and fry scatter by me. So toss my minnow over there and bam fish on! A countdown minnow can work this time of year as they will be chasing minn...

I have only been there twice this year ever but it is a weed pile if you try to run a minnow, crankbait or anything under the surface. I had good luck with floating minnow and buzzbait there. And swimming jig. If you try and fish plastics use heavy line there as you have to be able to pull the fish ...

Well, I do most of my fishing after work so 4pm-dark so prefer evening less people sometimes and you can count on top water bite before dark. But some lakes you do have to deal with a lot of wind in afternoon.

Well, it was my best one from Lake Cassidy ever...17" then broke it next week 18.5". Both were first fish of the night and right after I got 18.5" got a 17" next cast. All on top water minnow.

There is a big beaver been seeing it a lot this year on north end of the lake and yesterday on side by public dock from Centennial trail...he was been slapping his tail a me quite a bit. Just a guess he is more visible this year.

I have one never used NEW Columbia sportswear Men's Fishing Vest size medium. It has 10 pockets to hold all your fishing gear or photo gear. Yep photographers use them too. Asking $25.00.

Email for photo as it is too large for this site.

I have a used sportcraft II 6 1/2 foot plastic flat bottom boat with two oars. It is in good shape and had inner chamber and drain plug. So it is pretty unskinable. It has been patched a few times over the years as you scrap the bottom of the lake when you come it. It will hold 350lbs and is good bo...
