Northwest Fishing Reports

That would be why ;). Rockport has lots of hatchery

Run of skagit wild coho was upgraded from 8900 to over 60,000. A similar number will come out for snoho system Soon as well! Maybe wdfw will learn to not make just extreme rule changes and closures based on "forecasts" (educated guesses). Now get out and fish. Theres more coho than pinks :) Fished ...

You have to love the NO BAIT RULE... I QUOTE BAIT PROHIBITED....... Honestly as well the overwhelming majority of Skagit Coho are natives, In the past 10 years of so I have not seen a hatchery fish, though I know a few trickle into Marblemount. So the effective limit is 2 Thats cause your fishing l...

For those doubting... Straight from the mouth of the hatchery managers.... Go ahead and look back to see if you can find a year in history wallace had 5000 coho sept 22... This is why we are fighting

To tell you the truth im just thrilled our coho were able to find a way to be healthy in warmer ocean conditions and return in such an incredible number. Great for our future in puget sound.... Shows you that preseason forecasts are nothing more than educated guesses... Pretty pathetic we base seaso...

Talked with cascade river hatchery today... The met escapement on this last rain... Haha. He sent me a video of thousands of coho near the hatchery and in the creek below the tank... Told ya. Wdfw would already know if they had done the test nets they said they were going to do... They did not test...

wont it be illegal to fish without hooks: does the terminal gear matter if the river is completely closed to fishing? Nope. Its not fishing without hooks. Just casting. Again this has happened before. Take occupy skagit for example. The river is closed to all fishing in april but steelheaders go up...

I just heard about this from a co worker. Are you sure its legal?

Yes. As long as no hooks are used. This is the same method they use at "occupy skagit" every spring to fight for steelhead fisheries... It has happened before and been legal

dj2loud.... I never said the guys catching coho on samish were actually getting them to bite... Haha!!!! Yea the normal samish snaggers were complaining about wild cohos when i walked down to look. And yes. Southfork is WAS really low... If you hike, to deep water there were hundreds. Now with this ...

The_Chemist.... Unfortunately we have done much much more research into this than you may think. First off... The recent hatchery escapement reports you mentioned were done 2 days before the very first solid rain we have had this entire fall. You simply cannot even come close to estimating run size ...

Right here is a great opportunity to make a stand and be part of something for our fishing in Washington. The pre-season estimates for low coho returns were extremely incorrect for 2016. Simple as that. To put pressure on WDFW to reopen our systems for fall coho fishing in a timely manner...We are d...

It all depends brother. There will be somewhere! Grays harbor has salmon fishing and a few short coastal opportunities as well. Ill go where i have too haha. Its not ideal but it is what it is. Im just happy to see all these coho. The coast is already seeing giant waves of fish. Queets mouth on trib...

Its gonna happen! Haha wonderful right

Hey Northwest Fishing Reports crew! Its been a bit for me. Busy winter steelhead season followed by a busy summer in Alaska, and now in the ocean every day. Its been a grind! Just wanted to touch base with everyone about our upcoming fall salmon seasons Yes, we have major closures up and down the Co...

I was guessing from that era, Aldous Huxley came to mind but I knew it wasn't his voice. Have you ever by chance read Alan Watts book titled "The Book"? If you like what he had to say in this narration you may find that book to be pretty amazing also. Thats awesome! Ive listened to quite a few, but...

Can I share it over on our Facebook page?

No problem mike. Go ahead! Narrator is Alan Watts

A few clips from our winter so far with a good message for everyone to think about
