Northwest Fishing Reports

Hi Guys, I wonder if you can help me? Was a guy by the name of Bill "Goathead" Hughes a well known angler or countryman in the US? I have come across some of his work and I know nothing about the man.

i've caught koi that big (they look like basketballs when spawning) out of three lakes in malaga back in 79-81. there are still some in there but the locals have the lake all to them selves unless you know someone that lives in the area to give you permission to fish it. there is really good carp p...

chevin, that's a pretty fish. what kinda carp is it? I believe that it is a koi carp. They have been introduced to some of the storm water drains to control the mosquitoe population. They fight well and take most of the baits that any other carp will take. I don't know how big they go, but I estima...

Behind my house, HUGE carp bed, with an honest 200+ fish making the area home in the summer. They are constantly cruising around, visible at night as they lay on the surface sucking stuff down, and during the day you can seem them mulling around.

Are the crabs there Dungeness crabs? I am quite partial to a feed of them too. Are the chinook fresh run from the ocean at...

I really dont know where Rochester is The ice in Bud Ice means more alcohol than regular Bud. Got ta love Bud Ice lol Hi Mate, Thanks for that, I believe Rochester is close to both Centralia and Olympia. The fish you mention sound interesting and I will be doing some research on them. Perhaps that ...

Hi guys, that is the kind of information that will be very useful to me. I don't know about a boat as yet, I am hoping that it will be possible to hire one on a daily basis. I believe that on a number of the lakes in the area it is very difficult to get near the water from the bank - is that right? ...

Hi Guys, I wonder if some of you would be kind enough to give me a bit of help. I aam going to be visiting Rochester in WA for two weks in August and being a very keen angler I want to get into some fishing while I am there. Would any of you be prepared to give me any information on what species I m...
