Northwest Fishing Reports

I was hoping someone know the answer weather or not fires are allowed yet in the rings at the potholes state park or not? I am having a hard time finding the answer. I can not get ahold of anyone at the park either. Thanks for looking. I am heading over this weekend regarless for the smallie action ...

Does any one know if the launch past tum tum is open? You know the one once you enter the park(witch I can not remember who operates it) you head down the big hill over looking the water to the launch. I do believe there is a fee there too. I like this lake but that is the only launch I am comfortab...

Well heck, the lake is big enough I am sure, I will be arriving around day break, so what launch will be less used by the pros by the bowl? Or is it a just in my best judgement to stay off the water. I have a 14 bass boat with enough experience to be out. I have been out a lot on the potholes while ...

man thanks for all the good info, that is sure a lot of info to take in, but sounds like everywhere that is good fishing. I am not sure this weekend is a good one to be out in the water huh> I am not worried about the fishing space really just the launching and loading. Seems like there will be a li...

Well I am a vergin to banks and will be targeting smallies early sat. morning. I am hoping for any feedback like as where I should launch the boat(fee etc.) and maybe a location if possible.( general area whatever)lures are always good advice too 8-[ I am even up for some wally fishing too as I am l...

So I launched at the site past willow bay which is open form I think it said 6 30am till dusk with the camp host closing the gate but he checks the lot first. Anyhow it is open to the public and is $7 but is at the end of the lake and I did not really like the fishing there. Boat I think that there ...

thanks once again for the help but where is the old launch that you are talking about? is it past tum tum? not the willow bay one right? I heard that the willow bay one is open to the pubic now? I remember it used to be members only. Any how I am still thinking about heading out early in the morning...

o awesome for the info, I have read a lot of your older reports from there. I am talking about the launch where you go down the big hill to the lake. I never heard of a launch fee there before. That is strange. I wonder if she still keeps the gate unlocked???? Well as far as the fishing goes, how de...

Well I want to launch at the dnr site early at sun rise but not sure what time the camp hosts open the gates? Does anyone know? I know the close them right a dark! Thanks for any info on the topic, any fishing tips on the area would be appreciated also. Thanks everyone.

Hey hewesbob, thanks for the reply. I am familiar with downs, I really like that lake. My picture shown on the side is from there on a spinner bait in mid. april I believe. I would have to say it is about a month early for the bassing or am I wrong? seems as if the ice has just cleared. I do know ab...

I just bought my first boat with a trailer and want to launch and retrieve it at a nice launch (not a rock, where I want to go). So I am really excited to get out there and try it out, but of course I will be itchin for some fishin as well. I have only fished the lake from the shore, so what is my b...

Ya, cerious if anyone can let me know the conditions at hog canyon recently? I was thinking about going there this weekend? Thanks for reading

Ya, I know where the Quincy lakes are. I am really hoping to find areas close to home but I am starting to realize that may be hard in less I know someone with land or else it will be a weekend trip. Makes it much harder being that I have 3 kids under 5 years old. lol. So maybe fishing is going to b...

wow, that is a small deer. Must be a black tail. I have only shot black tail as a kid but they were bigger then that. I would love to go there and get a few but that is just not doable for me here in the Spokane county area. I am also thinking that a hunting trip will probably consist of a entire we...

Alright. Thanks guys. That is good info. I will start doing some homework. My in laws live in spangle so maybe I will talk with him some about it. Thanks again.

Well let me say that I have only hunted black tail on the west side of the state as a teenager. I have lived in Spokane now since 2001 and want to hunt here now. Just looking for a few suggestions of were to start looking for areas to hunt that are not private. In Packwood I could just go to the nat...

Well you can camp at pretty much all the lakes but i would not advise it. You might leave camp and come back with nothing left. Has anyone ever fished north or south teel lakes? They look like good access for my little kids. I would really love to get into some pearch and panfish too. I was thinking...

I am heading over this comming weekend for a family weekend out of town. I am very familiar with the lakes and roads in the area but not the bank fishing with young kids. If you have any tips i would love to hear them. =D> We are staying in the state park and are looking for some easy fishing, not m...

Well that should be easy to see the tress change here in the lilac city of spokane. lol. So jiggy are you saying use those methods under a float or jig them? Stay safe and let the fishing begin.

Wow, that is way more then i was expecting. What a nice fellow fisherman you are. =D> There are not a lot of ppl like this around ya know. Thanks again i will be putting your info to use for many many years to come and i am sure in the gererations to come as well. That info is priceless. Now i will ...
