Northwest Fishing Reports

I was wondering if anyone has been there or in the area this summer.I was thinking of going up there ,but when I looked at the Forest Service website it is no longer listed.Curious if the heavy rains a couple of years ago wiped out the road.
Thank You, Mike

Hi Stacie, I was wondering if you have any information on whether Council Lake in Skamania County is open for fishing. I looked at the website for Gifford Pinchot National Forest and it is no longer listed in their lake section.
Thank You, Mike.

Go to pure-gas.org. They have a list of stations in the US & Canada that may still be carrying ethanol free gas. I would suggest contacting any station first before going.

Lake Garret AKA Hicks Lake used to be planted with trout until the late eighties with a few hundred trout planted a couple of times each year.Last time I fished there was early 80's and at that time the lake contained trout,sunfish,bass and the mighty fighting goldfish.The lake is fed by a few ponds...

How much is he looking to get for it? Mike.

There is a reason the state needs a flat surface on the front of curvy vehicles. Certain agencies need that flat surface for reliable feedback for collecting revenue.

Just went through this with my 30hp 4 stroke mercury.I had to clean the carbs , drain the float bowls which had some goo in them, cause- bad gas,common reason nowadays-ethanol,I let it go too long.I now take care to make sure I do not buy more gas than I will use in 6-8 weeks(even though I do use St...

According to King County boating regulations fact sheet,Lake Desire does not allow gas motors,but they do allow electric motors.

I guess what I meant is that its up to the fisherperson whether or not they catch the fish such as tying bad knots ,trying to bully the fish on too light of line test, trying to set the hook too early......
You could tie some string to your finger to catch fish if you want and still screw it up.

If you are wondering if you can use the spinning reel on your flyrod than the answer is yes.It is an odd feeling not having a butt end of the pole behind the reel and takes getting used to. As for whether the 5/6 flyrod can handle triploids,well yes it can ,but it is always up to the person controli...

Have you tried Shoo Goo.It is a pliable epoxy/glue (I think) that you use to repair soles of shoes .

Maybe someone should invent a way to use an exploding dye pack like they use for bankrobbers.
Catch them redhanded.

If you want a freaky scary scene,go fish off Bill Gates's dock and get the staredown from the armed guards politely asking you to vacate the area now.

Ross Lake Resort, awesome scenery,seclusion,native trout,they even have a water taxi if you want to remote camp.

Metsker Maps are also great for finding places. If you learn to look for the range and township markers it pinpoints where you are.They are those 3-4 ft white posts you see when driving backroads. they are used to mark the corners of a grid 1 mile by 1 mile( the squares you see on a map) T-tonwnship...

Hey Rob, are you still heading up to lk chelan at the end of the month? If so,try to find a copy of this book,Graybill's Guide To Lake Chelan by Rick Graybill published back in the 90's.This was to go to guide on fishing the lake . He innovated a lot of techniques on catching fish especially the lan...

I was wondering if anyone out there has/knows of some info at Farewell Harbour on Berry Island in the Broughton Archipelago Marine Park , Blackfish Sound. I won a trip there at the end of Aug. and have never fished up in that area.The lodge is about a 20 min. boat ride out of Telegraph Cove. Just pi...

Yea ,I do not really care for it either,too acidic for me,but the frappucinos are tasty but now Tully's makes a version so I can buy them instead for a treat.As far as the Sonics go,#1 enemy to the team was IMO wally walker.Bad deals ,trades,advice and the fact he brokered the deal to bennet & boys ...
