Northwest Fishing Reports

Woohoo! Good on WDFW for making the change.

Good discussion here. I only fish for surf perch in the fall/winter after they give birth. So this action killed the fishery for me. I have a call and e-mail into WDFW... hopefully something can be done to reclassify them. The 188-page report I believe the decision is based off of does not take surf...

oh! well in that case, it should be good!!

I drove over 1-90 to get to Potholes last weekend. There were a few people out on it, but a lot of open water (about half). I personally wouldn't have gone out on it, and temps have been warmer since.

Fished Lind Coulee this weekend-- ice was GREAT! 8-11 inches in most places. But warmer weather is coming back. Saw a few people out of Moses Lake from I-90, but looked pretty thin.

I had planned to go to Bead Lake this weekend, but it's thawing (like everywhere else). I called Pend Oreille Valley Sportsman and they said some people were fishing in the bay last weekend, which still had 3-5 inches of ice-- but due to the unseasonal warmth would not set foot on whatever ice might...

First ever time I went ice fishing was on North Elton ponds-- December 2006 if memory serves... At any rate I caught a few pumpkinseeds around the shoreline, none of size though.

Really enjoyed the video-- very informative! I can't bring myself to pay the extra couple of bucks for the two pole endorsement, but it certainly WELL worth the price on Potholes!

thanks Quad and I completely agree!!

thanks a ton Toni! Glad you did well at Sekiu!!

Hiya! This was suppose to be something of a 101. I'm not the greatest instructor, nor did I get the perfect footage-- but the scenery is nice and that's something!

Cool video promo! I've gotta get me some Wannafish A Lure twitchin' jigs!

Very cool video! Nice WL.com triple team-up too!

Awesome video OneShot! A huge congratulations to your son-- a day he'll always remember!

Thanks a ton everyone!

really cool vid!! I was fishing Swofford Pond at night (Lewis County) last month and noticed a ton of bull frogs. A guy could catch several just along the shoreline. And hey, on the westcoast they're invasive and outcompete our native frogs, so put 'em on all on crutches I say! Where's Doc Hopper wh...

Nothing to write home to Mom about, but they are pretty fish! Also a little footage from Sekiu in there. I shot and edited this on the 31st of July. Just barely kept my self-imposed video-a-month pledge!

Very entertaining video! That's a great back to back!!!

Fun entertaining videos! I really like your boat setup. I've seen it before, but that angle really spoke to me. Nice underwater footage too! Even manky kids spashing around. Admittedly, I have no idea what manky means.

Nicely shot lake profile video!Good voice over info too! I've only been to Cushman a couple of times, but I think the 8-9 inchers are the norm. Good to know htere are some big ones in there though...
