Northwest Fishing Reports

It is blue.
We also did try the unit two times while on the lake Saturday so it should have had plenty of time to cool down (per one person's suggestion).

The winter of 2012 and this past 2013 winter we entered our garage to hear a squealing. Turns out it was the Lowrance X102 depth sounder. For some reason it had turned itself on and was just screaming and the screen was flashing like it was trying to acquire a stable picture. We unplugged its power ...

Here is the definitive answer taken from my email correspondence with WDFW: Karen, it is illegal to fish for any Game Fish in freshwater with live fish as bait in Washington State, but this does not include critters such as worms, leeches, crawfish, salamanders, crickets, grasshoppers, and other (no...
