Northwest Fishing Reports

Caught this Bass October 8th , fighting freezing fog and nasty conditions ..... My biggest LM of all time... Pics never seem to do it justice.. But it was 7 - 7.5 Lb's.

Been out of the fishing game for a year or two, I was looking forward to Pike fishing this summer, and now I see a lot of drama has happened in the time Ive been gone... Ironically enough, Ive been involved heavily in politics during that time... sad to see the world effecting us here to.. Part of t...

Ive fished it two dozen times, mostly a few years ago, only stunted LM bass in there. Very few bluegill, and some bull head. It has potential If the owners wanted to manage it , But they don't. So it is what it is.

How come only westside lakes are getting plants?

i like it

Northern Pike Moved To June IFPAG Meeting Agenda. Discussion of the Pend O'Reilles pike fishery has been postponed until the June meeting in Ellensburg so tribal fisheries managers can participate.

Does anyone know what this is in regards to?

Wind is always there unfortunately... Glad to hear you guys caught some fish !

I can only imagine being 12 and catching a fish that big, it would go home, hell for that fact I would probably keep it today. Catch and Release has its place but keeping ONE fish does not hurt the population of that lake, there are probably many more as big if not bigger. The people that take a li...

Wish I could make it, maybe next year.

Hmmm.... I have only fished a senko like 3 times, and never caught anything on one... SO its hilarious to think people are using a senko as a crutch? Drop shotting to me is just something i would use during the warmer part of the day to target suspending bass, not as a crutch at all... Dont really u...

Ill be hitting the Upper Columbia this weekend from Northport to the Canadian border, hope to see you all up there ! :-)

Yeah Im confused? Whats wrong with D-Shoting? Like I said, I had never used it before this week, But i can clearly see its a valuable tool, whats bad about it?

I think it could be a Green sunfish.. if it was wow, we should have kept it, because this bad boy went close to a pound. I suck at taking pictures, it doesn't do it justice, it was as big , if not bigger than my hand, and i can palm a basketball.. anyone have experience with Green sunfish? Is that w...

Need help in identifying this fish. Doesn't have the dark markings im used to seeing on a blue gill, also, notice the front yellow fin, and the strip of yellow / white on the back fin. Also a strange top fin as well as the gaping mouth... What is this? Just a massive blue gill that's discolored? Is ...

I am not an expert at drop shotting, but I am a bit fond of the technique such that I decided to write a little something on it. http://www.washingtonlakes.com/ReadArticle.aspx?id=260 With regard to baits to use, don't limit yourself to just worms. Just about any lure that can be stuck with a hook ...

My parents have a cabin near Northport on the columbia , its amazing the hatches that occur there at night !! Im not a fly fisherman, but I have seen people catch some amazing fish down there doing it.

hopefully they actually start checking people fishing with two poles to see if they have the endorsement....

Tagwatson360 hit the nail on the head. Its the fisherman keeping the "trophy" fish that get C&R people heated, including myself. For all the reasons Tag already said, It takes to long for a fish like that to grow to be eaten, when theres tons of smaller bass and millions of perch to be had. I know s...
