Northwest Fishing Reports

super stoked! I've been watching the weather every day hoping for 3-4 days of warm weather so I can get out there. Thinkin about hitting my fave lake out in monroe this weekend. Good luck on LW.

my thoughts exactly.

sweet thanks for the advice!

so all I do is add any plastic to the hook? I was looking online and some of the pigs had little plastic/metal pieces sticking out of them, that looked like they were supposed to hook somewhere or wrap around the jig hook.

Be ready for as many techniques as you can, from the drop shot to the jig n pig. Fishing can be tough this time for me because I am shorebound, but since you have a boat, you maximize your odds by having as many options at your disposal. Bring them all!!!:cheers: I've never jig n piged before. Does...

lol pretty much opposite of conventional thought, but thats what I'm actually gonna try this weekend.

Interesting, I was thinking total opposite like you mentioned. Maybe I'll give it a try if nothing else works.

So I'm going to be out trying my luck on a small 9-10 acre lake this weekend. Depth is 20 ft max, but I doubt it even gets that deep, probably more around 15ft. We'll be in my little rowboat. Any tips on how to catch pre-spring bass? I'm leaning towards drop-shoting, but if anyone has better ideas I...

sweet! i'm gonna head out there next weekend then. Thanks guys:cheers:

Anyone know if fish lake (up by lake wenatchee, leavenworth) is safe for ice fishing? i heard a couple months back that it wasnt. then heard some reports of people doing alright.

i'm really at a loss of words here.

i posted this same question a while back. the reply was that there are sturgeon there. havent been able to make the trip yet though. check it out and post a report after you've gone.

my dream ever since i was little was to catch a Tarpon on fly. Thats why i became a fisherman. Also bonefish on fly. Golden dorado is on the list. peacock bass from the amazon and last would be mahi mahi, for the dinner plate.

yeah when i was little other kids would sleep in on saturdays and watch saturday morning cartoons. me i would get up at 5:00 am so i could watch the fishing shows on espn outdoors :colors: my favorite was walker's cay chronicles. ever since i've wanted to be a guide in the tropics. hopefully one day.

so i have a little 10ft fiberglass boat. kind of like a columbia. anyways i've been trying to come up with a way to add some wheels to it to make it easier to transport. kind of like the dingy dolly. anyone ever done this? any advise?

This helps to keep the geoduck from digging down sideways and out of reach. fishnislife no to be a stickler :-&, but its actually a myth that geoducks can move or dig. They actually lay in the same spot digging down few inches a year. Their syphon is 2-3 feet long and that is what sticks up. when t...

i'm down for a group hike in camp!

Waverly is a great place. that 10 foot boat can work. you can make an ancher out of cement with an a milk carton. Mark the rope every 10 feet so you can tell how deep the water is. Move around and try a few spots till you find fish and start catching them...north of magnuson is good too hey thanks ...

i haven't been geoducking in a couple years as the populations haven't been as good. we use to go up to blaine (the beach right on the border), chuckanut bay (in bellingham), and dosewallips state park (in hood canal). you can use regular shovels or a clam shovel. i've never used a clam gun when geo...

hey thanks for all the great info guys. i've been sick the last couple days so havent' signed on. i'll definately read up on everything and go on a couple trips first. you guys did open up my eyes to things i had not thought of before. my dream is to own a little bed and breakfast resort in costa ri...

how does one become a fishing guide? i've never been fishing with a guide before, but have always dreamt of becoming one. i know i dont have the knowledge and skill right now, but i'm willing to learn. anyone know where i can start?
