Northwest Fishing Reports

South end of Banks is ice free

Questions like you are asking might be better asked some place other than a public forum, If state and federal agencies get word of you building a fish pond the permit process could take years to complete. You will have to prove where you are getting the water from to fill your pond and where your r...

Just curious Aaron, if there are no pop up banners in use then what are the advertisements that keep blinking on and off (one on the bottom and one on each side of the page) as I am trying to view a page? If they are not for your adds maybe you could tell me how I can get rid of them. Thanks

Congrats, we love our Hewes Sportsman. We upgraded to the 115 Yamaha and 9.9 Yamaha kicker, I had a steering rod installed so I do all steering is from up front, I also enjoy the Itroll system and the wash down pump. I put side bunks on the trailer it makes loading a breeze even in the wind. Hope yo...

We troll #7 Flicker Shad all the time. We attach it to a swivel on the the main mono line (no leader) set back about 100' -130' and troll about 2-3 mph. With that set back you should be fishing about 12-15 foot deep. Watch your electronics because Sprague lake is only about 19-20 foot deep in the de...

Thanks for the update Phil, I have been on the brink of buying a unit like that for a couple years and your update may have made my decision to buy one when we get home in the spring. Bob

I would rather go back to paying a yearly fee and get rid of all the garbage pop ups. Just my opinion.

Al, hopefully all is well with you and all yours and if you are selling such a great fishing machine that it is just working toward an upgrade. When we get back from Arizona in the spring I would truly enjoy getting together with you folks for a fishing trip.

I am a life long Garmin fan. My current unit is the 741xs and the TM 150 transducer, this unit has served me well for the past 6 years, I just take advantage of the free updates. I did a lot of research before buying the 741 and the one piece of advise I would read over and over was that even if you...

I see this facebook page as being nothing other than a place where folks can hurl insults at each other, degrade tribal fishing and act like total jerks all from the anonymity of the key board. Most folks that engage in forums such as the one you are referring to have no idea there is a difference b...

Sniper308 welcome, this is a fantastic forum of information and just a great place to exchange ideas with like minded folks and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have since I joined in 1999. One thing that popped out at me was your comment that your post "couldn't have been too offensive". This websi...

I live in Coulee City and fish Roosevelt often from the dam to Hansen Harbour, We caught two kokanee last year and none this year. A fish checker I recently talked with said she had not checked a kokanee since March. Rufus Woods Lake is low water and very weedy and hard to fish from Seaton Grove dow...

Ft. Spokane campground

Just a heads up that in the new regs WDFW mistakenly omitted the section of the Spokane River from SR 25 bridge to Little Falls Dam. I emailed them about this and their response was that they will at some point print a correction but until that time as of July 1st. the limits will change to statewid...

It's not just the westside lakes, here in eastern Washington we are seeing similar results. A couple years ago when WDFG stared cutting back on the limits of Salmon and bottom fish in the ocean and closed down rivers for Steelhead I predicted that more and more folks would start fishing inland lakes...

I am pretty well geared up for Stripped Bass at Lake Havasu and I use some of the divers for Walleye in lakes and they have produced well for me. I have found that when water temps rise above 70 degrees Walleye will suspend about mid water column and seem to have similar habit as Stripped Bass in La...

We fished Buffalo Lake yesterday 5-5-18, fishing was slow for us, we ended the day with 4 rainbow in the 2-2 1/2 pound class and two 10" kokanee. We missed some bites and lost a few trout , one was at least 5 pounds. The kokanee had a few lice behind the fins. We were fishing the top 15 ft. of water...

Hi Kieth, as long as the water level is down you shouldn't have any problem launching with your motorhome. When you head down the road to the launch just bear to the right and that will take you the proper way around the circle, then there is plenty of room to maneuver while backing into the water. ...

About 15 years ago WFG planted tiger trout in Downs Lake, they were a great fighter and good table fare but for what ever reason they didn't survive past the first year. I recently heard a rumor that Buffalo Lake was in the process of being rehabilitated, I can't seem to get that confirmed or denied...
