Northwest Fishing Reports

If you want fish that time of year Id suggest saltwater fishing in areas that are open. The salmon wont really be coming up river like riverhunter stated.

After I forgot a net at Reiter one time I always check my "fishing list" I create the night before on my phone. I usually check it before I leave my spots as well and it has helped. I often talk to myself when I leave the house or my fishing spot. keys, phone, wallet, poles, boxes, etc hahaaha. Glad...

Agreed. Fishing Barbless is nice when practicing C&R to ensure a much more easy release too. I fish systems like the Stilly (When its open) which is barbless only. I educate others I see using trebles or barbs since I see it all t he time. A good fisherman can land a fish barb or not, but it does gi...

I saw quite a few carp in Lake Washington last weekend bass fishing. They're in there too. Pretty sure you can bow hunt for them in there as well. But don't take my word for it haha.
Shallow areas with weeds is the key for finding carp though.

Finally! Thanks for the update Larry. Ill have to go get a paper copy soon!

Indeed, many of my preferred spots on the sky involve crossing tracks. One spot I have given up on since Ive had the "neighbors" tell me its illegal and blah blah... They should start having designated foot traffic crossings for known fishing spots which again I know has been discussed in other foru...

Thanks Riverhunter. I was going to try for some springers but I didn't even check the water levels until I read your post. Very high GMPs out there right now. Well I did get my eggs prepped but it'll have to wait a bit I suppose. Looks like Ill be bass fishing tomorrow now! I do know a few people I ...

Keep us posted on if you see any fish! Good luck out there!

I see it now for lake index, weird I couldn't find it for a bit. Anyways thanks Aaron!

I might be missing something here. But when I try to look for lake reports I come up with not much. If I search for Goodwin for example, there is 1 report that comes up. Where do I find the information where it listed all reports for a certain body of water as well as sorting by species? The old web...

Right on. Yeah Terrell is one of the larger lakes I've taken my pontoon on so far in the last year or two. I mostly fish smaller lakes with it. And my buddy's bass boat cant go on Whatcom unfortunately since its a 2 stoke. But ill have to give it a try one of these days. I need to try Goodwin too si...

12:00AM... twilight zone?? hahaha The only bad thing about the sun coming up earlier is me getting up earlier on weekends to fish. I wake up earlier to fish then I do for work, but somehow its so much easier to wake up when your going fishing than to work... hahahah. Ill be up around 4:45AM tomorro...

Also, I organized and cleaned up up my bass & salmon gear last night. Turns out I have 3 boxes full of bass gear and 3 boxes full of salmon gear, mostly unopened stuff... I have a problem, but should save some $$$ this year since I can shop in my garage haha. Hello, My name is Tanner... and I have a...

One of best ways I have found to save on tackle (primarily for bass) is to grab your snorkel and explore heavily fished bass spots. Last summer I did that a few times, and ended up scoring a lot of hooks, jigs, spinners, and much more. Plus, it accomplishes several other things too. Taking free tac...

Thanks Aaron, I was wondering the same thing the other day.

I have a friend who lives on lake Ki and I have been to the opener there for prob the last 15 years. Its more for the entertainment of watching the parade of boats trolling around trying not to run into each other. Also all of the neighbors are usually hammered by about 8am haha. ALWAYS catch lots o...

Fishin Daze, Its nice to have discussions on here without people jumping all over ya! Everyone has opinion and techniques they like and use and its nice when you can have a nice discussion like this without people being rude and act like theyre the game warden hahaha. I give a lot of credit all of t...

ID suggest Lake Ki. Its a great trout lake with no gas motors and no wake.
Oh yeah and Lake Ki has Country Burger within walking distance from the camping and that place is great eatin!

No at all Fishin Daze. I hope no one is offended by my posts either. Just education & opinion as far as I'm concerned. I really don't keep bass. Maybe once a year if its in a nice clean water system where they are a nuisance fish, such as the Columbia trip I have coming up in May or camping trips. F...
